I have no children, I have no husband

[raybear]

Nearly a month ago, I went on a mini-shopping spree at Bike Nashbar and got, among other things, a rack for the back my bike. I also opted for buying a pannier in lieu of stealing the milk crate. When my package came, I was very excited, but quickly got overwhelmed by the bike rack installation and avoided it for....nearly a month. But this morning, for some reason, at 7 am, wearing smelly undershirt and boxers that I pulled out of the hamper to take the dog out, without having eaten any breakfast, I decided, I'm going to install it right now. And I did! Don't get me wrong, I had a moment of near tears. I had several moments of thinking "I should call broqued for a consult." I also had a moment of "fck it! I should HAND IT OVER to broqued along with an autographed photo of Lynda Carter as bribery". But I pushed through and its funny how something can go from 'everything is wrong' to 'everything came together' in an instant. Its possible (probable) I didn't quite do it correctly. But it seems to be sturdy! And my new hammock fits inside one side of the pannier!

Of course, its cloudy and starting to rain, so I won't be able to take it out for a full test run. But I'm not even that disappointed, I'm so thrilled that its done. Now let's see if I can tackle other things I've been neglecting for a month. Like putting away the stacks of clean laundry so that I can actually see and sit on my couch.

someone stole our bikes. but, whoever did was at least nice enough to leave the kids' bikes behind. (i know they probably only left them behind because they didn't think they could sell them as easily, but i still like to think it's because they didn't want to make the kids sad.)

I am glad I am not the only one to leave the clean laundry in stacks for weeks on end.
