today started at 12.30 am, i woke up with the leg of my pjs blood-welded onto the recently refinished scab area on my calf. so i went in to the bathroom to remove them and found a way to make myself nauseous by peeling it off. i read for two hours unable to sleep, those nutty mormons crack me up! the way they all talk to god is so nice. one after another with the revelations! so the three hours of sleep i managed to get didn't quite prepare me for the challenge of little b. he was quiet for the trip to get mail but aside from that he was the child-care equivalent of paris-roubaix. i wanted to stay busy so he would be tired and active and all the stuff you do to keep a baby interested. but i faded before he did and we had a mexican stand off, i lost. we went to the grocery and decided on a truce for the 45 minutes it took us to fill the list, oh yeah and the $100 we spent. we only forgot a few things that were on the list and remembered one thing that wasn't. no ride today, it snowed all day outside and the rollers weren't calling today, too tired and blown out from the race yesterday and the day today with b. shaubie cooked this really good dinner from the la travigne cookbook, the restaurant where we ate in st. helena on our honeymoon. chicken and potatoes with a rosemary-italian parsley pesto and really good spinach salad. no junk food from the store today, i did however fall of the wagon and get a donut on the way to get mail. i was reading about tim hortons support of the canadian cycling federation and i just wanted a donut! i got a fritter, different from my usual choice (bearclaw) but i was lacking in the calorie department, or at least i thought i was. i bribed a guy to get me the stone for my shed today, and the lumber showed up. i can't wait to get it done so i can hang all the bikes and be organized. and not have to go under the house to get a bike out.
