No news is good news?

Well not necessarily. I haven't been able to write for a while because worked 41.25 hours (3hrs at a time) last week at the airport and drove back and forth between Galena to house/dog sit. I believe that's more than I ever worked at the Pizza Ranch or the Pella airport in one week. I haven't lost my sanity quite yet, but I am awfully tired. I'm glad to have the extra money though. I got a flat tire last week and had to fork out money for that. My muffler has been noisy for quite a while too and I will finally be getting that fixed. I've also been busy studying and writing lesson plans for my flight instructor rating. It's going really well so far, but my instructor says I need to share some more personal examples to keep the student interested. I think I've had the experiences, I just have trouble recalling them from memory. I didn't have to work today or tomorrow, but went in this morning to help because we had 30 passengers on the list (our biggest load yet!) Nothing else too monumental happening in Dubuque this week. I hope to get a haircut tomorrow. I'll also continue searching for a roommate to replace Matt, who will be leaving at the end of the month. He graduated from UD with me this spring and will be attending Hawkeye CC to study his passion of photography. I'll miss coming home and unwinding with him and will always remember all the jokes and interests we shared while we lived together the past two years. I need to give him a shout out this week for letting me use his car several times while my spare tired sat on my car. The other day he dropped me off at the airport so he could keep his car. Before he left the airport, we spent a few minutes ogling a Lotus that I noticed had been sitting there for a couple days. I went back yesterday to take some pictures of the car during the day. Matt has been a very generous roommate. He has let me borrow his camera on several occasions and we've each shared food until the other could get to the store. We also had fun trying new recipes and cooking for one another. The night that he dropped me off there was some weather around the Minneapolis airport and our plane was delayed getting into Minneapolis which pushed back the arrival time into Dubuque. He ended up waiting for me until about two in the morning before I got done with work. Matt's been a great friend and I'm glad I got to know him.
