Okay so I was calmer this morning when I woke up than I was last night, to begin with. Getting ready to go went all smooth, blah blah. Walked outside to grab my water bottle for refill, and it was raining. Not heavily, but raining. Now, normally, Chris is supposed to wake me up and tell me 'hey, it's raining, do you need me to take you in?' He didn't. Also, the only raincoat he left me was the one with the fleece inside. I took it, but as I suspected it was WAY too hot to wear to bike to school on a morning that was already like 70+ degrees.

So I got to the Clinch/Henley crossing and stopped to take the raincoat off. The light changed to green and back while I was taking it off, y'know, blah, whatever, no big deal. Crossing the street seemed difficult and on the second half of the crossing I looked down - my front tire was flat.

This is ridiculous. I mean seriously. Some vengeful or simply mischievous god really doesn't like me biking to school every day. Or something. I don't know if I need to change my route again to avoid the construction, or get a puncture-resistant tire for the front, or just get a new bike because this one is cursed. I walked the rest of the way to school; it took 30 minutes. And then, to add injury to insult, while I was putting my backpack away at the gym, I knocked a chunk of skin off my right little finger at the proximal interphalangeal joint.

What is the rest of the day going to be like? For that matter, what's the rest of the SUMMER going to be like? Things are NOT going smoothly right now.

While Tony was commuting from Alexandria VA to Maryland over the bridge that was next to the new one they built, we had to replace 6 car tires in 1 year. At one point 5 of the 5 tires in one car had multiple nails in them. (We replaced 4 then and 2 later).

Yes, it really is the construction.
