holding pattern 
I had an entry all written up, but it's gone now, through the magic of cats. Gosh, I love cats. Did I mention we might get a new kitten? Because we don't already have enough cats?
I'm going to return the bike tonight. It makes me really sad, because this did seem like it would be a great bike, and I'm sure it is a great bike: for someone other than me. But it feels like a personal failing. I need to get over it. The world is full of bikes, there will be one for me. Someday.
The interesting part of all this is that I don't have a replacement. I've called and called and called the folks with the breezer, but I've never actually managed to get a hold of them, and they haven't taken down their cra1gsl1sting, and so I am going crazy, crazy, crazy. Oh well.
The thought of going back to the Townie for commuting seems, well, crazy. It seems like a big step back.

In other news, I was compulsively websurfing yesterday as I seem to frequently find myself doing, and suddenly I had this click. What the hell was I doing? Why am I doing this when important things, like reading and housecleaning and yarn work, and hanging with Sweetie, are here in the real world? Why is the interwebs so compelling?
So I shut the computer and I started cleaning. I didn't get a huge amount down, but I managed to throw out about a bag full, recycle another bag, and bring three bags out to the car. It felt really good.

You can never have enough cats. Just my opinion. What's $1500 worth of upholstered furniture and $5000 worth of carpeting in the face of all that fuzz and sweetness?
