my spring break needs more break in it, or something

New Spring Day


"So," I thought, "I tried biking on that clear day last month, and it was really easy, and I was surprised at how good shape I was in given that I hadn't biked since getting hit last summer. It's turned really nice today. Why don't I bike to my chiropractor appointment in Bothell?"

It turns out that I really am in surprisingly good shape given that I haven't really biked since the accident last summer... for about two, two and a half miles. After that, I'm not. So bolting out the door at 15mph or so was not the best solution. On the other hand, I did make it up the hill on the way back, so that's something.

I have another trip to make to Bothell tomorrow; I'm going to try the bike again, but I think I'll take my time this trip.

Last week of class miles: 6.8, I think.
Finals week miles: 5.4, I think.
Monday's miles: 10.0, almost entirely biking.
Miles out of Hobbiton: 1577.9
Miles out of Rivendell: 1120.9
Miles out of Lothlórien: 665.9
Miles past Rauros Falls: 248.0
Miles to Isengard: 218.7

I stopped by campus while out running my zillion errands today, to try to enroll in Music 137 (Class Voice Instruction - Beginning), which is cheap at only two credits and which was open yesterday but the online registration system has never, ever worked for me, not even once. So of course, I'm now on the waitlist. Oh well, at least I'm first. Hopefully I'll get lucky.

So far I've spent my spring break making up all the errands and stuff I hadn't been keeping up with while school was in session. Gods, I'm boring. I need a real vacation.

You scored as Antoninus Pius. Your attention to good character and stability has earned you your standing as Antoninus Pius. Your long and moderate reign is probably one of the most peaceful epics in human history up to the modern age. It is too bad more emperors did not share your humility. </td> Antoninus Pius 64% Augustus 61% Hadrian 61% Nerva 57% Claudius 57% Marcus Aurelius 54% Nero 50% Trajan 50% Vespasian 46% Tiberius 43% Domitian 43% Vitellius 39% Caligula 25% Commodus 21% Which Roman Emperor Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

Beautiful photo. I often wish I owned a bike, but if I did the bike would own me. I have horrible balance XD

I wish I had a vacation. I've been working as a temp for about a year and a half now with no breaks and only the very basic of holidays. I really want a week off to not think about work. I should go on strike and spend a week in a forest somewhere. LOL I hope the rest of your break is enjoyable :)

spazzkat's old camera has a pretty good macro function if you focus manually. The detail in the full-resolution version (not posted) is pretty nice. ^_^

I imagine the flower will be opening today or tomorrow, with that colour. I've got some more flowers I want to shoot, too. Yay spring! ^_^

Macro shots are the best :) My camera has decent macro setting, but I long for the day I can get a camera with more manual options.

If the weather is nice this weekend, I think I might drive to one of the local parks and have a photo frenzy. I do hope you post more pictures, they're lovely. Makes me feel inspired to go outside and take some myself. Thanks!
