Narrative:
This is a fatigue report. I just flew a 3-DAY followed by a 2-DAY trip. The first 3-DAY trip dealt with the security issue the first day of my trip. Tsa took all my toiletries which made me very upset. So far I have not heard from the flight office of whether I will be reimbursed for these items because I had to purchase many of them from expensive places at the airport. That stress along with many reassignments because of broken aircraft continued for me on that trip. Because of the reassignment; I landed in at the end of my third day in ord at XA00. I then had to get ready to fly my 2-DAY trip 13 hours later. The second 2-DAY trip was stressful because of aircraft refusal. The original aircraft assigned to me had the forward lavatory inoperative. The end of the first day dealt with delays for inbound aircraft into iad. Even though I only flew 1 leg on the 2ND (5TH) day; when I arrived in ord; I was very tired. As I write this report almost 24 hours later; I am still fatigued. I could not get any rest last night. My body is very heavy and my mind will not rest. I am not sure I will be ready for my next flight and may have to call in sick because I am coming down with a cold in august. Company expects pilots to fly over 90 hours a month and when this occurs; pilots like me become fatigued.
