Gosh. Apparently it's Compliment Dichroic Week. First there were the kind words from other JCon attendees (all of which accounts for my hits here being double and triple the usual for the past few days, though my gratitude has less to do with the increased traffic and more to do with the them coming from such goddesses of the blogosphere). Then there was a very kind reply to an email I sent Batten (not surprising, as she's better than anyone else I've ever met at letting her friends know how she values them), finishing off with the following in an email from Alison (in reference my quitting IFR flying):
But I know you, and the Paula I know doesn't let anything stop her! She can row forever, beat women twice her size and any man that tells her she can't.... Once she puts her mind to something she does it - no matter how painful or how long it takes...
Not entirely true, but much appreciated nonetheless. Plus, there have been various other nice comments from people I met last weekend. And Rudder's taking me out to a very fancy restaurant tomorrow after the regatta in celebration of my taking the IFR checkride even though I didn't pass it, or of completing the training, or something unidentifiable in that direction.
A girl could get used to this.
