Today I had to drop off my car at the shop. It has a serious problem in the transmission but being an eleven years old car this isn't a surprise. So I got up around 6:30am and got ready for some hoofing.
I decided that it wasn't fair to make Mike late for work just to drop off the car, so I went solo.
By 8am I had left the car at the shop and was on the road to get back home. The weather was nice, the sun was shinning, the meadows were dewy, the side walks were, well, non existent.
I'm pretty sure I freaked out many drivers today by walking on the shoulders near the road.
My feet were soaking wet because of the morning dew but the view was simply amazing. It took me a little over 2 hours to get home but I blame that on the countless pit stops to take pictures along the way. I have to account another good 20 minutes at Starbucks to grab a soy latte.
I got home tired and dirty and was going about my day, cleaning the house and caring for the dog when I got a phone call asking if I could dog sit.
I have never said no to a good puppy, so in half hour or so I had a puppy to care for. Then I got another phone call asking to swing by a friend's house to let her dog out to pee and give him some food. She won't get home till midnight. I couldn't say no. Poor dog. The glitch was.... no car today or tomorrow. What can I do?
Bike, of course! I got this nice cruiser bike in the garage accumulating cob webs.
I Googled the address, mapped my route and off I went another 6.9 miles.
That was about 2 hours ago. My feet are beyond sore. I'm Oh so tired. But I have that nice feeling that I did something good and Karma is smiling at me. Now me, my Beagle and the puppy are resting a little and I'm already thinking about dinner. I'll cook something nice tonight with lots of protein. All this walking and biking made me soooo hungry.
Cheers.
