i has a sleepy

It turns out when I started this blog I did what I always do: I wrote a few posts, then forgot my blog existed. This has happened since my days of having a diary in first grade. My posts were pretty much like this:

Day 1: Today I went to school and I ate chicken for dinner, and it was delicious.
Day 2: HAHAHA I just realized "diary" sounds like "diarrhea"

That's where it ends.

I just bought a bike a week ago. I had one when I was younger, and didn't ride much after high school. I've been trying to ride whenever I can--to the metro in the morning, to the grocery store, to the gym. Basically errands and commuting, no more than a couple miles, though I want to go on a long ride sometime.

This morning I knew trouble would be waiting for me in the afternoon. Why, you ask? Well, as I was riding to work, I was thinking how nice and leisurely the ride was. There were lots of downward slopes, but the whole ride was pretty much on a decline and I barely needed to pedal. I knew coming back home would be unpleasant. And it was! I'm going to stick with it, though, because it has to get easier...right? And it sure beats riding the bus.
