hot bike rides

Today is supposedly the hottest day of the year and yet I feel the call of the bike.  That said, I may only feel that call for 3 or 4 miles!  Hopefully, I can get 10 in before the sweaty mess overtakes me.  I’m going to ride on one of my favorite paths, which is wooded.  I think it’s probably the smart thing to do!  It’s not very hilly, which is a bummer, so I won’t get a super intense workout in, but I figure if I can GET a ride in and survive 100 degree temps, I’m doing well!  I’m still not conditioned for this heat on my bike.  Perhaps one day, but not right now.  Sigh.  If only I had a road bike.  But, that’s for a later time when I’ve proven several things to myself.

So, in about an hour, I will be heading out and heating up.  Hopefully there will be more posting from me!  :O)

my couch

It’s been almost 27 hours and I’ve managed to move from my bed to my couch. Pretty productive, eh? I am basically in migraine hell and am OVER it. My neurologist called in a second round of steroids for me to take, so here’s to another 6 days. I have an MRI scheduled for Friday and am really hoping I will be able to get some answers sometime next week. I had to miss work today and am not going to the office tomorrow due to the fact that we have a bajillion Ugandan necklaces that are heavily varnished sitting in our office. I’m not sure if anyone else has the same reaction as myself to things like varnish and thinner, but I get an instant migraine. So, add that to the 3 week migraine that I’ve already had and it’s been a pretty brutal few days.

Thank goodness for a boyfriend who brings ice packs and Excedrin and takes dogs outside. Not sure I would have survived the past 24 hours without him.

Now, I’m being taken care of by this one…
