what a bummer

had great plans for today. i took a vacation day and decided not to go home to albany till tonight. i figured, "a whole day in philadelphia?! why not take a stay-cation?!"

then everyone bailed on the biking in fairmount park alongside the cherry trees idea.

then i decided to go by myself anyway. then i got all ready, pumped up my bike tires, packed a lunch, and started on my way to the train station.

then i was going up some relatively minor hills. then my heart started pounding. then i couldn't breathe easily. then i started feeling dizzy.

then i stopped to rest/drink water. then i had to stay sitting down so long i missed my train. then i realized i should just go home and sit outside to eat my picnic lunch in the backyard.

then i felt sorry for myself bc my stay-cation was ruined. then i realized it's really not ruined. because i'm going to the thrift store, to find a local park, to eat dinner with the hardmans, to go to the maundy thursday service at church. then to drive home to albany on traffic-less roads.

good thing it's always sunny in philadelphia~
