sunny day

I'm sitting here at the computer eating strawberries and enjoying the weather- it's not too hot and not too cold with a mild breeze blowing. The pollen count is high (playing hell with my allergies) but the day couldn't be prettier if it tried.

I've been having trouble sleeping for whatever reason(s); last night I didn't fall asleep till 1AM but I slept like a rock- I woke up just before 10AM. I lay in bed listening to the birds (I throw seed out for them everyday; I enjoy watching them and the squirrels). After a brief period of doing nothing, I slipped on my biking clothes and went mountain biking.

The drive to the state park was nice, very little traffic, and I drove with the window down- my new truck rides beautifully. After putting some air in one of my bicycle tires, I rode for about five miles (I need to readjust the computer on the bike). Nothing hard and I didn't push it, I just enjoyed the ride. I still broke a decent sweat which felt good too.

Back home I finished off last nights leftover piece of steak by putting it between two slices of homemade bread (well I made it in the bread machine anyways). Two bottles of water and a shower later and I'm feeling great.

There's a ton of things I need to be doing, but right now sitting here on the deck seems like the most important. Living in the now I guess...

Sean and Christie are coming in this weekend so that should be fun. They'll be bringing my CaphalonOne cookware too- yeah! I have to admit, I spoil myself at times. I enjoy cooking and I've found that having decent cookware and utensils makes that more enjoyable. What the heck, the stuff should last my lifetime with proper care.

As for school, well my microbiology class has decided to go see the department head about our professor. We're tired of the bad attitude and pompous air- dude; you teach at a two year technical school, get over yourself. Your job is not to weed students out, but rather to teach them the key concepts they need to proceed with their academic careers. Everything else is going pretty well school-wise.

Well I should go do some studying…….
