I've been commuting long enough that it's been a while since I had a challenging commute. Today was a challenging commute. Yesterday I developed a UTI, and I couldn't get the antibiotics until today. In the meantime I used pyridiate (the stuff that turns your pee orange). This morning when I got up super early to go do the rats, I forgot that taking pyridiate on an empty stomach makes me nauseous.

It was a real struggle to bike to work without throwing up.

And then the nausea cleared up and an uber migraine hit which won't go away. This is the longest and 2nd worst migraine I've ever had. My migraines come with an aura, meaning I lose my vision. So I did not bike home but called for a ride. While it's fun to close my eyes and ride a little ways, I did not want to truly take on the challenge of riding blind!
