Annnnd

I'm coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose-ing.  Summer cold?  *sigh*  Just what I need. Especially right now. I have trips tomorrow to Teterboro, Friday to Louisville and Toledo, Saturday to DuPage and fly BOB, Sunday back to Teterboro, Monday is Kaylee's pinning ceremony at IWU, Tuesday I run Ethan's whole work crew up to Oshkosh for the day and then come back, and Wednesday I go up to Oshkosh myself to stay until the end.  No time to be sick.  I've been drinking water and taking vitamins and trying to get good sleep.

This morning I was up early and at Frankfort by 7:40 am. Took Nick and Clay to Gallipose, Ohio so they could work on a job in West Virginia. It was IFR there and I had to shoot the whole approach including a hold, which isn't that common any more.  Then I went back to Frankfort, where it was also still IFR, and had to actually hold over the IAF before they let me go in because of additional traffic.  That's also super rare around here. Landed, picked up Stephen, and flew him over to Champaign, IL, where it was also IFR but I just did a normal RNAV approach.  Three approaches and two holds later, I'm almost current in one morning. While we were in Champaign, I took the courtesy car in to La Peeps and had some tasty breakfast options.  Got back, and it was time to head back to Gallipose, OH to pick up Nick and Clay, then take everyone back to Frankfort.  Home by 4 pm.

I had some things to get done as soon as I could when I got home. The last two loads of laundry for Steve's packing, scanning in the fuel receipts from today and sending them on, sending the billing to Steve, updating the plane and my logbooks, paying the house bills online/banking, and I placed an order for some things we need to have it delivered, including some sun screen for Steve to take to Osh. I'd tried stopping at CVS on the way home to pick it up there, and they didn't have the brand. So I got it via alternative means. 

I've got a few more things to do tonight, and some planning to do for tomorrow's trip. Teterboro will require more effort than many.
