urgh

I rode my bike to the hardware store today! I had not ridden a bike in years! I needed to buy a small stepladder (along with a drop cloth - I'm finally painting the bathroom and bedroom!) so that made it a little awkward but I hung it from the handlebars and that worked. BUT I had not taken into account that I live at the top of a hill. I had to walk up the last bit and then I collapsed on the couch for a little while.

Now I want Taco Bell for lunch. I COULD ride my bike - there are a lot of stores close enough to my house that I can start biking to them, it's so cool - but I'm still a little tired :(

AND I need energy to start painting. I have all the supplies I need now, no more stalling!

OK, driving to Taco Bell and then I'll get painting.

Mmm, taco salad (hold the beef, extra beans).

ETA: It was not a big ladder! It's about 2 feet high. So it easily balanced on my handlebars. I'm not THAT crazy ;)

progress!

Taco salad: eaten
Coat of primer in the bathroom: done (almost - there's a tricky bit behind the toilet that I'm going to do after the rest of it dries, or else I'll get wet paint all over my back trying to reach)
