Monday Mish-Mash


Sample picture of my bike. Mine has a pink bell, white wire basket and nothing on the backend

Today is the first day of school where I work. I am in the office so it is nothing like the regular chaos that ensues on a first day but you can feel the difference in the energy. Plus, we have some new staff in the office so that shakes things up a bit.

As I mentioned yesterday, we went to see Despicable Me - Great movie, great story and super amazing 3-D effects. Wowie! We split a small popcorn and soda and I got some M&Ms. We had a late breakfast and early dinner so I budgeted them in and it was well worth it.

I am feeling more settled in our new place. Now that things are more organized I feel much better. I found some crucial paperwork that I was looking for so it took a major load off. The only major task left is the storage and to get my bike.

My bike is in Danielle's garage. It has been since last November. I did not have anywhere to store it and she had the space available in her garage. She offered to give me a key but then never got around to it. I have been asking about it the last few times I saw her. I need to coordinate getting an air pump over there (I have a compressor) and prepping it for the ride. It is a mile or two from her place to our new place so it will be a breeze to ride it home. One of my new neighbors has offered us her storage unit so that is my bike's new home :-) I just need to install some hooks in the ceiling. I miss my bike a lot. I rode it quite a bit last summer and fall. Dave got it for me for my birthday last year.

My eczema is acting up again. I think that it is stress that triggers it. I just have never had an outbreak as bad as I did back in July. This time it seems to be isolated though and since I have a stronger ointment to use this time around I should be able to get it into check pretty quickly. Oh and try not to stress. A lot of it has to do with old apartment and the crap associated with that. Maybe if I increased my exercise it would help as well. What a novel concept! Doh! Until next time...

  5. Love your bike Katie!!! I look forward to buying myself a bike and riding when I hit 100kg. I use to love cycling a few years back when I lost 25kg.
