a BIKE story
Well, I bike to go to work. It takes me about 20 minutes going down and then uphill – lots of fun for my calfs and heart. Since Tuesday, I had been limping, I think I pulled a muscle in my foot. It was no fun and by the end of the day, my foot was quite tired while my other foot was working twice as hard throughout the day to make up for the sick foot. Lots of fun again.
So last night I was biking home and it was around 5:30. First, it started to rain, I mean it as pouring rain. Great. I still had 10 minutes to go. Then, I got a flat tire. So I had to drag my bike (since only one wheel was actually turning) home, as I was limping my way through the rain, thunder and lightning for a good 30 minutes. At times I laughed out loud, sang songs about the rain, or almost cried from the pain that came from my foot. Lots of fun!
When I got home, I open a pocket of my bag to find my keys only to find a pond in the pocket. Everything in my bag was wet to the core. Even my ipod was wet and wasn’t working anymore (and still doesn’t). I was so wet, so wet, so wet.
The first thing that I heard when I got home was Do (roommate) laughing and taking a picture of my wet beauty.
oh such beauty indeed…hahaha…

I’m so sorry about your awful day. Is your foot getting any better?

My foot is doing better, but I never get the rest that I wish it’d get. There’s always something (like another flat tire) or moving out that gives my foot no rest. It’ll be fine pretty soon I’m sure.

I agree with the uncle! I don’t know Gabe, if it’s fouler, and feels better after couple of days, it’ll be more fragile after. Have fun though…and we can buy you another Ipood(haha) in november

Well, Do – give me the picture and I’ll proudly put it on my blog (well, I look quite ugly in it, but oh well, that’s what I looked like). And about the ipod, well, all of the sudden, on Saturday night, it worked again! So now it’s working as before, I’m quite happy about it! Now you can buy me a … I don’t know, in November!
