"When it Rains; it Rains!"




That quote is from a wise roommate I once had. She said that one time when things were going bad for her. "Man, when it rains; it rains!" I like that better than "when it rains; it pours." Just seems more logical doesn't it? Maybe not. Anyway, while I was on a wonderful bike ride my tire popped. Okay, that may not be the whole story. I was getting back onto the trial, after I had gotten a drink of water, and wasn't watching where I was going, and ran into a rock the size of Pluto. Okay, maybe it wasn't that big but it felt like it seeing I knew I saw the rock and felt I had given myself enough room to go around it. I guess not. Luckily, I got to have a lovely hour walk back to my car. And, 25 dollars later I have a new tire, inner-tube and slime. All in a days work(or days play) I guess!

I went through my new apartment today. I am definitely giving up a little space for a little peace and quiet. Today would be moving day, if there wasn't a leak below the living room. I think it is going to be a fiasco to fix. SIGH. I think I am just going to move stuff into the kitchen and bedroom and hope for the best. My wise friend, Moo, made a good point. I am glad that I had not moved all my stuff into the apartment and then have it flood. I am a fan of non-soaked stuff. I guess it is okay timing too because really I won't be around much to be in their way while they fix it!

I think I will go to a movie tonight. Some people think it is weird that I will actually go to a movie by myself. I figure that you aren't supposed to talk during the movie anyway, so what is the big deal? I have some free passes and I figured that I will go, seeing I can't do much moving at the moment!

Well, I hope all of you had a day filled with no flat tires! :)

Rita-I am sorry your apartment is a little soggy at the moment. I hope things get straightened out before you have to leave for wisconsin. you can always enlist Caleb to move your stuff if you need too! Do you love how I totally volunteered him? He'd probably love it too if he knew. Also, I do not think it is strange that you go to movies by yourself. I actually really enjoy that. It is quiet time. :-) Have a great time!
