They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Those of this who are over a certain hill have certainly learned this. Today was a day like that. I left work early and headed to the mall. I had an order to pick up, and decided I was in dire need of new shoes for work: New Balance, of course, because they work well with all the walking on cement that I do. Mission accomplished, I think these will be great.
Then I actually went INTO the mall for lunch at Paradise Bakery. For anyone who knows the real me, I don't DO malls. Walking around and looking at things I don't need, or can't afford, doesn't thrill me any longer. And I have issues being in crowded shopping malls. I can deal with them if I know what I'm there for, where it's located, get in and get out. Yep. That's me normally. But today I actually enjoyed myself. Of course, malls are typically quiet at 1pm. lol
Then. I get home and my son is finally tackling the flat tire he got on his Ezip bike. The bad news: his tire is out of round, and there's a broken spoke. We drove it over to a bike shop, and they don't work on e-bikes. Now what? We checked Google for someone local who does repairs, and headed that way. Oddly, it was just a guy in his garage.... *sigh* ... this doesn't bode well for me. But there he was, door open, so Brian popped in and the guy actually had the tool needed to remove the smaller sprocket from the wheel. In the end, he happened to have a replacement wheel but the gears for pedaling don't fit. Doesn't anyone dare to work on these little bikes? maybe Brian needs to start his own shop! Such frustrations.
To top it all off, my feet, my legs and my lower back are all aching this week.
Maybe a little extra rest this weekend.
Here comes Friday! Whooo Hoo!
