I got a call Wednesday from a client who’s home I hadn’t been to in a few weeks. He was warning me that I was going to have a long day at his house when I next was scheduled to visit. Yup. It was. Put away Christmas ornaments, cleaned/organized the playroom, did most of the regular chores there.

By the time I left it was dark outside. I really don’t like biking in the dark on certain roads. The shoulder on this particular one isn’t very wide, and my lights aren’t very powerful. I started on a downhill portion of the ride and realized that a heavy fog had moved in. It was starting to rain. The problem with my headlamp is that when it shines through the fog, all I can see is lit up fog. I couldn’t really see the road anymore. I figured I could stay on the road if I kept my light on the yellow line, so I adjusted it to shine in the middle of the road, but then I was riding in the middle of the road. And I had to slow to a crawl when cars came up the hill, because I couldn’t see *anything* with headlights in my eyes. When I was almost at the end, I nearly got sandwiched between cars coming down the hill and cars coming up the hill. Better in the ditch than dead! I didn’t actually get in the ditch, but I was pretty close to it. Very unnerving. I was so glad to reach the end of the road and get to the bus stop.

But anyway! It’s FRIDAY! And my work schedule now allows for weekends off :) Very happy about that.

In other news, I quit my retail job (at Harbor Freight Tools).
