Right now it's looking like I'm going to have to bail on the Tour de Madison. My thyroid meds are off, and on top of the lethargy I'm feeling from that I haven't slept for several nights. So I'm thinking that I may not be up for driving a couple of hours to do a 25 mile ride, since I doubt I'll be able to do more than that. There's so much I need to do in the yard and around the house (blew out a ceiling fan so I need to replace it, for one thing) that I'm thinking I should just stay home.

Can you tell I'm trying to talk myself out of this ride? I really want to do it, but I just don't think I can. Dang it.

Looking forward to meeting you some other time, IFJane. Have a nice ride!
