New - HELP! Tried the 180/Last Resort & Failed

[AloneAt35]

Thanks MrBond, 25years, and Tank. I survived my bike ride and am NOT emailing Ex-P about it as per your consensus.

Let me say, today was a difficult day, which really made me miss Ex-P all the more. But this bike situation is just for a few weeks and by fall I will not only be working within walking distance of the apartment, but also very likely getting a car for excursions, etc.

I can't think that every day will be as tough as today was or I would give up. The important thing is that Ex-P's solitary complaint after leaving me was that I was not independent enough and now he can NEVER say that I didn't rise to the challenge. He never had to ride his bike like this because his parents bought him his first three cars!

Wow, am I sore in every way.
