mucus

riding didn't make the bronchitis worse but it certainly hasn't made riding any easier. no crippling antibiotics, just a good cough med and some other bits to help with breathing. a lingering cloud in my head, from the codeine i guess. not the best way to wake up but it did clear me for sleep. 8 hours, holy shit! the sky still lacks the signs of the octopus, maybe that's a late summer thing. no inky glow that i wake up to see. maybe we are too close to the solstice for the good colors in the sky. maybe i'll do an earlier ride next week, start at 4.30 and see what is out there then. i hope the extra hour is enough to see what i can't see now.
