I ride my bike to and from work everyday. Today, I had to work at 5 am, which means that it is still dark outside. I always ride with lights when I need them. This morning was no different, I left about 4:30 in the morning. About a mile away from my house, I came upon an intersection. As I rode through the intersection, I noticed that an SUV was approaching to turn right. The SUV was going a little too fast to come to a stop in time and the driver locked up the brakes of the vehicle. I had just enough room and time to swerve to the left in order to miss being hit. As I moved over quickly, I looked to my right, as I was expecting impact and pain. Luckily, the vehicle missed me by inches and I was relieved. My heart was racing and my body was full of adrenaline. I thought that I was going to spend the day in the hospital, but it turned out to be just a close call.

Favs

I just ate my favorite dinner, nothing exciting about it, but I love tacos. My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. My favorite fruits are bananas, peaches, and blackberries. My favorite vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower, and artichokes.

These are a few things that I eat on a regular basis and I think it would be hard for me to give them up. I think that these things help maintain my personal happiness. I am most passionate about my bike and I will not give it up, no matter how many injuries and surgeries that I have. I ride to and from work everyday. I think this also contributes to my happiness by reducing stress.

This week has been a struggle because of stress. I am not enjoying my classes like I did in the past. I think it is mostly because of the stress in my life. Procrastination feels like it is taking over my life. I am not giving up, I just need to find my second wind. I hope I can push full steam ahead very soon.

This day is Tuesday

I feel like I am living in Northern California again with all this rain. I really love the warm weather and sunshine. Today I did not ride my bike to work, so I am not soaking wet from the ride home. I could live without the rain even though I know that we need it to water many things. The smell is nice, but I will stay inside and smell it from inside my house. I say thanks for the rain today and hope to stay dry tomorrow.
