rest day

got some sleep, a little, woke up late, always good but late was 7:20...  let the dogs out, made coffee (more to stave off headache than to wake up with) and got back in bed.

I could, I suppose ride into the shop build a couple more and head home but I could just stay here, sleep/rest/nap/relax until the kid wakes up (double movie feature at home last night) and then get on with what we need to get done on a sunday. Just two of us means we gotta get it all done.

No big ride today, or yesterday, def a low ride week. But that's okay, there was some good intensity. No racing though, kind of jealous of all the racers to be honest. But it is what it is. And hey I ain't got time for the racing stuff yet.

But next week should be better mileage and saddle time wise. We've got smackdown on Tuesday, planning a Hundo with Goldberg on Wednesday (come hang out, we're headed down to Westport and that area - no not going over the Mt Hope bridge, going the freetown forest route) with the TT the day after. Sounds either good or really dumb but I know I need to be better rested this week than I was last week. Something's gotta give. Something's gotta change.

Maybe. Or I just need to take today off. Have to pick up E and K from the bus stop late afternoon today, then we can go back to sort of on schedule-ish, got a good bit of work to do around here still. Need to probably use vacation days more than one at a time and have a real break. But that's a bit uncertain as to when it will happen. Which bugs me a bit but also, I know i need it. Need to get the van fixed, rear brakes and EGR valve, just gotta order the parts... and make a window of time to do it in.

Why? For What? I dunno. dark cloud of politics is still scary, but hey this is a plutocratic country anyway, i should just get used to that...

July is almost over, August goes by in a blink, soon School is back in session...  and the next chapter will start.

for now i'm going back to bed, i'm tired.
