I know I started a Commuter Series a while back, and I promise to get back to that eventually. Just in case someone may have actually found it useful.
For those who missed it, I also posted about my dad recently. It's a little more on the serious, non-cycling related, note. But it's out there if you want to follow along with my life.
Earlier this week, I made an appointment to take our automobile in to the shop for some routine business. I made the appointment this week, because next week I have to travel to the awful(est) state of New Jersey for work. And being the nice husband I am, I wanted to make sure the car was running blissfully for my wonderful wife during my absence. My wife has requested that I mention her at least once in all my posts, so there you go, babe :)
Now, I made the appointment for Friday because I typically work from home on Friday's, and there wasn't anything on my calendar at the time. I say there wasn't anything on my calendar at the time, because apparently I didn't actually check my calendar. Had I checked my calendar, I would have discovered that I am getting things straightened out with the Chiropractor this very morning. Then, my presence is required at work since we are bringing someone into the office for an interview. So now my day looks like this:
- Wake up as usual around 5am
- Sit around reading the news until 5:30am
- Fold some laundry and pack work clothes until 6am
- Make breakfast, eat breakfast, and devotional reading until 7am
- Write a terrible blog post about my day, in advance
- Drive car to the shop around 8am
- Ride bike to the Chiro at 8:45am
- Ride bike to work 9:30am...ish. Yes, that's amish time.
- Drink coffee
- Interview some guy from Egypt, that married some girl in Otsego, MI, and now wants to work at Stryker about why he is from Egypt and then married some girl in Otsego and now wants to work at Stryker.
- Work like an idiot until 4:30pm (because it's Friday, and I came in late, so I'm leaving early)
- Ride bike to get the car
- Drive car home
- Do something fun with my family
And I should also mention, the weather looks like this:
But at least I'm not doing anything crazy like re-roofing my house this weekend (that one's for the Bergren's, if you happen to be reading this):
And finally, to make you totally jealous that I work for an employer that cares about my health and well being, I was recently rewarded with a $200 gift card. As such, I would like to pay it forward, in the form of a $10 Starbucks gift card. I don't actually have the gift card yet, but I plan to purchase a pack of them soon for future giveaways. Or more likely my wife and I will keep them for ourselves:
Here are the rules: It's Friday, it's raining, post a comment, any comment, the funnier, the better. It can be about your day, a bike-related incident, or really anything. Since it is my blog, I will choose the winner at random, or depending on who I can get a gift card to the easiest, or who makes me laugh the most...or something like that.
That's all for now - have a great weekend - hug your Mom and tell her you love her. Talk to you again soon.
