    Unhappy Monday Blues

    Got a flat.
    I never did patch the spare from the flat last week.
    After patching the spare, pinched the bleeping thing putting it in.
    Could not find the hole in the other tube.
    Rolled the bike home and stuck the tube in water, found the hole and patched it.
    Road off to work my usual way forgetting that the road is closed today.
    Doubled back and ended up coming into work on a road that does not have a bike lane.
    Pushed the elevator button and went toward the one that was light. Dumb elevetor closed in my face before I could even get on.
    2 hours late for work.
    I have no spare for the ride home as the pinch flat was too large to patch.


    Wish I could just go home and go back to bed and pretend this day has not happened yet.

    For bus fare? Or so I can take myself out to lunch?

    Ahhh, that would be ride to the lbs and a loaner. Not a bad idea. Think I'll check around. I'm sure some one is up for a lunch time adventure.

    The clouds are gather...with the way my morning has been...I could see getting a flat in a rain storm.

    Hmmm. Makes my Monday sound decent.

    I rode to work but forgot my work keys. Had to ride back home to get them. It's only 2 miles, but I had to fight all the high-schoolers driving to school on the return trip.

    I guess it's better than the day last week that I forgot my underwear. Had to wear my bike shorts and sports bra under my clothes all day. I dress very casual for work (read: shorts or jeans), but still...

    Hope your day goes better!!
