I think I\’m under the weather, because I feel a bit like this frowny face right now.

At 7:25 am, I was surprised that the sun was out. In a half-hour or so it was overcast again. But rain wasn\’t expected for several hours; so I ran the errand that I skipped yesterday because of predicted rain. Then it didn\’t rain yesterday, after all. I could have gone out!

Once back home, I decided to head for the park on my road bike before conditions got worse. The wind was already pretty strong, so I didn\’t want to go on the levee. Before I was halfway to the park, it had begun misting. Then the mist seemed to be turning onto drizzle, which I thought meant that it would start pouring any moment; so I went back home. Shortly after I got there, the wind began to strengthen.

A hour or so later it still wasn\’t raining, although the wind kept getting stronger. Now my legs are itching to move; but it isn\’t a good time to go out on a bicycle. The wind is blowing at 28 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph. I\’m on tenterhooks, still expecting it to pour.

We\’re currently under a wind advisory. In addition, we\’re under a tornado watch and a flash flood watch. Despite my wanting to jump on that road bike and get in some more miles, it would probably be the better part of wisdom to stay home. But wisdom or not, it makes me feel under the weather.

Maybe I\’ll set up the bike in the trainer, once my lunch settles. I don\’t count such \”miles\”; but at least my legs get to move. It helps that frowny face to cheer up a little!
