My left hand currently has a freezie sitting on it because I got a burn at work and it's the only form of ice I have in the house, so I'm writing this post with my right hand. Not that it's exciting news or anything, since it means I will have to wear a glove on that hand for my next shift if it doesn't heal by then. It has until Friday at 5 p.m. to heal adequately. And the gloves at work are dreadful, too...
Mind you, they used to give us those god-awful gloves with powder that is supposed to be an antiperspirant but actually forms a paste with your sweat. I was glad to see them go.
My life has become so much easier now that I have my bike. My legs might just get as strong as they were in high school. I was able to leg press 395 lbs - pretty damn impressive for someone who weighs just over 100. It's too bad most hard physical tasks hardly involve the legs at all, and the few sports that involve the legs more than the arms require lots of running and I'm asthmatic. It's much more convenient than the bus and the lock I got for it is pretty badass. It's long enough to fit through both tires and the cable is braided and coated in a thick layer of nylon. It was $30 after tax (on sale) but I figured that's cheaper than buying a shitty lock and then having to buy a new bike and a better lock when it fails.
But seriously, the summer bus schedule is useless, and since the main streets keep closing down for festivals, the buses keep getting rerouted. And, of course, it's impossible to read the map they posted and the times they give on the signs conflict with each other. What fun! I'd rather ride my bike. It's much more reliable and it means that I don't have to get a cab home from work anymore. I should get a basket for it when I can afford it.
And I'm too tired to write more. But I will later! I promise!
