Dear So and So

[Owlie]

I've been stressed for about a month. It's like everything hit at once and my body and mind hasn't adjusted. Between my basement flooding, not having heat for 3 days, schools begging for money, anxiety/depression, a significant drop in income and the last straw was finding my cat had (has been) peed all over my cycling clothes has me completely frazzled. I had washed them a couple of times and they still reeked of cat urine. I lashed out at the lady in the pet store only because I was trying to purchase cat cleaner and couldn't think straight with her yelling at the manager who was doing my sale.

Turns out apple cider vinegar mixed with laundry detergent does the trick and my cycling clothes are back to normal. At least I feel better about that.

Today the weather was nice and doing about 2 miles before my body gave out helped with the stress. I'm wondering if I have exercise induced asthma and need to see a doc. Either that or I somehow manage to burn through energy so fast I bonk and don't know why. I have a love/hate relationship with cycling.

Have you been sick recently? Food? Either way, ((hugs)). That's a lot to throw at you in one go.

Dear parents:
Why, for the first 15 or so years of my life, were you convinced that the only way to cook vegetables was to boil the living daylight out of them? I would have eaten far more vegetables had they been roasted! (Roasted cauliflower is delicious, everyone!)
Me.
