This is how I get things done. Or don't...

I did it, I did it!! I'm so proud of me! My goal this summer (also last summer, but I failed) was to be able to bike up the big hill on Fulton St, which I go down to get downtown (fitting) and have to go back up to get home.

My brother graduated this weekend! From the University of Michigan! And we are all so proud!! So I was out of town this weekend, seeing the sights of Ann Arbor, where he's been living for much of the last four years.

I opened the door again ( Read more... )

We took a bike ride today. While circling the pond at a nearby park, we rode by bushes where some red-wing blackbirds live (they were there previous years too, I recall). And... one of them attacked the back of my head! Gyah!! My mum got attacked too. It was crazy. But we survived unharmed ( Read more... )
