Being here tonight
Tonight has been a good night. I feel calm and content and happy- let me explain why:
I went to spin class, and it was great. The gym here is the GYM OF THE GODS- epic in proportions, shiney and new, and utterly imposing.
I came home, and my extremely kind and helpful roomate did something extremely kind and helpful- he helped me customize (read: cut up with a hacksaw and fix back together) these mudgaurds (aka fenders) for my new bike. He did a remarkable job- the back fender had to be mounted over the top of the back break, because it wouldn’t fit under it, and the back wheel had to be aligned. The front fender had to be sawed in half and tied in place with zip ties. This process involved power tools, patience, and a few ‘old Indian tricks’. I’m so lucky to have such a philanthropic roomate!
After the bike clinic I came inside and worked on my Systems Pathology stuff for tomorrow, and discovered that it’s neither as difficult nor as time-consuming as I’d imagined. What a relief!
To top it all off, I made a pleasent summer squash and tempeh stir fry with my favorite peanut sauce, with extras left over for lunch tomorrow. Yipee!
