Busy-ness

Well, it's been quite some time since I've blogged, and it's weird having the time now to sit and write a bit. The weather here is somewhat iffy for the next few days, so I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to fly.

I got sick for the first time this year Tuesday or so, and bad enough to go to the doctor Thursday. I'm glad I went, because I found out that I had bronchitis and sinusitis. I thought I had just a really bad cold, but evidentally it had progressed into the sinusitis and bronchitis. So they gave me that Z-pack thing and some strong decongestant and sent me home, telling me that I could go back to work.

I didn't go back to work. Friday I felt so bad that anytime I moved, my pounding headache just pounded some more. I had a headache since I woke up Friday around 8 until around 6 that night, so I decided that maybe if I just got out of the house and drove around a bit it would get better. It didn't, just kept getting more and more intense. So I decided to go back to the doctor, and they told me that headaches weren't uncommon with sinusitis, and that it was nothing to worry about. They gave me another prescription, this time for a narcotic to knock the pain out, and sent me home. Got it filled, took some, and then I was nausious. I was like, what the hell. I managed to eat some toast and just went to sleep. Not much better Saturday, I was doped on the pain killer most of the day, but felt heaps better by that night. No meds today, so went back to work this morning and had a pretty good day.

Unfortunately I didn't get to solo my student this morning, so we just got a couple of good crosswind landings in and came back. Sat around at the school for a bit, then went to pick up the rest of my unfilled meds from the pharmacy, had lunch, then picked up my afternoon students. Did a short sim, then had a pretty good flight doing short/soft field landings with a little bit of a light crosswind, came back, and called it a day. Did a little ground tutoring, drove everyone home, then finished up some online shopping. Will read a bit tonight, in a pretty good one now called Penrod and Sam, circa 1920s, not bad, about some young hoodlum boys. Then start a fresh week tomorrow. No AM flight - ceiling - but hopefully finish up my third student in the sim before I leave for a short vacation.

Cheers,
