Today I’m in the dumps. It’s a cold rainy day in Seattle, and I miss riding my bike. I haven’t been riding because I’ve been feeling sick for months; just a short ride between home and work twice a day can leave me feeling so drained I need to sleep immediately when I get home.
I’m feeling discouraged by the results of my latest round of efforts to “fix” myself… fix the lupus fatigue, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines…
I miss riding my bike in the sun, and feeling so healthy that riding my bike is more of a default way of getting around than something I have to nag myself about.
Here is a picture of my awesome bike, a 2007 Redline Conquest Sport with “celeste” handlebar tape, ha. It was taken in May 2007 when I was riding home from work through Montlake. My bike and I stopped to investigate a pond and I took a picture of her chillin against a tree trunk.
