A Break

(Week 5, Days 5-6, Friday-Saturday, July 9 & 10)

I'm taking a break this weekend, partially by choice. My husband, Patrick/Frac/Fozzie/Gloodin of Doodin, is filming the last episodes of the "The Carrier" web series in Raleigh over the weekend, and I've gone with him. I guess I didn't have to go, but... well, it's the last episodes! So here I sit writing things like this while he's busy becoming famous.

This probably isn't a good weekend to slack off, but it's too late now. And, to make matters worse, all I've really been doing is sitting around eating junk food, working crosswords, and eating more junk fod. I bet I'll gain a few unnecessary pounds which won't help me ride any faster or longer.

But I like junk food.

In other news, here's the update on my cyclocomputer: It's useless. I checked online to see if I could find it anywhere or any valuable inormation about it. All I found was bad review after bad review. Apparently the one I have, which has lasted me nearly 3 years, was an anomoly. Most reviews I read noted that theirs quit on them after a mere 3-6 months of use. There were several testimonials of people who had bought new batteries, just as I have, and were still unable to revive the machines. Oh well.

I suppose my options are to either order a new one offline and pay astronomical shipping prices to get it here in time for RTR, or I can go to Great Escape, where things are slightly overpriced, and hope they have a decent one on hand. I'm currently leaning towards the G.E. option so I don't have to wait for it to come in the mail and I can begin using it right away. In the meantime, though, I'll keep giving my current computer CPR in hopes that it wil rise again.
