The last couple of weeks have been a mess. Last week was a work trip and I only put in two round trip rides. My truck, dropped off that Monday, stayed in the transmission shop for two full work weeks, four days over estimate, so this week I rode all four days. Thursday there was at least a possibility it would be released so I rode my seldom-used roadie bike so I could retrieve it, but it was a false alarm. Finally returned this afternoon, a day off.

Tomorrow my twins turn three.

The next couple weeks are equally messy but not in a way that's going to make riding easier. Our nanny quit, with plenty of warning, but we still have yet to line up a replacement. So my kids are going to drop-in daycare 2-3 afternoons a week until we deal with that. I'll be the one to pick them up, and that means the truck. I've also got my ICD replacement the 3rd and we have a family trip mid-February.
