The Stuff of Nightmares

the stuff of nightmares dream hybrid bicycle

I call it the stuff of nightmares when I dream that something goes wrong with my bicycle!

Last night I dreamed that I was riding the hybrid somewhere; and after a halt for a stop sign, the bicycle’s wheels suddenly wouldn’t turn! I don’t know what made me dream that; but dreams are weird.

The totals at a store’s check-out often seem like the stuff of nightmares, too. I rode to Whole Foods this morning; and YIKES! I spent $72.26; and that’s a lot!

It wasn’t all food, though. My preferred sunblock was on sale; and when it is, I’ll buy some even if I have four tubes at home already! I got two tubes; and that right there was nearly $26.

My steamer basket is positively ancient; and I decided to get a new one. I bought dish soap, too; and about half my total was non-food stuff.

I found Nuun on sale; so I got some of that, too. It will keep; and I decided to buy a few RXBars for ride food.

I LOVE maple; and I love salt. It’s a win-win!

After I was home from Whole Foods, I got ready to go out on the road bike. The forecast said the wind was 9 mph, but it was more like 12 mph; and up to 17 mph by the time I got back home. Wind sure can be the stuff of nightmares!

I hope it won’t be as windy tomorrow. I want to go to the salvage store; and I want to take the trailer. Wind, of course, makes hauling that thing harder.

Sunday looks like it will be cloudy again; and I hope any T-storms hold off until afternoon — not only for my ride, but for Easter egg hunts!
