I guess April is Earth Month (is that an official thing?). When I first found that out, my response was “screw that, it’s still too cold for bike riding.” But then we went a brief (and I mean brief) ride over the weekend to check out Abe’s new bike, and it felt so good to be back.
So I toughed it out, and I’ve been riding to work. Forty degrees is not as bad as you think. Fifty is gorgeous. It’s supposed to be 55 today and that makes me happy. Spring makes me happy. It apparently also makes me write in sentence fragments.
But what I’m trying to say is: biking is awesome and I love it. Spring is awesome, and I love that too. I saw a robin this morning, and that was a sign that today is a good day.
They really are. Yes, I suppose that is kind of a harsh viewpoint to adopt, but I’m pretty fed up with birds. Really. For awhile, only caged birds were annoying, because they make noise and you can’t really do much with them, and I guess I just don’t see the point of having a pet you cheap oakley can’t play with. But now I think it’s all birds, at least the smaller ones. Perhaps, though, it wasn’t the birds making noise at 4AM this morning while I was trying to make myself go to sleep. See, we stayed at a friend’s house and therefore were sleeping on the floor. Maybe it’s just that I’m really bad at sleeping on the floor. And so we left at 7:00 this morning because Abe had to work, and I’m thinking, well, I’ll just go to sleep when I get home. But instead I decided not to, I’m not sure why. This is the last chance I’ll have to sleep in my bed until we get back from Minneapolis Sunday.
Also, we got a cat.
