Back from the AIDS ride!
A BIG hug and THANK YOU for the support and encouragement! The ride raised a record-breaking $11 million for AIDS education and prevention programs and I had an awesome time. There were definitely days I thought I would keel over (mainly because I was still sick!) but thankfully made it through without any serious mishap. In the past two days, really simple things like waking up in a warm dry bed, resting my head on a pillow, taking a hot bath, using a flush toilet, and wearing clean clothes feel *500 TIMES* better than they ever have! it’s amazing. also, I now know that certain padded shorts are definitely better than others (even though they all look the same) and can *literally* save your ass.
