I had a wonderful day so far. I’m feeling much better after getting my Covid and flu shots last week. The Covid one always knocks me on my bum for at least a few days, but totally worth it. We still have not had the virus yet.
I took a friend from work up for a flight this morning. I can’t tell you how much I missed taking people up for the last few years. We flew over Niagara Falls and then he flew us back to the Niagara District Airport. There, I showed him a couple aerobatic manoeuvres. There’s nothing better than looking over at my passenger, seeing how much they are enjoying the flight. Almost everyone I take up comments on how neat it is to see Lake Ontario and Lake Erie at the same time. They look much closer together from the air.
Vyctor got a little upgrade recently. Check out my classy new pitot tube cover:
So much better than those boring “Remove Before Flight” ones!
Once back at home, I had a little rest before giving a Wellness Fair presentation for work (virtually). I did it on becoming an aerobatic pilot. I was shocked to see 188 people watching! I love giving these presentations. It’s always better to do it in person, just to read people’s reactions and such. But I’m so grateful for the ability to do so online and reach a larger audience. The numerous comments I received during and after the presentation were beyond heart-warming and encouraging. My energy is really dropping after my exciting day, but I just can’t stop smiling after everything positive that happened.
I recently started a new position at work and I’m really loving it. I actually look forward to working again. Paws crossed the position lasts! Whilst working, I usually have little Mya sitting next to me in her heated cat cove:
Sometimes there are cuteness distractions, especially when Boo crams in there with Mya.
This week started out so perfectly. I’m hoping the rest of the week is as positive.
Today’s symptoms: I feel so much better today. I still have a lot of the aches from the vaccines, but they’re not nearly as bad as the last few days. My energy today is the best it’s been in about a week.

Hi Elizabeth. It is good to hear about your adventures in the air. Sorry to hear about your reaction to the Covid vaccine. So far I have had the original two doses and three additional doses including the latest variant just three days ago. Keep well my friend.
Your friend the author of the great book for kids mentioned that you might be able to provide me with a video of you flying with descriptions of what it is like for a girl to accomplish the aerobatics that you do. I would like to incorporate it into our Boy Scout Aviation Merit Badge class. Our next class is on January 20th, 2024. We provide the class at our Air Museum in Santa Rosa. The kids get a lot of info about what it takes to be a pilot, the different means to get the training, and the many jobs there are in aviation.
Lizzy, I’m glad that you were up in the air and giving other people the opportunity to experience flight. Sounds like an amazing day of level flight & aerobatics!
Congratulations on the Wellness workshop and your new position. Please send us the link to your talk as Stella & I always enjoy watching it too.
sounds great Sandy Watts
