Today did not start as a good day. Without going into detail - I was mad. I was hurt, mad, and emotional. I jumped in the shower to not only clean but to listen to only the water running and nothing else. Then I attempted to be civil and disregard the elephant in the room but it couldn’t be done. So I put on my new pink Aero shorts, new baby blue Nike Shox, and drive off with my new Schwinn bike in my car. (Yeah, I went on a Spring shopping spree - so happy).
I park my car at Bidwell Park and jump on my new Schwinn and ride. The ride it self was really nice - it always is - I just know I will hurt for a few days from biking 10 miles to relief stress. I was hungry after the ride so I drive downtown and parked along Main Street. It's common knowledge that you do not need to feed the parking meters on the weekends but I was so mentally jumbled that I had 60 cents in my hand and I didn't want to hold onto it so I feed the 60 cents to the meter. This makes sense, now, why some guy gave me a weird look like “Ummm, she must not be around here or not able to read the sign directly placed on the meter that states the meter laws”. After feeding the meter my piggy-bank account I walked to Beach Hut Deli and for those of you who are familiar with my digestive track, I do not do well with large meals. However, today I wanted to suppress my anger with food so I downed an amazing sandwich called the Drankster™ (roasted turkey, cream cheese, Monterey Jack, tomatoes, and Greek peppers between toasted bread). This sandwich was 2 inches high with each ingredient repeated twice. It was so comforting I ate almost all of it which for me is too much.
At the time it sounded like a good idea - take a relaxing bike ride, give the city my chump-change, and treat myself to lunch. But here I am with achy thighs and I have turned my bathroom into my blogging office for today!
Lesson for today -
