I meant to bike to work today. I really did. But then the weather guy said there was a chance of rain. Well, to be fair, he said it “probably wouldn’t” rain, but that it was possible, especially everywhere in the state except my county. But still, who wants to bike in the rain, especially with a computer on my back! That’s right, I couldn’t risk my computer, and that’s why I couldn’t bike to work.

This resolve lasted for a few minutes… about 12. And then I realized that it really wasn’t going to rain. This is the weather guy that predicted snow 4 days out of 5 last winter, but very little snow actually fell. He just really likes his precipitation.

But then! I was packing my lunch (wasn’t I being a good girl this morning!) and realized that I wanted a mug of iced coffee to take with me to work. Not only that, but I can’t just buy this at or near work, and I’m not allowed to have an “unapproved” beverage container at work. Approved beverage containers are spill-resistant. Their lids screw on. So I can’t buy coffee on the way, either, unless I get it put into an approved container. But I can’t bike while holding a travel mug of coffee. And besides, it might rain, and I’m carrying my computer.

So I didn’t bike to work today.
