    Ack! What a day!

    Days like that always make me wonder if Mercury is retrograde.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Days like that you just want to crawl back into bed and get out on the other side hoping that will make a difference. So sorry to hear, be kind to yourself today.

    Thanks for all the lovely replies! You can always rely on the women here to understand. Thank you all

    The wonderful mobile mechanic came out first thing this morning. Minnie now has a tightened up handlebar, the headset set correctly, tightened back brake, non-rubbing front brake and a handful of other small changes. I cannot wait to ride her again and see how she feels with everything checked over and adjusted correctly. He also fixed the front wheel of the Vita, which had been rubbing noticeably. I did get to put a quick 5miles on the Vita afterwards, and the difference was remarkable. Of course my smartphone app didn't record, but I knew that the time was faster than I've managed in a while. The bike was perfectly well-behaved, I can only assume that she really doesn't want to run errands. I can hardly blame her.

    That's why I almost never check, because then I think of a million ways it could have been worse!
