Three days in a row on the bike...I haven't done that since September! Today we were back doing the Rocky Mount ride in the north hills. It was supposed to be a recovery ride but it turned into something a little faster and there were numerous attacks on the hills (not from me!). I'm slowly getting back into shape as I did this ride a little better than last Sunday. I hung in for a longer time, was able to catch back on if I got dropped, but I still have a long way to go. We did about 40 miles, so I was able to total about 120 miles from Friday to Sunday. I hope to get to a point soon where I get many more miles than that in just the Saturday and Sunday rides. I am definitely taking Monday off!
I spent much of the morning sorting through the closet of my junk/bike room. I got rid of so many T-shirts today, many of them to be donated, others as cleaning rags. I kept anything that had been designed by me (about 25 years worth of T-shirts right there) or had significant memories attached to them. But I must have tossed out over 50 shirts. Then I moved a lot of my clothes, the more casual stuff, to that closet. I'm emptying out the bigger part of the bedroom closet for Jonnene to put her stuff when she gets here as I move my better clothes and boxes to the smaller section. But the junk room closet looks good! Hopefully the rest of the room will follow suit.
Jonnene has her interview with the US Consulate in Sydney this Wednesday. She arrives there on Tuesday and returns to Perth on Thursday. Hopefully the return to the west coast will be one to celebrate because she should have her visa number and approval by that time if some beaurocrat (sp?) doesn't screw it up. I'm already working the plans to drive out to California to pick her up and bring her back to Louisiana. There's so much to do...it seems even more involved than the wedding was, at least from my point of view. I'll get into more of that as time goes on. I'm just ready to get her here!
