“Monday already?” is the groan on many a person’s lips today; and that includes me. As many say, you need a weekend to recover from the weekend!

Saturday morning I went to the salvage store. Riding home against a headwind felt hard; and I didn’t even have the trailer! It stayed cold all day; and I spent hours trying to stay in front of heater to stay warm. 

I couldn’t get myself away from that heater to do the washing until about 5 pm!

Yesterday morning, I did a long ride. I put some rice mix to cook after I got home; and from about 4 pm onwards was very busy cooking. I invented Northern Wilds; and concocted another garbage soup.

Last night I seemed to be half-awake much of the time. Maybe I guzzled too much green tea yesterday. For several months I’ve been trying to use that tea to nudge out the sodas; but I’m not doing very well at it. Of course I’m tired and sleepy today; and no wonder I’m griping about “Monday already”! In fact, at lunchtime I caved in and bought a Diet Coke to perk me up.

It’ll be another frigid ride tomorrow morning; but not as cold as yesterday was. Even so, 41 degrees is cold enough for double layers on my legs, and triple on my chest; and of course my nose will be up to its usual tricks. That drives me crazy; but if I\’m bound and determined to ride, I have to put up with it.

Now Monday is out of the way; and it will be a week it\’s \”Monday already\” again. Unfortunately it will come only too quickly!
