Day 4 - when plans go awry or when Mother Nature is a bitch!!!

Well, yesterday did not go as planned. I hate making plans and then having them fall apart. I was supposed to go to the park and ride. I had my route already planned. Actually I had my whole evening planned. I was going to eat dinner before I left work. We have a subway in the building and that would work great. I did that, check first task accomplished. I went straight from work to the Wal-mart to get some groceries. Apparently you are what you eat and I determined that I was a big pile of crap. I decided that I should probably change my diet to something a tad healthier. I mean woman cannot live by Lean Cuisine alone and that was pretty much lunch and dinner. Lean pocket for breakfast, and could I have a side order of lazy ass with that. Ok, I admit it a significant lack of actual cooking. Whatever I never said I was a domestic goddess. Goddess, yes, domestic no. So, the next stop on my checklist was the Wal-mart to get the required healthy foods, you know fruits and vegetables. I got the brown rice and some chicken. Eggs, of course I will only eat the egg whites. Not so bad because I really don’t like the yolks unless they are fried and well that kind of defeats the whole eating better, and making myself healthier while I am getting ready for this road race…don’t be fooled they may call it that but this sistah is not racing. My goal is to stay on the bike, and remain conscious for the entire event. Ok, so I was able to get in and out of Wal-mart in 20 minutes. I am not sure that has ever been done. FYI grocery shop there on a Wednesday and you have no lines. Who knew? Get home. My next step is to put all the groceries away and get changed. I get this done. So, here we go out to the drive to put the bike rack on the car and the bikes on the bike rack. Jake has decided he is going and will be riding his bike while we are there. Everyone piles into the mom car and off to the park we go. I have these new Harley Davidson sunglasses. They have the yellow lenses so that when it is overcast it blocks the UV rays, but it also makes everything brighter. They are pretty cool. Anyway, I have these on and it looks just fine and then the rain starts falling. Just a little so I think we are fine. It is 73 degrees little sprinkle, no big deal. We get to the park and the little sprinkle gets harder and harder and Now it is only 68 degrees. Good lord what the hell is all that about. I stand outside of the car trying to decide if I should ride or not. It is only sprinkling and then the wind hits my bare legs that are wet. Hell no I am not riding. Now I am freezing. So, the trip to the park was a bust. It is now too late to go to the gym. Well shit, I hate nature. I did the only other reasonable thing you can in this situation. I got an ice cream and went home and sulked.
