- On top of all the crap we went through with our vet last week, Roland now has kennel cough. My poor baby hacks like an old man all night long, and during the day he lays on his doggie bed and sulks. I think we’ll be finding ourselves a new vet after this. Because kennel cough is so contagious, Roland can’t go to the dog park until he’s completely cleared up. Until he stops eating and drinking altogether, I refuse to put him on antibiotics because he’s young and healthy and should be able to fight on his own. I feel terrible for my little guy, and so does Josh, who even let Roland ride in the back seat instead of the hatch of our Suburu. Despite that, I admit that it’s kind of nice having a normal dog for once; meaning, one who doesn’t have an agenda for the first time in his life, and is content to lay on his bed and just hang out with us.
- I actually watched the Super Bowl last night, although I didn’t know who was playing (or that there even was a game) until that morning. It was the best game I think I have ever watched. I love seeing the underdawgs pull-through. The Patriots clearly had some karma coming their way (with their cheating and Tom Brady’s little stunt.) If all football games were that exciting, I would definitely be a fan.
- Instead of football, my family raises me on politics, and thus, we are all looking forward to Super Tuesday tomorrow. We plan on being glued to the television all night long, and I can’t wait. Unfortunately, Colorado doesn’t have a primary election; instead, they use a caucus. Normally that’s not such a bad thing, but I’m registered as a libertarian so I don’t get to participate tomorrow. DAMNIT. In my heart, I AM a libertarian, but if that means I don’t get to go out and play on Super Tuesday, forget it.
- I’ve been exercising. A lot. And the best part is I’ve been enjoying it and really making an effort to make it part of my schedule. I found a fun kickboxing class at the rec center (makes me realize how much I miss karate) and we play dodgeball on Friday nights. We haven’t won yet, but at least it’s good exercise. I’m also doing this program called CrossFit which is a pretty intense routine that a lot of gymnasts and police officers use, apparently. I love it because it causes me enough pain to make me feel like I’ve done something. I also like the varied routines, not having to come up with any of it myself, and my favorite part is that I can see tangible, real progress, which is so important to immediate-gratification-types like myself. Check it out for yourself at www.crossfit.com. I vowed to try it for at least a month, and now my month is past, so I’m going to keep on it for another month and re-evaluate then.

I’ll have to check out that site you recommended for working out- I hate it but still trying
As for Roland, I am sorry to hear about that, it should be relieved quite soon with the antibiotics 
Have a good week
