fog and hazy

not the weather, not it was cold out there this morning. Rode in even. sick and all. maybe not the best idea, but a zone 1 ride for 40 minutes shouldn't make or break me. might even keep the muscles from atrophying (is that the right word?). still tired, fuzzy headed. damn time change has me pretty screwed up. i've been pretty solidly waking up at 5:45-6am even w/o the alarm. i'll usually wake up, try and see what time it is (clock on opposite side of bedroom) then see i have 5-20 minutes before the alarm goes off and i try to sleep a few more winks. this morning, damn i had an hour of trying to get more sleep. suckfest.

ah well, hopefully this anti-strep throat drug i'm taking will kick in, the soreness is enough to wake me up a handful of times through the night. good thing though that the girls are sleeping through the night again, just me waking myself up. drained.

i really wanted to see how they would mix up the course for sunday. i did really want to hang out with chippy and simpson and the gang (still have a hard time not shouting yogurt boy, but I think pinkie will work to replace that nickname). it was a fun scene. great to see the tiny one out trying the terry cross bike. and the rest of the crew out there. poor colin's results are way up there but his luck with parts isn't so much. my luck seems to be on par with his lately.

to top it all off i meant to charge the headlight last night. oops. kind of forgot, and the 1.2A rate takes a while to fill a 10,000amp/hr battery. that and while i remembered to grab the cage that holds the battery, i seem to have forgotten the w/b bolts, and a known working red blinky light. the one i grabbed has dead batteries and i hope that two of the three loose batteries i nabbed will work. but then half way in i realized, oops, i'd forgotten to stick the rear light bracket in the bag. not to mention remember to check and see if i still had a tube or patch kit and inflation device in the commute bag. just so not with it. time change is a pain. top it all off the kids don't have school tomorrow. means i'll get a day of herding cats. of course they are actually excited to go vote with me. hopefully they will sort it all out by last names. for some reason there aren't many portuguese last names that start with letters at the end of the alphabet. quite the change from the polish heavy end of the list in michigan.

i don't know what other rambling crap will spill out of my head at this moment so i'm going to close the faucet and move on. cort is right, these damn drugs make ya feel crappy. the stuff the girls are taking is like crack. w/in minutes of them getting their dose they are bouncing off the walls hyper. me, just the opposite, damn.

stay healthy, i tried my best and did pretty damn good, but just not quite good enough.
