Bicycle Commuting Mama: Not So Fun

Today has not been a fun bike commuting day so far, and it’s not even 9:00!  First of all, I was late getting up (staying up until after midnight may have contributed to this).  Then the kids in turn got up late, even though I woke them up at their normal time.  Then I rode up to a bus line and caught a bus, because I thought it might be quicker, and because I wanted to stop at a particular convenience store.  And because I was feeling lazy.

The bus ride went fine, but then at the end the bus driver yelled to me in a not-so-pleasant voice because I forgot to put the bike rack back up.  Sorry, lady.  I can’t be the only one who ever forgets.  But I suppose that’s exactly why you were upset.

And then rain poured on me for the last quarter-mile or so that I had to ride to work.  I hadn’t bothered putting on rain gear, of course, so my thighs are now wet.

What with all of that, plus not eating breakfast, I’m feeling rather fragile now.  Don’t worry, I am going to eat.
