Today sucked. Coudn't get out of bed, no energy, no motivation. I think I lost my blinkie on my crash yesterday and that took 30 min. for hunting around to no avail. But I risked it anway since 80% of my ride is on the MUP.

Some idiot on a scooter that pulled up to the T intersection with stopping completely. Dude looked behind him, looked down at his feet (wtf?) and then looks in the opposite direction of the perpendicular part of the intersection out to some field and then damn near T-boned me. I had kind of anticipated it and was saying out loud "Take a look.. take a look" when I first saw him pull up not looking and I was first entering the intersection. I then I was standing trying to get up to speed and dude luckily swerved in the opposite direction of me. I yelled a few things about the stop sign and taking a look, etc.

The rest of the commute was uneventful and uninspired. But mentally, it was a bit of a breakthrough because I never wished being anywhere else or got apathetic about the whole uninspired ride. I just kept pedaling.
