I was a sleepyhead again this morning! It drives me crazy when I fall back asleep and don’t have time to go for a ride.

Well, OK, I could have squeezed in a short ride by frantically rushing myself. I decided to wait until after work to ride. I’m glad the temperature won’t be in the 90s this afternoon!

Oversleeping isn’t my only complaint today. My hybrid has a flat tire; and I can’t ride to work until I get it fixed. I don’t quite dare to try fixing it myself because of tendonitits in my left thumb.

That was too much on my mind, in fact. On those sleepyhead mornings when I shut off the alarm and fall back asleep, I dream. I dreamed about checking that tire to see why it went flat. I also dreamed about sitting in a lecture, and taking notes in German! Never mind that the lecture was in English.

Some people might wonder, why don’t I put the alarm clock on the other side of the room? Then I have to get up to shut the thing off. This is why: if I fly out of bed like a rocket, I go staggering all over the place. I might even land on the floor!

But now I have to get ready to go to work. Tuesday morning means on-site. I wish I could continue remote work full-time. It’s much easier!

7 pm addendum: I got the hybrid’s tire fixed. As I thought, the valve had torn away from the tube. I decided not to try going out on the road bike. I had 5-6 weeks’ worth of ride data to enter into my “big log”; dishes to wash; and I was tired out, anyway. Maybe that’s what drove me to a candy binge!
