Well today was hectic and kind of weird. I woke up at like 2:15 pm and had to leave for work at 3:30, which left no time to relax or practice my guitar. I basically ate lunch (breakfast?), got ready for work, and left.
Except my bicycle didn't work. None of them did. The one I've been using for the past few weeks broke right as I was leaving, so I got mad and really broke it (I have a short fuse when I'm stressed, especially when I'm short on time. I remember smashing my printer in college because it wouldn't print an essay as I was leaving for class). Tried taking my old bike, but that one fucked up too, and the coaster brake on my sister's bike seized up.
Tried calling my dad for a ride, but he was mowing a lawn and couldn't hear his phone, so I got an Uber (during corona, yes. Both the driver and I were wearing masks) and got to work ten minutes late. Somebody shouted at us on the road, not really sure why.
Work was super busy since it's a Monday (Monday and Tuesday are usually our heaviest days), but overall wasn't bad. Got a ride home from my parents and spent three hours cobbling parts together from the three bikes (also yoinked a couple brake pads from my mom's old bike. I'd love to ride that one, but the wheel rims are fucked and 26" x 1" wheels are hard to find nowadays. It's a really cool 10 speed Schwinn with thumb shifters and drop bars from the 90's or thereabouts. I'll try to remember to post a picture tomorrow). Finally got my old bike working, other than the gear shifters. Never could get those to function properly. My gear options are: second gear or fifth gear. Jumps the ones in the middle, won't go into first, and can't go into the high gears.
Now I'm in my room eating grilled cheese, vegetable juice (because I forgot to buy tomato soup again. They're similar enough), and popcorn while window shopping for mopeds on Facebook Marketplace. It's gonna be another month before I can afford one. Oh well. I'll cope.
