Monday

Sunday I didn't do a darned thing. Today I had a tailwheel lesson, I was hoping to sign them off, but we came down, bounced, hit the ground, shoved the stick forward, took out the crosswind correction, and made a mess of it.  *sigh*  So we've got some more days to go.  They're trying to memorize what to do without actually understanding, and tries to do everything in aviation by memorizing "If A, then B." Unfortunately flying successfully requires more than that.  I'm hoping we can get there.

Steve, Kaylee and I went to dinner tonight, and I took Roadie to the vet this afternoon. The vet says she has "a lot going on."  They did blood and urine tests, and I'll know the results of that tomorrow.  In the meantime, she has a double ear yeast infection, still has kidney issues, has torn some of her fur out of her tail, has cloudy eyes from age, arthritis, a heart murmur, and has lost a pound and a quarter in less than a year.  So we'll decide where to go after the test results get back.  She's 16 years old, so...  And she was mad at me the whole time, until we got back here. She wouldn't look at me, her ears were flat, she was quite peeved. Once we got back home, she passed out for awhile and has been doing all right ever since.

When I finally got her to turn around this was her face
