Early yesterday . . . still catching up

30 July 2008, 0900

I'm tired today. I'm tired of working, and I'm tired of riding my bike everywhere. If I had a car today, I'd drive it. It's our second grey, bleary July day in a row, and I wonder how much I'm going to hate this once winter strikes.
I'm also tired of the perpetual helmet head; after a few days on the bike I can't do anything with my hair at all. Today it looks really, really good because I haven't put a helmet on over it in days. I feel a little twinge of despair as I smash down my perfect hair and buckle the strap under my chin.
