Well…damn, the gout still hurts like crazy today even with drinking a gallon and a half of water yesterday….and I guess it’s something that is going to take a while to get over…probably should take some ibuprofen now to help it before I get on the bike…but I don’t want to get up off the couch…okay, how the heck can the weather widget on my screen say record high temps and then cold weather a minute later? Whatever, it looks like I’ll be able to get outdoors on the bike today after the two indoor rides…I really feel like I should be cooking something today but it would be easy like pasta…got some garlic bread yesterday and simple food seems like a good idea…have some shredded cheddar that needs to be used before it spoils so maybe some more bean burritos, too? That won’t be til tomorrow since I still have leftovers that need to be used….we’re going to be two weeks into Feb before it gets below freezing and that puts us two weeks closer to spring…the last snow on my lot is quickly melting and it should be gone in a couple of days and I really hope it’s gone for good…not much to do today…just riding and drinking a lot of water…need to pay some bills at the city offices tomorrow and I am going to try to finish the book I’ve got going so I can get a couple more at the library….more later…
