I took a major step towards improving my health yesterday. I bought a bicycle. I am very happy with my purchase and rode it for a good 30 minutes last night in the rain. I was so excited that the thought of getting wet didn't even phase me. The day started with me going out to the bike shop in the morning. I went and got an education on the different styles of bikes, the features that were of importance to me, etc. I decided on one and told them I would be back later to pick it up. While I was out I also got us a hamper and lunch from Zoup. B was in a mood all day yesterday. Even though she won't admit it, I don't think she is happy with my purchase. To her it was way too much money to spend on a bike. But she also knows how important it was to me. What she doesn't know and frankly I don't think anyone needs to know, is that this is the first bike I have ever owned. I didn't have one as a kid. I didn't ride around the neighborhood. I borrowed other people's bikes, but I never owned one of my own. It's more important to me than people will ever realize.
We also spent more time organizing the house yesterday. We tried to watch Empire but she wasn't into it. She ended up going off to read around 8 and I stayed up playing games until 10. The kid was sending me messages all day. She is stressed about her flight today. Her grandparents were going back and forth on driving her to the airport which was causing more stress than needed for something so simple.
We are leaving to pick her up soon. So excited to see her. Now to go for a bike ride.
