Fever Broke!

Today I did not get up early as planned once again to get my ass out and ride the bike for many many miles. That is okay though I was able to go for a nice 14 mile ride last night after the sun went down. The night rides are generally a blessing and a curse. They are a blessing because I am able to go ride, they are a curse because of the sprinklers and since it's dark out it's that much more difficult to watch for stupid drivers.

I'm happy to say as usual, that I was able to do the entire ride and make it back to the house in one piece. That is always my goal of course and it will always happen if I have my way.

One thing that I should mention is that there is another curse with riding at night. There are a TON of bugs out and especially this time of year. Last night there were even more than usual and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe because it's cooling off out and moving to fall, not sure.

I do know, that there are one less then there were before I went out riding because I had one fly into my mouth hit my throat, flutter a little bit, and then I swallowed. Not the dinner I was planning on having. On the bright side it served as a decent protein snack before I went home for dinner. I will say that while I did not actually taste it so I can't comment on whether it was a good or bad one thing I can tell you is that I don't plan to make bug eating a habit.

Fever Broke

On a positive note I am super happy to report that Zoey's fever finally broke last night or this morning one of the two. She was starting to act a lot more normal and so Cicely checked her temperature and it was 98.8 degrees and just a little while later it was down to 98.6 degrees and has been hovering there ever sense! We are so happy that she is feeling better and starting to get back to her normal smiling, happy self.

Research

So today I started doing some research to determine what I am going to use to post videos, photos, comments and whatever else I decide to post date today along with Cicely with regards to Zoey.

It's a toss up between using Blogger or using WordPress at the moment. One thing I like about Blogger is that I am currently using it and it works very well, is never down and because it's owned and maintained by Google that tells me it's probably going to be around for the long haul. At the same time, because it's run by Google, they could pull it at any time.

I suppose the exact same thing could happen with WordPress or any of them for that matter, but because WordPress has such a large community, just as Blogger does, it would probably get purchased or taken-over in some form from someone else.

Anyway the search will continue and eventually I will have something going that will be "all about Zoey" and then we can share anything we want with family. More on this later  once I have the time to do additional research and demoing.

That's All

So just as Porky Pig would say "that's all folks!" It's time for me to get my butt out and go for a nice ride, although in this shxtty wind, before it gets to be too late and it's another "night ride" with bugs. 

It's nearly 4:00 PM and I have not done much of anything today - once again - as I planned. So I need to get out and at least get a nice bike ride in and get back home so I can mow the lawn and all of the other things that happens on a normal Sunday afternoon. Also, I want to be able to help Cicely with stuff inside the house such as laundry, dishes and everything else that she seems to take care of almost 100% of the time.

Hopefully you had a good weekend and it was relaxing. I think we are about ready for a few days off so we can catch up on our relaxing. Does not look like that's going to happen anytime soon so we just need to step up and roll with the punches one day at a time.

Photo: Nothing exciting for the photo today so I snapped one of this gel that I have to use, well don't have to use, but it makes it easier than using saliva to get a good connection between my Garmin heart rate monitor and my skin. Anyway that's what this is and the stuff works great.
