Yesterday I was a zombie, getting up early and then working a full day had it’s toll on me. I ended up falling asleep at 8pm upon coming home from a full day of bike mechanics after my presunrise bike deliveries.  At the shop I was on my game and busted out a lot of work, feeling uber productive.

Today I woke up feeling sick as a dog, debated calling out at 5am but who does that to their boss? Not this guy, it’s only 1 hr of pedaling I can do it no matter what. I’m that stubborn. I even shaved 10 minutes off my time, I’m thinking of taking a few different streets and seeing how it affects me, long way no hills vs short way with hills.  At the bike shop I was just off all day. From before I even got there I felt feverish, vomitish, and generally blah. Sweats, stomach grumbles, and dizziness. My mechanic ability ego took a nice reality check when I ended up making more work for myself, stripping bolts, fraying cables, and doing things the long hard way instead of the quick simple way. Tomorrow should be better, right?

And since it’s already all over facebook, might as well be here. I gave my lovely Heather her engagement ring tonight, afterawards we had dinner at Grasshopper in Allston and now I’m ready to pass out from exhaustion.
