hold on! - 11

[u-turn]

Thank you so much Jelly - that may be the nicest thing that anyone's said about me.

I am sorry that the story that I tell brings out bad thoughts about yourself, but I feel, and I apologize if this sounds negative, at least you are able to recognize this and will do something about it. I do think your analysis of my situation might be right and I have felt many times with this one included that she acts like an adolescent.

I know that I may be sensitive to this, but she is on her over the top nice swing now - which negates the spew from the other day - it happens every single time. This may sound like I'm nit-picky, but when she was talking to our neighbor, she called me her husband and it actually made me cringe - and I (inadvertently?) made a loud throat clearing sound - probably juvenile on my part.

I am enjoying cycling so much - it has really helped me clear my mind, get into shape, sleep, make me look better in those jeans, I can say that I actually have a hobby - which I haven't really been able to before. (went 40 miles - 64 k in about 2 1/4 hours today - I was pretty wobbly after that, but have been out every day this week. tomorrow I will rest as school starts). I reached two of my destination goals today.

I haven't named my bike, and but likely she is not very happy with me because she is still covered in caked on mud from a week ago. She seemed to take her frustrations out on me today with some faulty shifting.

I hope your weekend was good too - I survived mine without much incident.
