Highs and Lows

Some highs and lows from the past few days:

AC failed his check ride after flying all of his regular rides really well. He made a few minor errors, but was shocked that he didn't pass. Now he has 6 rides left before he's done here, which could take as little as 3 weeks, or as long as 6 or more, depending on the weather and the planes. I am so sick of the uncertainty.

We finally received AC's class dates for his training in Albuquerque: Oct. 6-Feb. 5. We're supposed to be in Okinawa no later than February 20. Since the training is backed up in Albuquerque, AC thinks our Okinawa dates may get pushed back even further, which is fine by me.

AC came down with what appeared to be a 24-hour virus on Friday evening (slight fever, body aches, chills, sore throat, fatigue), and amazingly, I have not caught it, although my lungs have been feeling slightly worse than usual.

Some heavy rain this weekend revealed that we have a leak that drips directly onto our rented futon, so AC moved the futon and coffee table forward, and we set up a container to catch the drips.

Ziggy continues to be more active--not quite as boisterous as the day I was officially 26 weeks, but there's definitely more movement (most of which is visible from the outside) than before, including regular bouts of hiccups!
