So while the previous post was more dismal...this one is supposed to be happier. Not everything is terrible. There are a few key things that have very recently been good. Let me explain:

-I got a bike yesterday. This offers me a less expensive mode of transport. For my weak-ish self, I probably won't ride much during the day. Austin's going through a stretch of record breaking heat, according to Jim Spencer on KXAN. Today I rode at about 5:30PM (still hot) with my laptop on my back. It was kinda difficult for me. Hopefully I will build my strength over time. However, I will not become a bike snob. I'm always complaining about them because they act like they own the roads over here. To me it's like this *humans:animals::cars:bikes*. I was going to explain this, but it's too much right now. Basically, we're more advanced than animals, so we rule. Cars are more advanced than bikes, so they rule. Anyway, as someone on a bike, I'll always give the car the space and the right. Because the car will always win the battle. The bike is fun. New adventures with the bike. And maybe a picture soon.

-I made egg salad yesterday. It's so delicious. I had a sandwich with egg salad on it a few weeks ago at Thundercould and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. I had to try to make my own. It turned out so good. I can't stop eating egg salad sandwiches. Hopefully I'll get tired of them soon.

-I was at home over the weekend for Father's Day. My sister and I had to go shopping to get a present for my dad. While we were out my sister suggested shopping a little bit for ourselves and I agreed because I wanted a shirt to wear out that night. While we were looking my sister pulled out a dress from the rack at Express. She said it was cute and wanted me to try it on. It was on sale for $40, but then we looked at the tag at it was actually only $30. I saw the size "4". I can only consider that my size anymore if I'm lucky. I tried it on anyway and it fit perfectly! I hadn't been that excited about a clothes in so long. It's gray, very fitted and hits below the knee. AND...the clincher...I can put it in the washing machine.

Those are some of my happy things.
