An off day is not the same thing as a day off. The latter indicates, or at least implies, deliberate planning.

The latter — well, it happens to all of us sometimes. We haven\’t planned the day off; but we\’re tired; would rather keep on sleeping; and just aren\’t in the mood for a ride.

Like me today.  At 7 am it was overcast. According to the forecast, T-storms were possible from 10 am. That rather worried me. I decided to ride over to the park, and do some laps.

Before I had completed the first circuit, it seemed to be getting darker; so I decided to head back home. By the time I got there, the sun was coming out! It\’s very annoying when I make the wrong call like that.

It was already in the upper 70s early this morning, so I wore a cycling jersey for the first time this year. I was surprised at how cool my arms felt. We can thank the wind for that. The wind, in fact, is one of the reasons I chose to ride in the park. I didn\’t feel like fighting it for miles on the way home.

So here I am, with a couple of extra hours. What shall I do with them? Cooking is out; after making the junk soup yesterday, the freezer is crammed again. There are always blogs to be composed, but sometimes my brain wears out and says, No More.

No need to panic, though. We all have an off day sometimes.
