Well…up at 5:30 this morning but was able to lie in bed til 6:20 so that’s okay…and I slept okay and feel good this morning…well…not good but okay and I have to remember to eat something before I get on the bike in a little while…I did go out and look for the northern lights last night and that was a bust…it was nice and clear and saw a bunch of stars so that was cool….didn’t get anything done yesterday and today will probably be the same but I do need to clean the bathroom and vacuum the rug in the living room and that will be after I get two rides in this morning….my legs feel okay today but they hurt pretty bad sitting here last night and I’m glad the ibuprofen worked…and I had the first day of no pain shifting the bike yesterday and it is nice to not have to think about it anymore….have been working the thumb to try to get some range of motion back but I think that ship has sailed….but I can use it again for most things and I think it will get a little better over time…not much to do today…it’s still only 7:15 and it won’t be light enough to get on the bike until 8:30 or so and that gives me time to read the news and have more coffee…..I do have to remember to eat more today since I think I may have been close to not enough yesterday…this really is harder than I thought…and it’s weird, like me….more later…
