ups and downs
calvin was sick all last week with a cold. it came to a head on thursday and we ended up taking him to the pediatrician just to be safe. turns out he was fine. it's hard when your kid rapidly spirals into a situation requiring the icu. you are always wondering if it is happening again (even though it is unlikely and you know he probably 'just' has a cold).
i managed to get some riding in around his sick days. thursday i got a hard hour. friday i got out for 2 hours of gravel grinding and saturday another 2 hours riding some of my favorite roads. every year i get older, observatory gets a little steeper. weird. 5 hours in 3 days is not my intended 8-10 hours but it is better than a kick in the pants. all rides were very windy which i guess is good. i even got caught in some rain on friday.
yesterday we had a great day. calvin woke up jolly and we got everyone dressed up and went to church. i'm not much of a religous guy but i do like going to our church. calvin only got called a girl a half dozen times due to his easter outfit. then we hit brunch at the concourse and i ate more than my share of breakfast items and meat. oh and sweets too. with my blood sugar at danerous levels we drove to blue mounds and then took the scenic route home. capped it off with a nice long walk with the family around the neighborhood.
i think we are both getting calvin's cold. i will say this...i'd rather take care of a happy baby while i feel like crapola than taking care of a sick baby while i'm feeling well. so...things are looking up?
happy monday.
