a good day 
It's been a good day. I rode the new bike into work today, and, while the getting started from a stop thing is hard, it's getting easier. I'm getting a little better about trusting that I can balance. It's a weird thing, feeling like I'm learning how to cycle again. Amazed how far my leg can reach and how tight the ball of my calf can go.
I had a good day at work today too. I learned something new, on my own. I broke something and then fixed it. At lunch, I went someplace new (yuck) and strolled and took pictures.
My knee still hurts a lot of time, though not when I'm cycling. It's hot to the touch and still firm and swollen. But I suppose as long as I shaved my legs, I could wear a long skirt to work.
The ride home was a trial, but I made it, I did it, and then I got to eat an omelette that my sweetie made along with some homebrewed hefeweizen. It was good, too. We've spent the evening reading with all the animals on hand. The dog has been especially devoted this evening.
I just got The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women who surrendered their children for adoption in the decades before Roe v. Wade from the library. It's good. I think it'll make up its own entry.
