A Not-So-Good Day

Today wasn't the best.  I started having a headache right after I got out of bed and have been what I can ony imagine are hot flashes all day long.  My mood wasn't the best because I hardly slept at all last night due to a combination of breathing issues and the sex-driven quails that live out here (bet you thought they were quiet like we did...nope. They really like the first one of these clips).  I've been getting more and more sore in my pelvis over the last couple of weeks, and it got to the point in our ride today where I had to stop and go home, making for only a 10 mile ride.  I think it's a combination of where I am in my "cycle" (yay!) and the improper fit on my old Capri, which is far to big for me, but whatever it is, I am not doing so well.

It can be tough for me sometimes to rally from days like this.  Tomorrow, it will probably be difficult for me to not sit on the couch all day or eat everything in the house.  It will probably be even harder to keep my mood elevated and not snap at my friends and family...however, knowing that I am struggling is always half the battle for me.  I just have to remind myself of the great things in my life at this very moment and how much I have to look forward to; thinking about spending time with my family, friends, and dogs always cheers me up and gives me the motivation to work hard!

Oh, and for my friends who read this blog...you're going to hear even less from me when that new bike shows up.  Cut me some slack for a week or so if you could :)  After that, you can tell me to stop being a jerk.
