Which makes me feel real good, since I am almost 50.
It's little things like that, that make biking worth it...don't ya think?!?
that would give me the perma-grin for at least a day.
haven't commuted at all this week, since it seems like god did get me for last week's foolishment. the lurking Disease came down with full force on sunday evening and got me sent home again halfway through monday. i'm so sick of myself, i just got home from doing a couple of slight-uphill miles to the grocery store. may have been a mistake, but i wanted to see:
a) what it's like to bike in the dark
b) what it's like to bike in the rain
c) whether i'm better
d) whether i'm better enough to commute again tomorrow.
seemed like a good idea, but it may have been an awful mistake. it seems like some part of me would rather be really sick than slightly sick. i just hate this feeling-slightly-awful thing that leaves you conscious enough to be frustrated with the whole deal. but even if it was a mistake, at least i did find out some of the biking stuff i wanted to know. rain's a lot colder when you get a good windchill going, i learned that much.
