Looking Good & Feeling Old!

Well my years of denial are over, kids!

I've always prided myself into thinking that time has yet to make its faithful trip across my face. I guess it's too busy making the journey across the rest of my body.

I’m finally ready to admit, I’m old and SOOO OUT OF SHAPE!!

As I stated previously, I am almost at the two-month checkpoint of not having a car or a licence. And being the independent white woman I am, I don’t want to depend on the kindness of friends and family to cart my lazy ass around. So I came up with the brilliant idea of dusting off the old 10-speed and bringing it back with me to Haverhill.

Today I had to go to CVS to fill a perception & then go to City Hall to get a rebate on my excise tax (if I’m known I was going to get so much money back, I’d have totaled my car moths ago, j/k).

Of course I did not take into consideration that the town of Have-Hill for a reason this for a reason. There are too many freakin hills!

So there I was, hyperventilating as I pedaled downtown with my super-sized Slurpee in one hand and my over the shoulder satchel on the other side. I looked like a middle-aged Ellen Page in the movie Juno.

However, as long as the weather stays nice and I motivate myself to take a ride every day, I bet by the time it is for me to get my licence back, I’ll have the legs and thighs of Xenia Onatopp from the Bond flick, GoldenEye.
