More Spinning

So, I spent six days over at the spin chair and the LT over there was very confident that I would do just fine back in the airplane. But when I flew yesterday, I threw up pretty early in the flight. The LT said he has never seen that before. if people get sick again it is after they fly a few more flights. Well, next week I will try flying in the morning with motion sickness medicine and the do the spin chair in the afternoons. I am still going strong, but if I get "actively airsick" once more
(especially with the meds) then I will not be disappointed if they consider me a lost cause and separate me. I'm sick of getting sick.
anyway, maybe I'll try to get a picture of this infamous spin chair so you can all see what it is I'm talking about.

I think we are going to head to the library right now (what better way to spend a Friday afternoon) then maybe go to town to eat at Panera Bread or something. I don't really know though, so we'll see.

Spin Chair

Well, I've made it to that point. I've had 10 flights. On seven of those flights I have been "actively airsick." That means I have thrown up. I tried Medicine on several of those flights. I have been going to this spin chair now for two days. I'll do it at least three more days. The first time wasn't too bad. Towards the end I started to hyperventilate (they were telling me to breath deeply in my stomach to relax myself. I guess I was breathing to rapidly. Some of my muscles tightened up. My hands tensed up and I couldn't open them. It was really weird. Today that didn't happen. But just before I finished the second spin I threw up. I felt terrible. The way it works is I spin for ten minutes, have a ten minute break, then spin for another ten minutes.
I've been looking at what else I could do if I can't get over this airsickness. I don't know if I'll study Russian, or international studies, or what not. Lets just hope it doesn't come to that.

Funny Picture


I was surfing the net when I stumbled upon this photo. I think it is hilarious

Fun at the Beach

Last night I found out that I was not scheduled to fly today, so Amanda suggested a trip to the beach. This morning we went down to the Beach. It was pretty calm, barely any waves. There was barely a breeze too. It was hot hot hot out of the water. The water was very nice though. The gulf temperature is probably 85 or so. We were able to take the kids out into the water. We all had fun. I forgot to sunscreen my back, so did Amanda. The sunscreen I put on Alex must have rubbed off, because he got burned a bit too. We were out there for a couple of hours.
After we got back from the beach, I edged the yard with my new $20 weed eater from Walmart. I then washed the car. I still can't get those bugs off the front. I think they are a permanent decoration there now.
Well, I don't have much more to say. Thanks for coming to my blog.

This is me


Welcome to my blog. Stay tuned for more. I'm just experimenting right now.
I've been playing around with it for a bit. I have a small start on it. I hope you enjoy my links and videos. I'll probably add a post once or twice a week, so you can come back for more fun if you would like to see what's going on in my life.
Here is a photo of my two lovely children, Ella and Alex.
