My eyes hurt
Jul. 21st, 2008 05:22 amNo more wearing contacts during night shift. I will wear my glasses even though contacts are more comfortable for biking. Owie.
In biking news, I made it halfway up the hill on Atwater (from Sherbrooke to Côte-des-Neiges) yesterday on my way to visit my parents. I stopped halfway up (wheezing attractively) and walked the rest of the way, but it's a long, steep climb, so halfway up is pretty good if I do say so myself. A little bit at a time, and soon I will be a biking machine!
I'm really enjoying being a cyclist thus far. Even the rain today didn't daunt me: I pulled out my rain jacket (which turned out to be a whole lot less waterproof than I thought) and put on an older pair of jeans. I packed my work jeans in a plastic bag, and rode to work in the rain. It wasn't great, but it was still better than BMW.
I promise that I will eventually start talking about something other than biking. It's just that it's the new shiny in my life right now, and at least I'm not talking about my upcoming move, right? ;)
Today (it's technically Monday already), apart from sleeping, I have obtained a car from Communauto, with which I will go grocery shopping, stop at MEC for some clips for my pants and some waterproof gear, and pick up a bunch of moving boxes. Then I will go to bed for the rest of the day. I am looking forward to bed.
