Road Cycling season ahoy! A fast FYI for #CyclingBlueSky about me:
* I support Tadej Pogačar & Jasper Philipsen. (& many others, but they are my 🌟 guys)
* I don't do flame wars or ragebaiting. Supporting riders is much more fun!
* I have to get up early for races, ya'll. Have mercy on me. 💤😆

I took today off from work to decompress from the very busy holiday weekend.
I wake up to Wout’s CX schedule (let’s gooooooo!!) and plan to spend the rest of the day decorating and watching the new Stranger Things.
Happy December, everyone!!

I am amused that everyone is doing the profanity count right now…I try not to curse too much here because I know some people don’t care for it.
In meatspace, I curse like a drunken sailor who just found out their leave was cut short. 😆
Well, maybe not that bad, but I do let the spicy language fly!

How was that NOT a straight red card for Caicedo immediately?? And then the play acting afterwards. 😑
Took a VAR to get him off the pitch. Gah. He is such a…grrr. He and Chelsea deserve each other.

And just when you think #Flobikes could get any worse, they’ve started running ads DURING the race, squeezing the race picture down to the corner and muting the commentary.

I have spent 6 hours in the last two days, at the behest of family, watching Wicked.
I love musical theatre, but beside some set design & “Defying Gravity,” a straight up BANGER, this one was not for me (I kinda wanted to set G(a)linda on fire 🤣).
*sneaks off to watch Jesus Christ Superstar again*

I hope everyone is having a good weekend…my group knocked out a ton of shopping yesterday, sticking to small local shops as much as possible. Got myself a few nice things too.
Today is the last full day of visitors, and I’m about to cook up some breakfast and get to work on more decor! 💨💨💨

Good morning, and Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🦃
While the myth around the holiday is just that, a myth, the idea of a day to be thankful is still a solid one. I am more than grateful for all that I have and for all of you. ❤️
Also, it’s a great day to donate to the First Nations!

I went out on an escort ride with my runner friend this morning, and we were charged by a pack of large hunting dogs.
I skidded to a stop in front of my runner, held up my hands, and yelled “STOP!” They must have been trained, because they did stop, but we had to retreat quickly and carefully.
