How Was Your Commute Today?

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!

That sounds like an awful commute! My worst bike ride ever was when I had a migraine, and it was a really, really low level one. I can't imagine riding with an aura. Hugs to you, and I hope you feel better already!

oooh ow. Sorry about the migraine.
One time (and only one time) I rode as stoker on the tandem while coming on to a migraine. I felt nauseous and kept dodging imaginary things that were flying at me. Horrible.

Today's commute was cold, pleasant, uneventful. Work was even ok. All the cats were away and it was pretty nice for us mice.

Oicks. I've planned a detour commute today, riding in the wrong direction for half an hour before joining up with two colleagues to follow the river down towards town. So I'm up early - it's pitch black out and I have no front lights. Baaad planning. Gotta go find a blinky.
