Don't worry, it's all water weight

I went back to work yesterday, one week after going all smashy-smashy to a vertebra. At no point did the pain slow me down, though I did lay down a couple of times to make sure it didn't get too nuts.

No, the main problem was the heat. It was hot as fook in the store yesterday. Combine that with activity and a foam/plastic turtle shell, and we're sweating, baby! I brought an extra shirt, just in case it did get a bit warm. Luckily, some shirts I ordered last week came in yesterday, too. Because I needed one of them to get through.

Three shirts. Yuck. And being hot is bad, but being wet and chafy and hot is way, way worse. So I'm going to pack up a few more shirts today and hope for cooler weather. We could really use a thunderstorm.

Uh oh -- time to go. It takes about twice as long to get going now.

Squeeky Cheeks works wonders for chafing Bryan (and it has a great name)! Pete found it for me a few years ago when I did my 60 mile walk. Hope you are feeling better -- and cooler -- soon!

You should just get some Axe antiperspirant spray and dunk yourself in it.

Sure, you'd smell like a high school dance. But you wouldn't be sweaty.

jenni -- noted. I may look into that. Like, today.

sean -- Who wouldn't want to buy a bike from a high school dance? I'll look into that, too.
