So – I was all prepared for a ride into work today . . . and then it spent all night raining. It’s still raining now. While I’m not opposed to biking in through the rain, I do not have the appropriate gear to fend off a constant downpour. I may have such gear in time, but for right now, I’m just not going to be biking out when more than a drizzle is anticipated. This way, I have less to worry about cleaning up when I get to work (where I have a “business professional” dress code).
On top of all of this, something bit me yesterday while I was doing my annual Mother’s Day duty of gardening. Apparently I have some hives on my back, and they’re very, very itchy. I’m not sure if it was the volume of the rain last night that woke me up (or my back), but I know it was the itchy back that kept me awake. No sleep = no exercise bike in the morning.
Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful, though, so I should have happier things to post then.
