Winter Bike to Work Day & #fixedgearFriday but unfortunately for me I’m still off the bike due to the little injury 3 weeks ago. Healing slowly & ideally back in the saddle next week.
Friday is almost upon us, and it’s Winter Bike to Work Day tomorrow!

When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

Oof. I’m already struggling mentally & financially, being injured currently definitely doesn’t help and now some work news this morning kinda puts me on timeline to unemployment for one more thing to worry about.
I’m so fucking fucked.

Woke up at 3am with my entire leg just throbbing & could hardly walk to the bathroom to pee.
Finally fell back to sleep at 4. Up & out of bed at 730. Leg feels better now than it did at 3am. So weird.

#WinterOlympics Watching the women’s 15k individual Biathlon. Amazed at being able to calm the body & breathing down enough from skiing to ding 5 little targets with a rifle
So dope.

Tomorrow makes it three weeks since the injury. Getting a sock on the left foot this morning was easier than it’s been. However, getting a shoe on & laced up was difficult & painful. Blah.

Not to continue to complain about the injured leg but you may not realized how difficult it is to get socks & pants on when one leg is painful to bend. Ouch!

Welp, I hobbled into the kitchen to make morning coffee, after nearly breaking a sweat just putting a sock on & noticed on the counter the little row of Tylenol pills I intend to take with dinner last night. Oops.
Being injured is fun.

Welp, the leg issue that laying the bike down during Tuesday’s #biketoworkKC created means no #fixedgearFriday for me this week. #bummersville

The weirdest & possibly worst part of being injured is the sudden wave of depression that occasionally hits because you can’t do what you would normally do because of injuries. #bicyclecrashblues

Wiped out during Tuesday’s #biketoworkKC
This morning no visible bruising yet but my left thigh looks bigger than the right. Suspect some deep internal muscle brushing.
Amazing the problems a earbuds case in your pocket can cause when you fall on it.
Hooray for PTO

Out of the house for the first time of this 3 day weekend and irritated with myself. Was warmer on the ride to #MondayRitual than I’ve been for 2 days on the #tinycouch

It’s 12°F outside & I’m not real sure what to do with myself. Been sitting in this apartment for 2 days already. Going for a ride sounds great except this temperature has me hesitate. Movie & the spin bike? #MondaysOff

Brought home new brake pads for the #fatbike yesterday. Realized today I only verified the part number on the first of the 2 boxes grabbed from the pile. One set is better than no sets, I guess.

Speaking of the cold in #KansasCity it will be colder tomorrow, Saturday, and potentially snowy. So the boss decided to not be open.

Holy moly! That was a cold #fixedgearFriday edition of #biketoworkKC
Probably wouldn’t have felt as bad if there wasnt that strong north wind.

Winter cycling tip: Don’t forget when you make a brief stop at a coffee shop (or wherever) to unzip your layers to “cool off” a bit before going inside to start sweating in your base layers making going back outside feel colder.

At #MondayRitual
Me; I did ride 12 miles on the trainer today.
Them: Don’t understand why you do that. You already ride everyday to work.
Me: It’s a day off, it’s cold outside, needed something to do & one can only masturbate so much.

The US is being terrorized by a domestic terror organization called ICE.
They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far.
We are being terrorized by the US government and what you have to do first is acknowledge it.
