It’s seems appropriate to give my legs a rest after yesterday’s ride so no bicycle commuting today. I’m not thrilled about taking the train but there’s a side benefit to this decision that is working out quite nicely.

I get to enjoy two cups of Vanilla Macadamia Nut Kona Coffee this morning on an empty stomach without threat of nausea. Pardon me while I mop up the slobber. It’s really delicious and the caffeine is hitting hard especially since I didn’t drink any coffee yesterday. Can you say “Buzzzz!”?

Speaking of coffee, I’ve tested cutting back my consumption before bike commuting and eating a little breakfast to help with the nausea. Toast with butter and jam or a yogurt have helped but haven’t really solved the problem. The nausea just got replaced with burpiness(apologies for TMI). So I have a new solution.

I’m going to start having coffee after I get to the office. I bought an inexpensive coffee maker on eBay which has already arrived. Now I just need to take filters, my coffee, and some sugar up to work. I can keep those in my office to avoid any mysterious disappearances, not sure what to do about cream. It’ll have to go into a shared fridge in the office pantry, hopefully if I put my initials on it no one will take any without asking.

Time will tell if this works out better for me. Perhaps a banana or yogurt at home will be all the energy I need to make it to work on my bike. It’s probably a safe assumption since I did 55 miles yesterday with nary a drop of coffee or any nausea. As for today, I’m gonna savor this last cup o’joe and try to keep the buzz from popping my head off.
