Oh drat.

Well, just an update to let you know that I didn't follow through with my plan to participate in the 100 km event ride with my friends. :-( It seems as though life had other plans for me that included a sickness called the "stomach flu", or "food poisoning" (??). I don't know. It was bad. REALLY, really bad. And on Saturday morning when I was supposed to be riding my bicycle I could hardly get out of bed.
The situation could've been much worse, but luckily (for me), the hub got back from his business trip just in time to take care of the kids. The bright side is that no one else seems to have gotten it. Of that I am truly thankful.
