mousmeThe rain conspired to keep me away from my good resolution: I am not yet equipped to bike to work in the rain. So I walked to the metro instead, which still makes for a little bit of exercise.
This weekend's plans now involve getting some waterproof gear and some proper bike shorts so that this will no longer hamper my biking efforts. I'm not looking forward to hiking all the way out to MEC (they are far from public transport, drat them), but I may do so anyway to show support.
The biking is going well, otherwise. The last two days I actually managed to bike all the way up Courcelles, without having to get off and walk my bike at all. I am very pleased with this. I also got my lights attached to my bike with duct tape to prevent them flopping around, and this amuses me to no end. One day I'm sure I'll be technically proficient enough to install them without using The Force, but for now the duct tape will have to suffice.
The date has been set for the Great Move (when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ai731 and t! move not too far away from the Godforsaken Howling Wilderness, and I take over the downstairs apartment): Saturday, August 30th. I am very excited, but also vaguely anxious because suddenly I have a lot less time to pack than I thought I did. Part of me knows that I have very little to pack, overall, and that I can do it in a few days' time. That means that starting now would be ridiculous and counter-productive. Another part of me is panicking because, and I quote, "it'll never get done in time." Ridiculous.
Oh well.
Tomorrow marks my eight-month anniversary at the RCMP. It feels like no time at all has gone by.
