Yesterday was Taylor’s first flight out of O.E. training. He was on reserve for the day with a three-day trip planned for Tuesday. He got called in for a quick out-and-back to Wausau, Wisconsin. It was a cold, snowy day in Detroit…but after an hour and a half of de-icing they took off no problem. […]

Today I submitted my letter of intent to resign. According to Lizzie, I wrote a picture-perfect letter of resignation. My last day will be December 14th-ish.

I never really finished my account of my Michigan trip. I was lucky enough to get my first-choice flight home on Sunday. I also got an assigned seat when I checked in, which typically doesn’t happen when flying standby. Not a lot was significant in the last day and a half…just some apartment hunting, shopping, […]
I didn’t ever get tagged by anyone to blog about six crazy habits about myself, but Lizzie did tag me to devise a list of 5 courses I would take to improve my life. I tag Steve, Zach, Wahlee, Nicole, and Celeste to do the same…. Five Courses to Improve My Life How to deal […]
I’m not sick anymore. I’m happy about that. Z-Pak, popcicles, and a day off work helped me recover from tonsillitis and an ear infection. Halloween was full of lots of candy. And Rosie was a major flirt. Right now I’m blogging from Canton, MI. I was lucky enough to get a seat on a totally […]
Is it worse to have tonsilloliths or actually know what they are and how to remove them? It looks like a trip to the doctor is in order. My right tonsil is swollen, my glands are swollen, my ears hurt, and my nose won’t stop running. At first I though it was just allergies, but […]
