(I should have posted this last week)
But it’s my son who is now in the midst of his own “12 days of Xmas”: starting last Wednesday, he will work for 12 days straight, yes, including Christmas Day. Welcome to adulthood, son! He is planning to go in a little earlier on Christmas Day itself so he can hopefully slide out by noontime…
Meanwhile, I feel like a slacker for having the weekend off & riding two days in a row. The guilt level is moderate since I’ve still got a few things to acquire as far as Christmas gifts & I feel as if I’m neglecting my mother even though there doesn’t seem to be much I can do for her at this point…. Yesterday’s offering was two varieties of Happy Meals since I wasn’t sure if she would prefer a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets - turned out she ate four chicken nuggets. (Her appetite is flagging as she spends most of her days in bed)
I rode Mr. Silas on Saturday & grabbed Baraquinator for Sunday since I misapprehended the time - my friend Sam is rarely early for anything so when he said 11 AM I took him at his word. I was dismayed when he texted me at 10:30 to say he was there! (I’m 25 minutes away from the AT&T trailhead) Then I raced home to meet my former padawan Tony who wants to get back into the riding scene - always great to see him and I’m sure I can get him saddled up safely. Ho ho ho!!!
Glad you are getting some riding time in! Savor and ignore the guilt. Self-care is a good thing, too!
