All Done!

It's all done and official. We don't own our house anymore. How can I possibly be relieved after such a painful kick in the teeth? Well, it's just a relief to not be paying a mortgage that I can't afford on a house I haven't lived in for 9 months. Now the fun begins--seriously looking for a place to live out here!

Bike to Work

I have to say I love biking to work. Some days like today, I'm struck anew by how much I enjoy peddling in. I just moved in to Steph's parents' place, which is another 3 miles farther from work, and the roads are a little busier. So I've been hesitant, knowing it will take a little longer and I'll have to deal with more traffic. But I hopped on the bike and road in this morning. Oh, it's just such a good feeling to get in to work after having a good workout, not dealing with the stresses of driving and stoplights and freeways. No radio or unnecessary noise to irritate my sensitive just-woke-up ears. Just peace and quiet and riding as fast as I can.
