    To disable ads, please log-in.

    anyone else suffering from this illness???

    They replay the "extended coverage" at 9pm in CA... which means I've been up every night until 11:30 or so... YAWN...

    I had court this morning... good thing there was a Starbucks on the way...

    sssshhhh

    Because of the nature of my job, I have a tv in my office and yes, it gets OLN. So I've been watching live from 8:30-10:30 or so. But hey, I'm DOING PAPERWORK, ok??

    Bikerchick - I must have missed something - are you an attorney? If so, where do you work?? I practiced in San Diego for 5 years before we moved up here.

    And, yes, I have the tour sleep deprivation, too, but mine is from getting up early to watch it live.

    lol! nope! i record (pvr) the live good version at 5:30.... watch that after work (now)... record the enhanced version at 5 or 6... whichever time it starts (satelite rocks!) and FF through all but the enhanced stuff... best thing... NO ALL TROUT! (or very little!) the morning version with phil and paul is much better and much easier on the ears!

    no, but I do watch what I can before work, then, if I am still home for the midday showing, watch that, then watch the evening one when I can. OLN is the only channel on my tv that has been on.

    I am on coumadin and lovenox (injected). Actually today I feel great, thanks! Yesterday and the day before were TERRIBLE and I ended up back in the ER Tuesday with severe chest pains. CT scan was good and this was "just" pleurisy. Hurt more than anything.

    Today I feel like I could do the Death Ride. But I know if I did. SK would kill me, so I won't!

    Edit - and I do litigation. Construction mostly. Trying to shift things and do mediations.

    i've been hitting the DVR on both the first coverage 4:30 alaska time, and the 8 pm one too. i really don't know what i'd do without the DVR.

    i'm not as lucky as some to have it in my office.

    Alarm at 6:10, coffee makin' at 6:12 and I'm on the computer reading the cycling news and Tour Day Schmalz (if he's updated it).

    I end up RUSHING to get to work on time, but I'm happy!

    Yawn - we got home at 11pm yesterday (the hubby has been announcing at the Velodrome on Wednesdays), but we had to watch the tour (love that Tivo!). Suprisingly I'm not too sleepy today - as I currently watch the tour....
