Summary from a few days (my laptop died and the computers at work are getting so slow that it takes 10 minutes to close a window):

Tuesday, I rode down to the daycare with the trailer to pick up my daughter. I got there and realized that I forgot my helmet. I turned around and went back home. As I was getting close the house end of the driveway, the leaves underneath my wheel start sliding along with me. I, of course, ended up with a scratched palm and a bruised knee. My bike ended up with a bent fender support, a bent bell, and the left brake pushed out of place. I then rode back down to the daycare and again back up close to our house to the polling station, then back to the house. My brother got 20% of the vote for his run for a city council seat ... not bad for a 22-year old.

Yesterday's ride wasn't bad at all. I'm glad I bought gloves on the way in to work because I needed them on the way home.

Today was cool on the way in but there was no happy medium between layers on a layers off. I went with being a little warm and put the layers on. It should be freezing or sub-freezing-point temperatures on the way home in the morning.
