NOTES:
Tired. Dehydrated. People blowing past me even when I feel like I'm making okay time. I can barely keep my eyes open all day - both during my rides and at work. Guhhh. This is what happens when I drink a half bottle of wine the night before bike-commuting, then don't sleep enough. It makes for a less-than-kind next day. And the ride at the end of the day, after slugging through a day of work and struggling to keep awake in quiet reflective moments with my clients, was really not fun. I was sluggish, my muscles ached, my throat and mouth were so dry I couldn't swallow for the entire half-hour ride home. I was so damn pleased to finally get home after all that, but even now I'm still irritable and my eyes are bugging me.
I have to say, partaking in the drinky-drink to that extent in the middle of the week: I wouldn't recommend it.
