Why was it hard, Why wake me up
The weather yesterday was perfect after a brief band of rain blew through in the morning. The temps were in the low 70’s with bright blue skies. I continued my trend of taking care of small nagging to do’s during the day but by mid-afternoon I was caught up. I knew it was a perfect day to go out and ride but for some odd reason I found myself struggling to commit to do it.
I was considering throwing a wheel in the truck and driving down close to the beach to ride but for whatever reason that sounded like a pain in the ass at the time. I was almost going to shit can the entire idea of riding but then I came up with another option. I had been annoyed that I haven’t gotten out to ride my little Mten3 in months. It is the smallest but also the most agile wheel I own. I thought I would take it to the nearby school and have some fun.
That is what I did, except I decided to change the location to the new park instead which worked out well. I just went forward, backward and in circles for a good 45 minutes or so. The weather was so damn perfect, I wished I could bottle up that moment and open it back up in the future whenever I needed to feel good about the world.
Early in the evening Deb stopped by to pick up a couple things. She just turned 50 this past weekend. She celebrated by taking a trapeze class which I saw some video of. It sounded like she had a fantastic time.
I had a lot of late nights this past weekend so I was asleep pretty early last night. Around 3AM I looked to the side of the bed after being woken up and I see Elsa staring at me. Of course I thought this meant there was some urgent business she had to take care of. I take her outside in my underwear and a sweatshirt to see her just casually pee and then maybe does a deuce, it was hard to tell. Neither thing looked urgent so I wasn’t quite sure why she woke me up. Unfortunately I didn’t really fall back asleep afterward. As a result I am in zombie mode today.
