Bike Diaries

It turns out I still remember how to ride a bike, but my center of gravity has changed since I was 15 and stopped biking due to a knee injury, so I wobble frequently, especially when I remove a hand from the handlebars to wave or otherwise signal at cars.  Also, it turns out my butt has completely forgotten how to ride a bike and it now hurts a lot.  I texted Mom and asked her to put in my cushy bike seat cushion from my old bike into the next box she sends me.

I did get to school much faster, even if it's uphill most of the way.  Getting home was lovely, being mostly downhill - except my butt, as stated above, was very unhappy.

Yesterday I made bread with the last of my flour.  I need to practice more, because I'm having a tough time shaping the dough correctly.  Must buy more flour next week.  So I managed time to get the bread out of the oven and cooling 20 minutes before the bacon-onion stuff was ready, so I grated the cheddar while stirring occasionally and settled down to one of the most satisfying home-cooked, from-scratch, family-recipe meals I've had a in a LONG time.

Then I got back to work.

Today I went in early, finished project 2, worked, came home, passed out, tried to do project 3 and realized I missed a very necessary measurement so I'm going in early tomorrow to do it.  So I've been translating French and it's all done (I hope) and now I just have to get my presentation together.  Boiling water for a cup of noodles now, so I can have something warm for my throat before I go to bed.  I figured out that the cup noodles (different brand but they can't be that different) at Sam's Club are a whole cent more expensive per cup than at HEB!  Haha!  I'll keep getting them at HEB, mostly because I have nowhere to store 24 cups of cup of noodles.  I'll probably get the Sam's Club one when I've bought that electric kettle and keep them all on my nice shelf at work.

Anyway my eyes are exhausted and I really should work on that project some more, so I'll end here.  What a week!
