Beth...wow...

Dear weather--
Do you do this on purpose? Raining on the days I'm wearing a jersey with white all over the back (especially this one that I can't replace) is not cool. I'm hoping the detergent gods are friendly today.

Dear bike--
ARGH! I'm going to say for the moment that the shop is correct in that it'll take a few days to get you back to me. (I have my doubts, but...). You could have spent the weekend with me, having fun (and a bath, since you're dirty again), but no, you get to sit around in the back of the shop and have strange people poke you. And you don't get to go out and have fun. We have a mileage goal this month, and several carless days to work around. You're not helping.
(I think I was right about you wanting to sit on your tires and eat chips...)
--Me.
