Never has so much nothing been done in a week filled with so much.
Last week started with a snow day for B-Man, well, it was more of an ice day than a snow day, but the result was the same—no school. That worked out great because he was still in the painful healing process of having five wisdom teeth removed the previous Friday. Due to the ice there were no outdoor activities.
Tuesday brought a trip to the doctor to once again have some unusual swelling in my leg investigated and to get a referral to a vascular specialist. There was not much to it, but they wanted me to have another doppler scan of the leg. I told them I just had one last summer and it was negative, but they insisted. Turns out this time there was a DVT behind my knee. Cheers to DVT #4! I was taking anticoagulants but they don’t fully prevent the occurrence of another DVT, they fail to work even more when you don’t take them every day. Going to be seeing a specialist in the near future, hopefully that will prove worthwhile.
The week after that was blur of more snow, doctor’s offices, tire stores, shoveling and hate until Friday when I finally got outside for a 3.5-ish mile snowshoe on Sally’s Trail. It was great to get outside and to spend some time with my camera for the first time in days.

Saturday brought a little more snow and a day trip down to Rockford, Michigan with some friends. It was fun to hang out with them and to hit a couple of breweries along the way: first the Rockford Brewing for snacks and beer and then on the way home we hit the Cedar Springs Brewing Company for German bier und essen.

Weather is all over the place, and the fat bike is in the shop so any workouts will be done indoors or on snowshoes in the woods.
Later.
