Worked at home, then biked to the bowling alley to pre-bowl for tonight's League game. We don't like to be up that late, so we're going to pre-bowl every game! We'd decided I'd ride home with my husband, but I remembered on the way that I had taken the bike rack off the car for the trip to Lawrence this weekend, and hadn't put it back yet. So he got to stop at the grocery store by himself and pick up feminine supplies for daughter, poor guy. And I biked home. And got back to work!

Actually yesterday's drive took a lot out of me. My daughter & I went to my mom's to help her cook & clean after her hand surgery. On the way home, we were stuck in a traffic jam on I-70 for TWO HOURS. Well, better the traffic jam than the cause: 30-car pile-ups on BOTH SIDES of the highway! When we finally got out of it, the snow was coming down thick, and visibility was horrible. We nearly got a hotel right there, 20 miles from my mom's, but decided to press on home and "keep an open mind about stopping" (as my daughter advised).

I got a good night's rest but I've felt exhausted all day nonetheless. I keep hopping up to do some light exercise hoping it will energize me (yoga, Wii Fit). It does, for a little while.

It's just funny how driving a car in stressful conditions can take so much out of me, but I feel great the day after a long bike trip.
