My Wandering Days Are Over
Yesterday not one but two toilets were overflowing. One was causing a rainstorm in the basement.
Today I have to go to a family funeral.
Tomorrow I wil be tired and grouchy because my cold is getting worse. And I will be only 8 days away from the race, three of which I will have to spend out of town for work and I probably won't have any time to ride (because I will have work to do) and all kinds of things I've been putting off for weeks are coming due.
1. taxes
2. a project for work which shall remain nameless
3. another ongoing project there
4. something else I can't remember right now
5. oil changes for the van and the old car
6. replacing the chain on my road bike
I want to sit, sip tea, and listen to music. I want to try and play some. I want to paint. I want to ride my bike in glorious summer weather. And instead I have all kinds of responsibilities.
PS The family funeral went OK (for a funeral, that is). The hardest part was seeing my family name on a gravestone. If I saw it before it didn't get to me. This time it did.
