Good morning! 😀
I have this feeling of well… limbo.
Limbo: A region or condition of oblivion or neglect: Management kept her promotion in limbo for months.
A state or place of confinement.
An intermediate place or state
What has brought this on?
Well normally after a big bike ride like I just had this past weekend I would be flooding you with information and pictures. Day one of the ride (Saturday) was stormy and we rode about 5 hours of the 75 miles in the rain – hard rain. By pit stop one (10 miles into the ride) my camera had taken in moisture and was not working. No camera… no pictures.
SO I am telling you just a wee bit about the ride now as I believe pictures will start getting posted on Facebook and I will be able to find some so you can see how truly soaked we were. It is the first time I rode through hard rain. Wet, cold…. but only 4 riders dropped out and I was not going to be one of them.
Camp as always was beautiful and by that time the sun was out and when we rode in although we were muddy…. we were pretty dry.
The rest of the afternoon I hung out with friends catching up on lives, and then we had a wonderful dinner, camp fire – and bed by 9:30 pm so we could get up and ride 75 miles back on Sunday, which was a really nice day to ride. Not too hot.
I had no incidents. No falls. No nothing. 😛 I believe as a team there were 10 flat tires, and one pulled tendon which involved a trip to the hospital, but all is well now between the bikes and the riders. 😀
That’s limbo #1.
Limbo #2 is that I feel really behind in my reading. The weekend was a bust for book moments as I picked up my book Saturday evening and fell asleep before I read one page. Sunday evening came home after dinner was downstairs trying to read while Al (hubby) watched tv and I fell asleep again.
At this time I have book club tonight (our 10th Anniversary party!!!!) and I have not finished the book because I keep falling asleep. 😛
So there you have it. No pics to show, no books to review… AND
Limbo #3, I hardly got around to any of the Monday What Are You Reading participants yesterday as I worked all day, followed immediately by a 3 hour meeting for the upcoming camp dates, and then came home, made dinner, picked up my book….
and yup – you guessed it…. promptly fell asleep.
(Really – it is not the book…. it is me). 😀

I’m exhausted just reading about what you’ve been doing!
LOL – I am just wining Kathy – this will pass 😀
Sometimes I feel like I’ve spent half my life in limbo, so I’m quite familiar with the feeling. Your body is trying to tell you something – I need rest!
I know… but there is so much to do Barb 😀
Yes, I’m thinking that you need a break from some of those activities…to sleep, for one thing, and then to just veg out. Do you give yourself permission to just…BE? LOL
I knew you must have been really exhausted when you only posted a partial Monday It’s Reading on Sunday….that’s never happened before, not even when you had only one hand with which to type.
So…your body is telling you something…right???
I bet you think I’m sounding like a mother here…LOL
After Wednesday things will slow a little bit Laurel 😀
And yes… you do sound like a mom. 😛
We are all in agreement Sheila! You need rest! I’ve been there, working hard, helping with a non-profit group and trying to be a mom and wife full-time. It is draining. You need a good relaxing weekend with lots of….you guessed it….REST!
LOL Shirley…. I have to look back through comments… were you not the one that also egged me on about the Harry Potter song vlog? LOL
😛
These things happen to all of us at times. With all that you’ve had going on, especially with healing your hand, you probably just need more rest than normal. I smiled when you said you’ve never biked in a hard rain before. I live in Oregon, so biking here pretty much requires riding in hard rain at some point. I don’t mind the rain so much, but biking in traffic terrifies me, which is why I only ride the stationary bike.
I am less afraid of the traffic than I am the rain. 😀 The road bike tires are so slim I worry about them slipping in the wetness..
I’ve never had to ride my bike in a really hard rain either, which is surprising since I live in Florida and we have a rainy season where it can rain anytime, day or night, even out of the blue when the sun is shining.
I usually fall asleep at night watching tv, wake up a few hours later and go to bed to read. Since I just had a “nap”, I can usually read for quite a few hours before falling back to sleep.
I am a late night reader so with out the late night “happening” I am at all a loss for book time. 😀
Later this week should be better… 😀
I can totally understand why you’re tired!!! Whew..I would be too, heck I’m tired just reading about it!!!
LOL – it was so much fun and the people energize me Staci 😀
Six weeks since your arm has been in plaster I read here today well I know the weeks fly by but I was surprised at that! Maybe it has seemed for ever to you though! I am not surprised you are feeling wiped out at the moment, Take Care.
It did… it really did…. I was so glad to be free of that cast 😀
Sheila…If only I had your energy! I would be tired too, dear.
LOL – I do like to live life to the fullest Alison 😀
I think your body & brain is telling you they need a rest! 😀
I’ve done 2 short (but very hilly) bike rides this week, so hoping to keep motivated.
LOL Nikki Ann… maybe my body…. its the brain that is a little slow… 😛
I do believe there’s no such thing as limbo when you can boast that you rode 150 miles over the weekend. :-b
Thanks Jill 😀
