Well, X and Kit got to my house last night and before we were all tucked into bed for the night, I found out that my stepfather had fallen and got a concussion and a broken jaw. We're not sure why he fell. He's 80 something and it could be his diabetes, his BP, or perhaps the newly discovered heart valve problem. I found this out at 9pm and DH went down to the hospital to take my mother home; they'd been there since about 4pm and she was without car (they went in an ambulance)
So, i didn't sleep well last night.
In the morning, Teigyr called me sounding just llike the people you see in Nyquil commercials, she couldn't ride.
So the three of us went to the park in X's cool jeep and started the ride.
It was nippy out, and tried to rain on the way over, but as the day progressed, so did the weather, it was absolutely gorgeous. We rode 26 miles on the burke-gilman trail with a side tour of the University of Washington campus.
Kit tried to teach me how to jump my bike but I couldn't do it, and a squirrel tried to race with me. We turned around at Logboom park, and went back to Lake Forest Park (not a park) and ate subways for lunch.
I cut the ride way back because i had to go to the hospital. My mother drove down there but was too tired and stressed to drive herself home. We went down there and visited my stepfather too, who is feeling a little better. It looks like his jaw isn't so bad, they wont' have to wire it or anything.
