Weird week weird post...sure.

After talking to some family members who keep up, I've decided perhaps I should mention a few things other than bikes haha...

So I'll try, but the crazy thing about cycling is it's just a whole different world! I was reading a blog of an acquaintance who said bikes have a magical power of letting you "experience the world first hand in a way that can only be felt while powering yourself on a bike."...thus the obsession :)

Anyway, this week was a little strange. I think I was a little overtrained (which is what happens when your body doesn't have time to recover...has weird and miserable side-effects) so everything just seemed a little off. But, I had to get things done, so I did a little of that. Met with my carryover client from last semester whom I really enjoy and missed. (On a side note, I think I'd really like to work with teenagers someday) Went to classes...without books yet...I think somedays I'm a little too laid back in some areas for my own good. ah well! And then did a grown up thing and got new tires and an oil change. At which point I also decided I don't think I like being a grown-up.

To end the week I visited Manhattan, Ks. for a wedding of a good friend from high school. And yes, I was reminded again of how glad I am I'm still single. lol Not that everyone I know who's married shouldn't be, don't get me wrong, that's great...I just like that I still do things like not buy my books for classes and things ;)

So weird week, but hopefully this one will click a little better...and, dare I say, maybe I'll get a little more rest? Nah!

colds and coldness

well its a new year and i have a new cold. go figure. i'm going to start taking vitamins asap. apparently another effect of having low blood pressure is having a really low immunity to illness. i love being special lol

the good news is i've started working at the city rec pool again, so my job is uber laid back, my hours are always the same and its and nice and warm :) school starts next week (blek) and i will be starting my intership...somewhere...my advisor is a little slow about these things. anywho, i'm excited about having an almost job! course, i'm going to be terribly busy, but bikes will relieve the stress!

speaking of bikes, this snow and ice is making me stir crazy! spin class just doesn't compare to the great outdoors, although it does keep me strong. the last time i rode gravel was with renee. we headed south to olpe with the temp in the 40s and a 30mph wind coming from the south. took us over an hour to get there but only 20 minutes to get back!

the other day a bunch of us were sitting at java cat just going on and on about our bikes and the new things we're planning for them. i think the poor new guy was pretty bored lol but its the only thing we can do at the moment. on that note, i just ordered yellow cables for the cobia...gotta keep her happy while she just sits in the apartment waiting :)

well i'm off to walgreens and redbox to cure my illness!
