  • whoops, i got behind again in updating!  it's sunday morning, and we're enjoying having the windows open for the first time in a few weeks.  it's a gorgeous day!  last week was a good one at work.  lots of check-ups, which i enjoy.  it's nice to check on everything, to make sure they're doing well in all aspects of their life.  there isn't really time at sick visits to talk about school, nutrition, sleep, fitness, all that stuff.  i've been brainstorming ways to help kids more with healthy lifestyles.  i spend a lot of time one-on-one with kids who're struggling with weight and/or sedentary lifestyle.  i'd like to step out of the clinic a bit to help kids more, but i'm not sure yet what form it'll take.

    next weekend is the 18 hour race - my first MTB race!  i bought a new seat for the occasion.  a terry falcon x:

    very comfy!  friday afternoon i did a short ride downtown, then i did the pocahontas night ride.  it was the first time using my light on the trails.  it worked great!

    i have a vacation coming soon!  i'll spend the first few days doing a big spring cleaning of the house.  it needs one!  then we'll go to the cabin in NC.  ian wants to fish, but he says he doesn't want to swim in the lake, because the ducks won't want to share it.    ian hasn't had a real vacation before, so i'm excited about this.  i think he'll love it!
