I know it's not here to stay but it was a glorious day none the less. It was 9 degrees when I left and had climbed to 12 by the time I got back. I know that riding on the trainer is actually good for you from a training perspective but decidedly not so good for your head. It just felt so glorious. At one point I specifically remember thinking that I felt happy, and then quickly wondered if it was okay do to so. The old guilt problem I guess. But not to worry. When I got home I checked with Claudette and she emphatically ensured me that feeling happy was acceptable.
Spring arrived in another glorious form today with the return of my dear big sister Cory. (see yesterdays comments) Welcome back Grandma! Of course she started right into me with the abuse, but even that I welcome. And I promise that in the future I will respond to all of your questions Cory. Let me start by telling you that I want socks!! I don't want no freaking home sewn towels that they aren't gonna let me wear anyway. Please just go to the Winners where Elly guarantees they got 100% cotton socks, and deliver those. Elly seems to be ignoring me, the bitch!
Oh and I'm curious. Did you download Google Chrome or did you figure it out with Explorer?
I am currently reading 'A tale of two Cities' by Charles Dickens. If anyone ever thinks they have any talent for writing they should first spend a little time with this book. I find it simultaneously humbling and inspiring. Today I came across these few words describing a scene in a bar in an impoverished neighbour in Paris.
"Madame Defarge sat in her seat presiding over the distribution of wine, with a bowl of battered coins before her, as much defaced and beaten out of their original impress as the small coinage of humanity from whose ragged pockets they had come"
Blows me away!!
I also had a decent swim this morning and combined with my bike ride I think I got my mojo back!

Glad to here you got some training done outside, my dear friend. The good weather can do wonders for the soul. Like a breath of fresh air. the rest of the week should be good too....temp wise for sure.
ReplyDeletewell you could have responded before I went and bought the towels! And you will be sorry cause the cotton socks Im gonna get you wont keep your feet warm. But thats what you're getting!! And probably no one told you that Elly managed to fall down her stairs (drunk again) and severely injure her foot, and has been hobbling around in an air cast for several weeks. And then she was whining about severe bronchitis or pneumonia or something (her excuse for falling down the stairs) but you're right, she is a bitch. I'll talk to her but I don't expect it will help much. She's been that way since she was 4!!
ReplyDeleteshut the fuck up, both of you! Winners is out of cotton and wool socks, which I wanted for inside my cast. I thought about going downtown where I got my cast to see if they had cotton ones there, but I guess Cory will go instead!!! love you...
