Not sure how to start this.. but I’m typing on a plane in flight to Thunder Bay, and of course I choose to do this just as the it starts to get bumpy, so forgive spelling.

First time on a turbo prop plane, and atm is quite the ride.

First week back to work didn’t go to well, ended up falling victim to a cold/flu, was in for Monday, but as of Tuesday things were going down hill. Left work early on Tuesday, and Wednesday was on my ass watching the walls melt, feeling distant, and numb. Thursday, was still off, and stayed home, but by the end of the day was looking up…

Now comes the reason I’m on a plane, see Thursday (Jan 11th) is my mom’s birthday, and the kids were home, so I was going to Skype/iMessage to wish her a happy birthday. Just as I was going to call to start, my mom calls me saying my dad was in the hospital with heart issues, but everything is ok, and he is stable, and resting.

Needless to say, I was a bit shaken…

So, I’m going for a visit.

Should also mention that I am going from 10C to -26C… my face might hurt.
