Woke up again with the right side of my skull feeling like it was going to explode, so naturally decided to go for a ride. Since all of my "taking it easy" has apparently had little effect on the speed of my recovery, I'm going to take a different tack now and ride my bike. The temperature is still warm - I think it was 71F this morning before sunrise. I got in a nice ride of 26 miles or so with Dan, Joe F. and Bob P. We put a little pressure on the pedals on the way back into the headwind. Nothing too dramatic, but definitely enough to shake loose some of the thick yellow mucus clogging up my head. It would have been a big mistake to be riding closely behind me toward the end of the ride.
This afternoon I was in a meeting with some of the office staff discussing the impact of our recently slashed budget when - poof - the lights went out. And they stayed out. After about 45 minutes I finally packed up and walked down 20 flights of stairs to the car, then had to exit out the "in" ramp since the exit gate apparently won't work without electricity.
I've decided to go ahead and drive over to Dallas on Thursday morning, partially to save money and partially so I can bring along my bike. Now if this damed sinus infection will just resolve itself, I might be able to get in a decent ride or two. Anyway, the funeral is on Friday, so I can probably get in a few miles that evening and then maybe a long ride on Saturday. Not sure when we'll leave on Sunday or if we'll just stick around and leave Monday morning. It's about a nine-hour drive, but not a bad one unless you catch rush hour traffic in Dallas.
