Well…it looks like the first ride today will be downstairs and I need to get to it in 15 minutes or so so I can get to the grocery run by 8:15 or so…and I have just started my first cup of coffee so that is going to be a stretch…slept okay last night but I am struggling with allergies and have had a sore throat from it since yesterday that is pretty damn annoying…had a good day yesterday but needed to work on the trip research but didn’t…so today will be all research, all the time so I can be ready for the conference tomorrow afternoon…should only take me a few hours for that and with the rain out there, I’ll probably not be able to ride outdoors so that will make it easier to get my work done…I thought my back was getting better after I took the day off Monday but it went right back to crap after riding only one ride yesterday so I need to figure out what is going on since it hurts to just sit here…yeah, I know I’m getting old but this shouldn’t hurt like this…I wonder if it’s from bone loss? Shouldn’t be since it feels like muscle pain and not the deep pain that comes with a disc problem…hmmmm…not much to do today…just the ride and grocery run are the only plans I have and I should be done with that by 9:30 or so and that will open up my day for the rest of the things I need to do…so, I should get at it….more later….
