So apparently the hurricane or tropical storm or whatever that's in the Gulf of Mexico is coming inland and somewhat affecting us. It's odd to be living in an area that's affected by hurricanes. All we've had is a bit of rain and one little piece of thunder. Hoping for more...!
Diet and jogging is going okay... I sort of pulled a muscle in my right calf though yesterday. Sigh.
Michael's on track to do 14,000 cycling miles for the year! He's crazy. A lot of that is commuting to work. I've entertained the idea, but the thought of cycling in rush hour... gah! I went to a bike shop to get a new saddle, since mine is just not very comfortable on long rides. I had heard about an Ass-o-meter (not the technical term, but I can't remember what it's called) that measures your seat bone width to determine what size saddle you need. I asked if I could get "measured", and the employee had me sit on this gel-like thing. I felt odd, to say the least. He measured me at 130 or so, but said I'd probably need a 143. I'm not entirely sure why he thought that, and should have asked, but oh well. So I zoned in on a Specialized Jett saddle that has a deep cutout made specifically for women, bought it, got home, and had immediate buyer's remorse. The damn thing is white!! How I didn't think of that when I actually bought it is beyond me. It doesn't look bad, but... I don't know. It's just different. I'll have to just see how my arse feels after a long ride. I'm allowed 30 days to bring it back if it doesn't work, which is nice.
I am SICK of BUGS!!!! I thought Omaha was bad. Texas has these teeny tiny little light brown invisible bastards that crawl on your skin and bite you. They're everywhere. A couple weeks ago, I went outside to play with the dogs, and was out there for maybe 5 minutes and went back inside with about 10 mosquito bites. I've murdered probably two dozen tiny black ants at work with a pencil eraser, and my skin is constantly crawling whenever I'm at my desk. And today, I was walking Jaiden, and felt something odd in between my toes, like a leaf or something. I look down, and saw this brown stuff all over. I thought it was just vegetation stuff, but on closer inspection, I noticed I had literally hundreds of tiny brown ants crawling on my sandals and feet!!! UGH! I had to wash my sandals AND MY FEET in the sink! And now I'm sitting here positively itching all over in paranoia.
