Catchin' Zoey's Bug

This weekend went by really fast, so fast in fact that when I woke up this morning I was almost certain that it was Sunday and started planning in my head if I was going to take the road bike for a spin or possibly take the mountain bike to one of my usual locations and put some miles on it while playing in the dirt.

Then everything came into focus, no wait, it's not Sunday it's friggin' Monday! It's really bright out and my alarm clock has not went off yet. Oops, as I look over at the clock, yea it did in fact go off over an hour and thirty minutes ago! Cicely and I just slept through it. Well I slept through it, most times she does not hear it and relies on me to get her up which is fine, she needs the extra sleep.

Anyway, this meant jumping out of bed and getting ready, feeding Oggy and Zoey as well as all of the other morning duties like filling my belly up with coffee and a yogurt or related. Unfortunately there was no time for the yogurt today so I grabbed one to-go. I can either eat it this morning or Dave it for an afternoon snack if I get hungry.

As I type this we are on our way to work, dropping Zoey off first, then Cicely and I heading into our studios to start the day and our work weeks.

Bug

Zoey was home sick all last week along with Cicely staying home to take care of her. Happy to report that Zoey is feeling much better today from the sound of her chest and cough and is sleeping much better as well. On the downside, now Cicely and I seem to be getting the bug that she was fighting, wonderful!

Cicely was not feeling very good as of Friday and it was progressing as the weekend went on. Last night she was really achy she said, though better today only sore from it.

Me on the other hand, I feel as though it's going right into my chest and making me have this annoying dry cough or that feeling that I am going to cough at any moment, my next breath or?

It figures that I would put in for some much needed and well deserved time off and away from work only to end up nursing a cold. My hope is that it does not progress and I will be over it before vacation days kick in. Not to forget I have a dental cleaning on Thursday and that will be no fun if I am coughing or congested for it.  I have been dreading them enough lately because of my teeth suddenly becoming overly sensitive.

Nothing Else

Other than that, I don't have anything else to rabble about today that is worth writing about. The week is short because of the vacation days and I have a decent amount of stuff to get done in that time. Otherwise I have to take work home with me and that is never on the top of my list as something I want to do.

More on the cold and related as the week goes on. My hope is that I am able to update that everything is good and the cold only bothered me for a day or two. I want to do a few rides, preferably one a day and having a cold will not help me to accomplish that goal.
