about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

And now we are two permalink

Well, Thanksgiving is getting smaller and smaller.

Last year, we had no Thanksgiving dinner party, and it made me quite sad. I love having people over, I love cooking for a houseful. So this year, I was hoping to have a houseful... and then I learned that another friend had snagged all of our friends. Except Mela. That's okay. Mela and I and Sweetie can hang out and cook.

And now Mela has the flu. Poor thing, she sounds awful. We'll make her a care package tomorrow, but I am so bummed.
...
Anyways, tomorrow will be fun. We'll cook, we'll hang out. I'll be bringing a huge pile of work home, but I'm hoping to have some time to knit and read as well. And maybe if this wonderful weather holds, I can get in a walk or two.

I rode home last night, natch. I had expected it would have been warmer than it had been in the morning, so I wore one less layer. But it was windy, and it was plenty cold. Damn, I am so slow, and the ride was taxing. But I slept well last night.

This morning's ride was beautiful. Cold, sunny, not too much wind. Even when I'm annoyed on the bike, I am so happy. I'm so glad to be doing this again!
