slow improvement

i started feeling a little better throughout the day yesterday. this morning i woke up with the same amount of congestion/wheezing but without that achy cruddy edge. i'm happy i chose to not ride last night - it might have been just that little bit of rest my body needed. now, it's time to get back to work.

poor cal woke up with a fever this morning. his mother is staying with him today and i very likely will need to stay home tomorrow. this winter (especially when the snow came) i was really excited for its arrival and i couldn't remember what it was about winter that i have grown to despise. then the sickness started hitting us. for 2-3 months out of the year, there is at least one sick person in the house. everyone is inside. all. the. time. he probably caught a new virus that i will get...oh, around wednesday of next week. oh well, just have to deal.

i heard a story about the house not voting on disaster relief on npr this morning. within the story was some quotes from chris christie. i never thought i would state this but i actually really like him. i don't mind if people have differing political opinions but sometimes sanity/common sense needs to usurp the political game. i appreciate that he can put his party affiliations aside and call out the scoundrels that need to be called out.

happy thursday.
