Well…it’s going to be hard to get started today with no coffee before my doctor appointment at 9:30…trying to keep my blood pressure down sine I’m already going to get bitched at for high cholesterol and my glucose level is two points into the elevated range…but I know that I’m pretty dehydrated and that will have an effect along with the stress from riding 41 miles a day for the last two weeks…they have never seen a 70 year old like me so I’ll have to explain that to them…sleep was a little better last night with getting up at 1 and then out of bed at 4:56 and I need to get on the bike here in 25 minutes to get two rides in before the appointment and that will probably raise my blood pressure, too, so who knows what it’s going to be…mots of the rest of my tests are right down the middle where they should be so I guess that’s something…going to plant the peppers and tomatoes I got yesterday when the rain stops today but that won’t be til the afternoon after I get the bike rides in…the new shifter for the bike is supposed to get here today so I’ll drag the bike downstairs and pull the old one, install the new one and put a new shift cable in if I can’t salvage the new one that’s in there…not much to do today…and as always, that’s not true…I don’t have to cook with the leftovers in the fridge…can’t wait to have my coffee after I get back here…more later…
