I’m still feeling pretty sad about Iggy being gone. Every time I go into the bathroom I notice her absence. She used to hang out there on the window sills for most of the day. And it’s not a room I can avoid, unless we build an outhouse. When I feed Maude there’s only one cat and it sucks. We just had the two of them for so long it seems weird to see one and not the other.
The vet called today to see how things turned out which was really nice of them. I wish I had a happier story to tell.
I am glad we found out it was her heart. If we hadn’t, I’m pretty sure I would have been convinced that she had gotten into poison or something while we were outside and Maude would probably have never gotten another field trip outside ever again due to my paranoia. Though I think I may have to overcome a little of that anyway before I take her out again. I’ll have to have a few good trips outside before I stop associating it with badness.
I know this is another depressing post. Sorry about that. But I gotta write what’s on my mind. I feel like 2010 has not been a very good year for me. I’m sure my overall sense of it’s badness is is only related to my current state of mind but I’m tired and still trying to adapt to a lot of new routines in my life. I can handle change in technology better than change in my life.
On the up side we’re probably going to order the folding bike in the next few days. Brian is almost convincing me that I need one too. I’m a sucker for bikes, so it’s not that hard of a sell.
Also my weight is still declining. Yay diet. I haven’t been biking a lot during the week but I’ve been doing some longish rides on the weekend. My aunt and I, and maybe my cousin, are planning on trying to ride around Seneca Lake sometime this fall. I believe it’s about 77 miles. I’m hoping to commute at least once this week and really pick it back up when Brian starts school next week.
totally impressed with the miles you can put on your bike!!! I do 25 and I’m crying for the day.
Yeah. It depends on the day for me. And I do start to crumble around 50 miles at this point. But the trek520 makes a big difference for me. I could ride a long way on the hybrid but it was more effort. I still need to condition my neck muscles for longer rides on the 520. That’s usually what gives out for me first. I can keep going… I just can’t look at the road ahead of me.
