Saturday was a beautiful day!!! Honestly, I'd never would've guessed I'd be able to learn to fly in Jan. and Feb. Shane and I decided to take advantage of the weather and go up for another lesson. We practiced and refined the skills we'd been working on. We also did three take offs and landings which was good practice.
I ran into some frustrations during the lesson because I wasn't mentally in the airplane. I had gotten very little sleep the two previous nights, and anyone who knows me knows I require at least 8 hours each night. I had thought I had been functioning quite well all day, but when we got in the air it was obvious to me I wasn't. Flying is such a mental thing and on top of that physically demanding. Halfway through the lesson I was very frustrated with myself. I knew what I needed to do but couldn't make it happen. I honestly don't remember much of the lesson, and I'm blaming it on my brain fog. The good thing is I learned something about myself and flying. I learned not fly when I'm overtired or I'll end up very close to a meltdown similar to my two year old's. Poor Shane!
