But wait!
It has come to my attention that in this drawn out COVID recovery mode I now occupy, it becomes difficult to distinguish between 'taking it slowly'' and simple laziness.

It is quite liberating to at least tell myself I have nothing more to fear, personally, from this pandemic. Come Monday I will stroll confidently into shops in the downtown business district of Merida, that I have been avoiding for the most part for the past two years.

Oof - 1800 per day would have me cranky as all get-out. Since I wear a tracker, I shoot for a 750cal deficit per day. As long as I get in at least a light fake ride, that puts my budget in the 2200 region.

My brother is a troll on MAGA and conspiracy fora. Very unhealthy and destructive to his sanity and the polity’s, IMO. LSS is actually to the left of me on some issues, but much less emotionally affected and, unlike certain less decent people, does not find rage rewarding. She long ago raised a prohibition against ranting.
After our exchange I was left with a feeling of dread. We were close at one time.

Zwift ride was fine. There was some lively chatter on Discord and enough riders for me to find a couple small groups that were at/near my desired pace. I lasted 90 minutes which is not too bad for fake miles.

Friend says he's riding today, first time in over 3 weeks. He finally called me last night. I was worried about him because I know he's suffered with depression before, as a lot of us have, but I don't know how to help. All I can do is try and get him out on the bike so I guess we'll see if he feels like talking. Another friend advised me to not give up on him but if he won't answer calls or e-mails it's tough. I thought about dropping by his house last week but if he wants to be alone that might not be good. Hoping he shows up today and spills it.

I've spent years lurking on Twitter without signing up. I figure it kept me from engaging and wasting time, as a friend put it, "Wrassling Pigs" - you just get filthy and the pig enjoys it.
Then Twitter started making it harder and harder to simply follow Twitter without signing up, so I finally signed up last week, but I still don't engage.

I did the 8th stage of TdZ last night. I did the shorter ride, since I have the monthly SF Peninsula C&V ride today. New York. I really don't like the New York world on Zwift. It's hard to get a rhythm, because of the frequent, seemingly gratuitous gradient changes. BUT I managed, somehow. I felt pretty good about it, because I started out by drifting backwards through the pack till I was about 170th out of 322, but then started passing people as they blew up, and ended up about 120th. Sure, I know, it's not a race. But it is competitive. And it's kind of fun, with a big, heavy avatar, pushing past skinnier ones on the climbs.

So I got my Garmin 530. Recall the main reason I got it is the crappy battery life on the 130. All I want from a computer is a battery that won’t crap out in 3 hours, will give me turn by turn directions from a preloaded route, and display info from my Varia RTL 510.
For unknown reasons the 530 will not pair with (or recognize) the varia. When I have it search all sensors, it only sees my Kickr Snap which is far away in the basement. It does not see the varia which is right next to it. Advice??
