Overload 🛒
Some days feel like overload, even when you don’t have a set of heavy panniers attached to your bicycle. Such was today.
I bicycled to a doctor’s appointment; and it wasn’t a pleasant ride. It was 50 degrees at most; and I had a nasty, stiff headwind for most of the way. It was misting as well; and my nose didn’t enjoy it at all. To make it even worse, I forgot to take along a handkerchief! Things actually got quite disgusting.
Better Tomorrow 🗓️
Things will be better tomorrow, I hope! Today got a bit hectic.
It wasn’t only the consultation with the doctor, as it turned out. I didn’t anticipate being sent to the lab for blood work; nor for X-rays. This was my first visit with this particular rheumatologist; and they wanted to get a baseline on me. Adding all that to the office visit seemed like a lot of overload!
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic condition; and we need to be able to gauge whether there’s any progression. So far, the only symptom I’ve had is one swollen knuckle. RA had better not mess up my knees; or I might not be able to ride any longer.
It was already late morning when I got home; and I had to run an errand. I haven’t done any more riding today; and I hope I can get in some good miles tomorrow! It looks like the weather will be better tomorrow, too. Maybe I can hit the farmers market? 🥕🥬

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
