Wednesday: How Are You Moving Today?

So, I skipped my morning bike ride because, well, I did something stupid last night.  I gave blood yesterday afternoon without any problems and thus decided that an evening bike ride would be OK despite the admonition to avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours.  I actually felt fine on the bike ride, but then I felt lightheaded every time I stood up after I got home.  I drank some extra fluids in an attempt to get my blood volume back up, which I assume was the problem last night.  If it wasn't a blood volume problem, my other working theory is that I might have been bumfuzzled from having my attractive thirty-something hairstylist flirt with me the whole time I was getting my hair cut after donating blood.  At first I thought she was just one of those touchy-feely kind of people, but she didn't behave the same way at all with the next guy who had been waiting to get his hair cut and I am not completely oblivious to verbal and non-verbal cues when someone wants you to know that they are available.  Yikes!  Unexpected female attention still flusters me, so maybe I just don't handle it very well yet.  Anyway, I feel fine now and look forward to a lunch time walk.  How are you planning to move today?

I did end up walking about 4 miles at lunch time today.  No problems with lightheadedness!

Many, many trips to the printer at work today due to a HUGE project and a short timeline. Then I'll try to get out and do some yard work and laundry. If my energy holds out, I'll take a nice long walk in the evening.
