Being sick sucks

...simple as that. I've been fighting off a cold for the past few days and am finally on the upswing, but now have one heck of a cough. The kind of cough that keeps you up at night and seems to never want to leave. A constant tickle in my throat which seems to induce a painful cough about 12 times a minute.

I had been flying over the past few days and thanks in part to Cold FX was able to get the job done. My first day back from vacation was probably what led me down the road of sickness. I was already feeling like I might be coming down with some sort of sickness when I flew very early in the morning to Seattle after not much sleep. After returning from that flight I knew I was hooped. I had one day to sit around the house and heal as much as possibly before spending the next couple of days going up and down to Palm Springs from Edmonton and Phoenix. Finally finishing with a quick trip to Vancouver and back to Calgary yesterday. Now I'm on days off and just trying to get rid of this damn cough!

In other news, my return to the turboprop has been postponed a little due to some crewing issues and there not being enough coverage on our jet fleet for me to leave right away. So my new course date for Orlando training has been arranged for January 21st. The good thing about this inconvenience is that I will now be going on course with my previous roommate Mike. This should be a lot of fun and almost more of a vacation as we've both heard the training course is rather relaxed. Not to mention we both have 2 years of experience on the particular airplane as well.

Oh, and I am a guitar hero. Aside from the fact I can't get past the medium level! I've also hooked my xbox up with xbox live online and playing call of duty 4 online is amazing. The game itself is likely the best video game I have ever played, and the online play just takes it to another level. I am somewhat addicted when I should really be spending more time in the books preparing for training!
