Cold Weather Returns

Okay, so it's the middle of May and the weather should be getting warm, we should be working on our suntans starting to BBQ and spend more time outside. The problem is, it's cold today and while I am still wearing shorts I do have a long sleeve hoody on.

Already snow in the mountains as well as chain controls for any vehicles going to the mountains today. All winter long we had nice weather and little to no precipitation. Of course now that it's summer and everyone wants to go outside to enjoy the weather with family and friends or to simply spend time outside we cannot.

Okay I guess I take that back, of course we can but not in the way that we want to. Normally this time of year is when we would be at the lake and that sort of thing. Instead we are doing less of that and more of bundling up.

Off Tomorrow

My guess is that because I'm off tomorrow that is the reason that the weather is so crappy. Otherwise it would be a nice warm day and I would not even have to worry about going outside because I would be stuck in my gray cubicle. On top of it my throat is a little sore as of yesterday so I am concerned that I am getting sick. Let's hope not, it seems like every time I take DTO I end up spending it getting over a cold.

Colds are really weird for me as well this year. Actually ever since we had Zoey I have gotten more colds than I had previously had in the past five or six years. It's crazy how much they bring home from school and how often you get sick because of them being sick. The colds don't always come and go quickly either at times they tend to last several weeks or more and just drag on.

Oh well, it's all part of being a parent and something that everyone has to get used to it at some point right? As soon as summer actually gets here and stays that should get rid of most of the germs and help to keep everyone from getting the common cold as often. That is until winter is here once again.

Cycling

Last night I managed to miss a night of cycling because I was messing around on the computer trying to find a good route to take. The difficult part is that some of the routes are in other time zones. So if I use those routes for my spin, once uploaded they don't show up correctly in my account.

When that happens and the time zone is off I do not get credit for the ride as the application sees it as a manual entry. With manual entries it would be really easy for people to cheat and even though most would not, there would be a ton that would because they could. Pretty stupid if you ask me - the cheating not the part about them not allowing the data entries manually.

Enough Typing

Anyway, enough about all of that for the day. I think we will still have a good couple of days off and if we end up going down to see mom then all the better, right! I can get my rides in on the trainer if necessary, although I was really looking forward to being outside. Next time!
