My 365...
Do you know what really feels good planet? Being up, out of bed and ready to go before noon. I know, I know, most "normal" people are up WAY before noon. Lately, we are way outside of normal, but with some scheduling adjustments, that is changing. And I have to say...it feels good.
It also felt good to wake up to a clean house. Everything was nice and clean, dishes done, laundry done, and every room in order. Well...almost every room. Jack and Casey have pretty messy spaces, but all I have to do is close their doors.
The plan for today was grocery shopping and pharmacy by bike. Make a dinner picnic, then a nice evening ride on the green belt. Blake an I left for errands about 2:30pm. It was "supposed" to be cooler today, so I figured errands on bike would be fun. What I forgot to do was eat. Garrett is always telling me I need to fuel my body. Eating is boring...who needs fuel?
When we left there was a nice breeze, so it did not feel hot outside. We rode to Walgreens to get my prescriptions. When we arrived, I realized I did not have a bike lock. Unfortunately, either did Walgreens, but there was a Shopko across the street. So we rode to Shopko to get a new bike lock for our bikes. The ones we have at home are always on Jack's or Casey's bikes, and we always forget to grab them. Now Blake and I have one of our very own. Yay.
We were leaving Shopko and noticed a Dollar Store across the road, so off to investigate that store for a bit. We managed to score two new bike flashlights and batteries for our nighttime rides. Yay number 2!
Then off to the grocery store. Blake told me I should have hooked up the bike trailer, but my list was not THAT long. I figured with my cloth grocery bags, and my bike basket I could handle the ride home. Right?
Of course I needed a gallon of milk, a watermelon, a dozen eggs and various other goodies. Five full bags later, I was ready to ride home.
"Mom?"
"Yes Blake?"
"You are going to die."
"LOL, Dude, oh ye of little faith. Mama's got this."
By then it was 97°f (weatherman you said cool dude?) and I had heavy grocery bags hanging off each handlebar, a watermelon strapped to the back of my bike, and a basket full of heavy stuff, including a gallon of milk. No big deal. Off we went. We got about two blocks from the grocery store, and I suddenly felt this HUGE wave of "OMG, I think I am going to faint!" What the heck? So what do I do? Pedal faster. lol
When we got home, Garrett came running out of the house to scold me. "Mama, what the heck are you doing? I could have gone to the store for you?"
"Yeah son, but it would not have been as much fun."
Mama can do anything....she is like a boss!
It was a great day. We may...or may not...take an evening bike ride. I don't want to push my luck. There is always tomorrow. Hope your day was great planet!
New bike goodies.
"Mom, how the heck are you going to carry all those groceries home?"
Total ride...4.17 miles.
Peace.

A nice day for biking errands.
