I am having SUCH a bad day. I was scheduled to ride in the Seagull Century this weekend (my first century) but, after much deliberation decided not to do the ride. It's supposed to rain ALL DAY LONG (with intermittent breaks for rain AND thunder). Plus, I've been fighting a cold all week, and one of my kids is sick. Having never ridden in the rain before and with all the other issues, I decided to skip the ride, as much as I was psyched up for it. I found another century in two weeks time that I'll do instead.

Since making that decision, however, I have:
a. spent an hour online trying to find a hotel to stay in for the other century (finally found one but not nearly as close to the ride as I wanted to be)
b. called the hotel I was supposed to stay in tonight THREE TIMES before I could finally get someone to answer, only to discover that apparently they have a 24-hour cancellation policy, which I swear I didn't know about, rather than a "cancel by 6 p.m. policy" and now I'm going to be charged for the room anyway.
c. and, on top of all that, I've got a nasty sinus headache from the rain.

Whine, whine, whine. I need to throw something.
