I had grand plans of making this last, Who am I?, post about some of my amazing ancestors and where I have come from. But guess what? January has been the longest ten years of my life and I am just tired. I think crazy March teacher tired has already set in and I am exhausted.
I think I felt this exact way last year. It was around the time our cherished Papa passed away. Basketball made me tired and I also was just stuck in the routine of teaching day in, day out. I got grumpy. I didn't know exactly where to put all my sadness. I went dark for a few weeks.
So, this time around, I think I am going to battle the dark. I am going to a movie on Friday with Reub. I am also starting a project tomorrow.
I have always wanted a cruiser type bike, I began searching for my birthday present to myself(of course you have to start early). I have always been obsessed with all things old, especially from the late 50s and early 60s. So, it just seemed right to buy an old bike to fix up and make amazing.
So, you may hear about those adventures here and there in the future on this here blog space. Because I bought this:
And the man who sold it to me, really wanted this to go along with it:

So, I guess I have two projects to do. I am planning on starting this endeavor tomorrow. Something real good is about to come out of this winter.
So,
I am tired
I am in a funk
I am in need of a project
(or two)
I love bikes
I love old things
I will now be a restorer of old bikes
I always have purpose
(and so do you!)
