Bicycle Blues

[mood| depressed]

I was up before the sunrise this morning (5:15 a.m.), in hopes of getting to cycle to work. Paying over $30.00 at the gas pump last night was some incentive, but my main purpose is to regain the stress relief and fitness I have lost with that part of my routine. Just getting out of the car and into the open air would be pleasure enough.

Unfortunately, It has been so long since I got on the bikes that I misplaced my helmet and gloves and burned 5 minutes looking for them. Getting it all together and packed for the ride took longer than usual (I am out of practice after all), and I ended up having to nix the whole thing. At 7am, I knew the ride would take me long enough that by the time I got there, the 15 minutes it would take me to get ready for work would make me too late. Nothing I did this morning would have changed this. It just took me running around in circles and getting the bicycle ready for me to realize.

I need a nine to five job where I can get in early and ready myself.
