Our bike ride was cut drastically short today.
I did not hear the tire hiss like last time. Instead,
I noticed my slowness getting up the hills. Pedaling,
but felt as if I was going nowhere, slow. After about 4 miles,
I looked down at the back tire and realized it was flat.
I was reluctant to say, I have a flat. But I did it anyway.
Mr. Fix-it had spent a good bit of time yesterday replacing
both of my tires. He even took the bike into the bike shop and
the guy in the shop exchanged the old for the new on the back tire .
Anyways, we re-aired the back tire up, in hopes that I could
pedal it home before it went flat again. I didn’t make it one half
a block. I started walking. Mr. Fix-it went after the jeep, to rescue
me again. We brought it back to the bike shop. They kindly redid it
and fixed another thing on my derailleur.
Things that have not gone quite as expected:
- Mung beans did not sprout-but they sure did smell bad
- I did not finish the mailbox
- My entries were rejected by the magazine
- Two of my big trees have problems
- I overcooked the cabbage
Just in case you think I am complaining. I am not,
these are trivial annoyances. But I did figure out how
to use bullet points! At the end of the day. I’d say the
weather was lovely- I did make headway on the mailbox.
We did get the bike up and going again. And even ordered
me a new trail bike at a most reasonable price. The cabbage
was edible. I’m praying for my trees to live and bud again.
God cares about everything.
