Would you like cheese with that?
It’s been a “Chicken Soup for the Soul” kind of week. In the last few years, I’ve learned that there are some things I can control and others I can’t. So, how to deal with this control issue? Look for what I CAN control and rely on support of friends for the rest.
Soothing the soul from within:
- Finishing a good book
- “Blazing fast” SS ride at Beatty yesterday
- Dropping a couple of guys at Beatty
- Taking time away from the cell phone
- Just for s*its and giggles - put in for the maintenance manager’s job at the new Whitewater Park. It sounded like fun. I really want to see those huge pumps (SEVEN 750 hp pumps - 536,000 gpm!)
- *Considering* doing the Burn 24-hour race solo. Putting a plan in place to see if it’s feasible or even smart to do a solo 24-hour, a National-level XC race and a solo 12-hour all in a month. (With a Dirt Diva trip sandwiched in the middle.)
I get by with a little help from my friends (even if they don’t realize it):
- A nice surprise from Taryn - a SWEET sock cap, hand-knit. It’s actually supposed to get cold next week. Maybe I can still use it this year…
- A nice long talk with Nikki last night
- I got told twice last week that I looked skinnier
And, the coup de grâce,
ROAD TRIP!!!
That’s right, the “Rank Women’s Auxiliary”, sometimes referred to as “the wall of ice”, or “WOI”, is headed to Myrtle Beach Friday morning. Now, I don’t think I’m actually a card-carrying member of WOI, but a Rank I am. (I’ve been told I’m too “nice” to be WOI) We’ll be selling raffle tickets at some redneck-car-fest to raise money for the MS Society. But, when we’re not doing that, I’m already told that BitchAnne’s liquor is packed and the champagne for mimosas is already cold. Seafood, here I come! Driving down there with 6 girls packed into one vehicle, and staying at K1’s parent’s house. Should be a blast. I feel like I’m harkening back to the days of College Beach Weekends…
