I’m just finished Mullane’s Guide to Learning to Fly: Deep Dives into Select Topics for Today’s Student Pilot and really enjoyed it. It helped me grasp some tricky concepts and gave me a much broader perspective on general aviation (GA). But WHOA my brain was mellllllting while reading it (and still?)! And it isn’t even a textbook – it’s anecdotal and conversational – but it’s packed with so much information. If this little book was melting my brain, I can’t even imagine what Steven went through with actual aviation textbooks. Damn. The more I learn about GA the more impressed I am with Steven’s understanding of it!
So. I’m reading that book and it gets into magnetic headings. I won’t bore you with all that but I was talking to Steven about this and DID YOU KNOW that the magnetic north and south poles can swap locations?! It’s called a magnetic reversal. Apparently the last one was 42,000 years ago and it took place over 1,000 years. This information blew my mind but maybe it’s common knowledge.
Our fortune cookies have really been trying to get us to reconnect with old friends! First Steven, now me:
It says “friend long absent are coming back to you.” WHO?! Who is it going to be?!
I am going to count that ^ as my current mani pic too. All my nails are that glitter.
I received a package from Katja in Germany last night and this was legit my face when I saw my very own vegan Santa! How did I forget about all the amazing vegan chocolate in Germany?! What a great surprise!
My bank sent me a credit card with an entirely new number and what a pita it’s been to change my billing info for subscriptions. One place didn’t have the option to change it at all, and two had the option to change it but it doesn’t work. So odd. Do you want my money… or no?
I just had to get a new debit card/credit card when I lost my wallet and it SUCKS. I keep getting these notifications that certain charges failed because I forgot to change my billing. SO FUN.
Yay for the correction and fun presents from friends!

OMG! They should give us a little grace when that happens! It’s hard to remember everything.
Guess what has been the worst to try to update? Patreon. It just fails out every time. They say it’s my bank and told me to call them. LOLOLOL no.
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned.
