Saturday night with my GAL plans being cancelled I ended up taking myself out to eat and renting a Redbox movie.

I had another good morning at church on Sunday. I ended up going out to lunch afterword with a couple from church. After I got home, I had determined enough of the ice had melted it was OK to go for a bike ride. My W still had my S, and I hadn't heard anything about when she was going to bring him home. I took my time getting out there to ride. I was watching a little football anyway. It was a little wet with the temperature around 40 degrees. Ultimately I got 26 miles in.

Partway through my ride I decided to check my phone. Nothing from my W, but my S had called and sent a text. He had said he would be home in 1 hour, but it was about 20 minutes before his ETA. I figured I would probably be done with my ride around then. Frankly, I was a little ticked that I was hearing from him instead of W. I ended up downshifting hard on bike and lodging my chain tightly between the rear sprocket and hub to the point where the back tire wouldn't even roll. I ended up carrying my bike home about 1/2 mile. I guess it just added to my workout.

I get home with my W and S there waiting on me. My W actually said she was worried about me. She even went as far to say that she would've picked me up if I had called. I didn't get the chance to broach the topic of being ticked that my S contacted me instead of her. Eventually we will need to have that conversation.

I thought it through today, and I think what happened was my S just contacted me on his own. He was probably not prompted by my W. However, not contacting me is not out of character for my W. There were many times she wouldn't call when she was coming home or running late. I had learned to tolerate it even though I didn't like it. I don't think I would worry too much anymore about coming across too controlling or anything.

I did manage to get another ride in this morning. 8.6 mi. on wet streets, but with temperatures in the low 50s. It's very rare to get a ride in during January.
