not quite ready to ride

I'm back to work today, and still jet laggy, which means I've been up since about 3am. I was gonna ride today, but I'm trying to imagine how I'm gonna feel after that MRI at 4:15, when it's getting dark and I've got 10+ miles to ride and I haven't had my (now traditional) 3 hour nap. This may be the day that kicks me back onto a west coast schedule.

The other tricky thing with the jet-laggy reality is food. I don't quite know when to eat, so I'm going with "hungrytime" and maybe settling for less food, more often. I'm also back at work today (big frown), which is gonna require a certain vigilance around not sedating through mindless snacking. I'm also gonna need to bring fruit. And maybe I can sneak some tofu from the salad station.

I'll walk to my MRI appointment up on first hill. That means about a mile and a half of mostly uphill, and then another walk into downtown to catch a bus home. As much as I hate the bus, I'm also trying to be good to myself around exhaustion. Walking a couple miles seems like a reasonable compromise.

One little bit at a time. And one foot in front of the other. I can feel myself coming back, methinks.
