I also messed up by not doing anything to prepare except put my bike rack, and bike on my car. so the morning of, I had to pack for my usual day meaning gym clothes and lunch vitamins etc., but also had to pack my bike bag, lights, computer, water bottles, clothes to ride home in etc. I knew I could put together clothes to ride in but I had to put them in a pile at home so I knew they were all set. then I had to pack a bag of work clothes (plus shower and personal grooming stuff) for that 2nd day where I rode in to the office (and drove to the gym for the washup). stupidly I packed shoes, forgetting that I would be leaving shoes at the office when I biked home. then I had to pack a bag of gym clothes for the 2nd day, cuz that's what I do at lunchtime everyday. but I have a series of vitamins and prescriptions that I take at various times throughout the day. figuring out what I needed when and where was a head scratcher as I was hurrying for work that first morning. I wound up putting a small apartment's worth of cr*p in my car and fortunately remembered to leave the bare minimum meds at home for that 2nd morning. couldn't get to sleep early the 1st night, so getting up at 3 to leave at 5 was hard (and unnecessary). then there was the heat. anyway by time I got home the 2nd day with my car and bike and hauled everything back into the house, including the bike and bike rack I was suitably done for a while. everything worked out and no one at work even suspected anything cuz I walked thru the door at the usual time looking like I usually do. driving in, biking home, then biking in and driving home, combined with prep for two days at the gym, and keeping nothing in my office, planned pretty much the morning I decided I was gonna do it, helped add to the stress and confusion. it was kinda funny tho and it was all Wifey could do to not laugh her a*s off as I walked in that second evening. two loads of laundry later, was left wondering how the heck can this ever become routine
