rack

Random Friday, Ver. 55

1) Bike-less

I kindliness I’d be able to tell you that my sister and I woke up antediluvian this morning and went for a bike ride — but alas, that isn’t the lawsuit. I was able to put the bike rack on the trunk by myself last night, but when I lifted the bike itself onto the rack and strapped it on, it just now didn’t feel sturdy enough to take on a 100 mile one-way excursion. The bike didn’t move at all when it was put on the car for the first time, right after I bought it, and if I couldn’t reproduce that I felt like I shouldn’t take it on such a long boob.

This is an example of how rare it is for me to get home and veg on the couch — Jen the moment that wanted to know if I was okay. She knows my universal routine is to get dressed in my running clothes, or to take over my computer, or at least start cleaning the dirty dishes I’ve brought hospice with me. Zan in front of the TV? Not so much. I assured her I would be okay shortly, and indeed, I watched the last half of the fact show and went on about my evening.
