Things seem to have a way of happing everything at once. For example, why do expenses tend to come in clusters?

I just had a tune-up done for the hybrid. The road bike needed a new chain and a new rear derailer hanger.

I have to have oral surgery; and it\’s almost time to pay the December rent. At least one pair of my cycling shorts needs replacing. Then, while I was riding this morning, the clear lenses fell out of my Tifosis®!

I heard them hit the pavement; but who knows what happened to them after that. They may have bounced, and ended up in the grass alongside the path. I spent several minutes looking for them; but had to give up and head home. It was still dark (as usual); and I had to get ready to go to work.

If I can\’t buy replacement lenses, I\’ll have to buy another pair of those glasses. Yet another bite out of the budget, not to mention it\’s time to be doing my Christmas shopping.

Everything at once; and I hope all this doesn\’t break the bank!
