A cold start to the season

so my wife's car broke down today... that in and of itself isn't a
horrid thing, but she was also in a bit of a fender bender a couple of
weeks ago so along with getting the engine fixed, we need to get some
autobody work done. It's the type of thing that's more annoying than
anything else. I don't handle car stuff well, I get stressed out...
and when I'm tired and stressed out I get irritable (which is probably
putting it kindly). In any case, with the car in the shop, we're down
to one vehicle which means that tomorrow, I get on a bike for the
first time since July.

Isn't that a sad statement? I picked up a freelance job a few months
ago when a friend of a friend relocated to Colorado Springs to head up
marketing for a local medical company. The friend we have in common
recommended to her that she look me up and that I might be able to
help her out. She did, and since then I've been working two jobs. It's
been great for being able to pay off some debt but it meant that it
threw my workout regiment out the window. Everything stopped. I've
been to the Y a few times, but for the most part I just stopped
exercising all together.

I know I need to change but it's been a matter of not knowing where to
start, or about being annoyed that I even have to start at all. I wish
it were easier, but maybe, having to ride to work while this vehicle
is getting fixed, I can start back up again... now if only this
vehicle thing would turn out to be cheaper than I think it's going to
be.

Off to bed. I'll report more about how it (painfully) goes tomorrow.

Sometimes the Lord motivates you in what we consider weird ways but this could be a blessing.
