It's been cold and raining (a lot!) all weekend here in Dallas. This makes three weekends in a row that I've been off the bike. That may be a record. I feel fat and sluggish and frustrated, and if I wasn't still recovering from being sick I just might have been crazy enough to have gone out for a ride in this mess anyway. At least the sinus infection is about gone -- I've got one more day's worth of amoxicillin to go -- and we got to visit with The Daughter a little bit. Tomorrow morning we will have to leave before dawn to drop The Daughter off at the airport before hitting I-10 East.
That is, if the car starts.
A couple of hours ago I went to run an errand and the car wouldn't start. The battery was obviously quite low judging by the dim headlightsf, but I am not at all sure why. We borrowed some jumper cables and started it up, and it seemed fine. Since the battery is a few years old, I made a run out to the local Wal-Mart to pick up a new one and swapped it out. Let's hope that the problem was with the battery, because otherwise we'll be spending even more time here in D-town than planned, and believe me, we are ready to be back home at this point. It has been a very long weekend indeed.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Gina V who is pursuing a joint degree in medicine and bicycle racing, matched her top choice for her residency last Thursday. Looks like she'll be a resident at Emory in Emergency Medicine! Not too shabby.
I'm impressed.
