Helen Wheels


I had the most wonderful day yesterday. Other than the fact that I can't seem to pass a little ten question test on one of the products that I will be selling, that is. Good heavens, I took it for a second time and failed it AGAIN. Could only miss two, missed three again. How on earth can I take a state insurance test and score in the 90 percentile and not be able to pass a test that is ridiculously simple? So, other than that, my day was wonderful.


I came home from the office early - mid morning. There was little for me to do there, I am not actually starting my job until Monday. I picked up a new book I bought in LARGE PRINT, and read all the rest of the day. I am paying for doing that this morning, but how awesome it was to read something I wanted to read, and something I could actually see, for the most part. Heaven, that's what it was.


Later in the day, I decided to take off on my bike...and I went for a 45 minute bike ride. Which was really not the best idea I have ever had, I might add. The traffic around our new place is awful...busy all day and into the evening. It was just after four when I had this bright idea...I put on my favorite ball cap...took the steps down to the parking garage and retrieved my bike, and set out. I was shocked at the condition of my neck. It wouldn't turn at all, not even as much as it has been recently. I couldn't see...because I had been reading all day. And there is so much construction noise around here, I was pretty much deaf. So, just picture Helen Keller riding a bike...that was me. I did find a good place to ride in the neighborhood directly to the north of here, but getting back was really difficult. Only by the grace of God...I'm telling you. So, perhaps I will rethink the whole bike riding by myself in the middle of the day thing...


Last evening, I made a very simple dinner and then that was it for me. Out----in seconds. Until late in the evening, and then I was up. But that's okay, today I have no where to be officially, just tons of book work and house work to do. I do hope my eyes perk up some today, although I'm going to have to stay away from my book if that's what I want.


I will catch you all here later. :)
