When it rains, it pours

My cast came off Wednesday morning.  I now wear a smaller, removable splint, which I am allowed to remove if I need.   I do take it off at least  four times a day, three times for thumb exercises, one time for showering.

But, I have done no exercise since Wednesday.   Part reason is that Wed. I stayed up 'til 1-2 am.  Crazy.  Had a lot to do Wednesday night and indulged in chatting with family and watching TV until too late.  So, Thursday after work when I should exercise, I could not muster the effort.

Friday after work, no exercise, expecting to ride in the am, or pedal anyway.

My brother is emphasizing that we need to purchase plane tickets.  I can understand, I want to see what the Alps look like and enjoy French food.  I also want to tack a trip to Turkey onto the end of the France trip.   Need to convince my brother that'd be a good trip.
