My Bike マダリーン(Madeline)The View From My Apartment
Airing Out the Futon
I rode my bike for the 1st time this past Tuesday (it needed some repairs)...it was scary. I seriously tipped/fell over three times. Once on the way to work...actually that time I rode into a ditch/pit/rain gutter...they're huge here...and the other two times on the way home. I actually had my purse fall out of the basket in the back...I have a basket in the front and the back of my bike. Luckily, the purse was at the scene of the latter spill and I found it quickly...it's not easy finding a black purse in the dark with no light. Needless to say...I have to work on this. I find that I am okay if I think about it like I'm driving a car...then I'm fine for some reason. It's only when I freak out because someone (or something) is too close and I'm afraid that I might hit them that I mess up (don't worry, I haven't hit anyone/thing). So now my purse always goes in the front basket and I don't think I will be wearing heels...even small ones to work for awhile...it appears to help the situation. Granted I think I need to find some new shoes as mine keep falling off while I ride...my co-workers think I'm hilarious.
Today I played housewife and cleaned my apartment. It's incredibly easy as there isn't much to be cleaned. I love the vacuum cleaners here! They work amazingly well. I also aired out my futon...on the balcony...since that is what you're supposed to do here. I think tonight I will go to that movie I meant to see last weekend, but we'll see.
