So... Tired!

I don't think yesterday's ride is what wiped me out; I've ridden more than that in a day without getting this tired. I think it was the fact that I had to run some laundry before going to bed. My cycling shorts, for example, I don't like to wear without washing afterwards. I should go buy more, but I'm kind of broke with taxes, saving up for moving, and trying to get my new bike. The clothes went into the dryer at about 12:15AM, and I took an hour-long nap while they dried. Then I was up until about 1:30, and woke up at 5:30 to hit the road this morning. I just could not bring myself to get ready. I just sat there in bed for a while, feeling numb and dizzy with a slight headache and swollen eyes.

Finally prying myself from under the covers, I checked the weather. 49 Degrees, chance of rain. I looked outside to find clouds to the south but dry pavement. My wife had been running the A/C all night, so I was frigid. I tossed on my jeans and a hoodie to ride in, even though shorts and a windbreaker would have worked fine.

I left at about 6:20, took a really slow pace, showed up and caught the 6:45 bus. I had to ask the bus driver where he was going. I'm going to have to do this on a daily basis now. Isn't that just delightful?
