moving green.

i finally live somewhere.  i rode my bike cross town.

a bag on my back. a bag on each arm.

im an easty now.

oh yeah. this is my new racer.    bad ass.

coaster brake.  no slip with the wet, wet rain.

black widow

this is the black widow.  but due to high costs.
a complete lack of progressive values from airlines.
i could not afford to bring her to portland.

but for the future:  http://www.bikeleague.org/members/bikesflypolicies.php#policies

new babies.

my adventures in bicycle today.  i went to For Pete's Sake, a treasure of a thrift store that is part of St. Peters Hospital. They usually have amazing things. clothes. knick.knacks. bags. house stuff. jewelry.  

 today they happened to have a schwinn varsity.  "as is."  what i was most in love with,

 second to the green, was the height. super short.  i pick it up tomorrow.

i put the first coat of primer on my raleigh.  it is sooooo beautiful.

sorry raleigh.

sanding down the mustard. i am no truist to raleigh. 

i hope there isnt a deep offense to erasing this bicycles surname.

for starts.

.un.spent.

the kit was beautiful.  i am not sure what someone would need three bristle brushes for.  the glass tube for tooth brushes is the best i have ever seen.

i also got a new bike phone.  i am debating whether i should get rid of my att phone and use the mickey or if i should try and turn it into a noise machine.

i think the record players speak for themselves.

ready

today.  today i am becoming ready. stressed. ready. 
letting things roll off my back is a skill i feel i gained with patience. both virtues i hope to perfect. as they seem to come and go in this infant point.  i feel fairly confident about the next two weeks.  saying good byes for the second time this year in this town i have such strong feelings for.  watching my mother struggle with dillemmas.  remembering every thing will fall into place. 
one thing that i will gracefully reflect on today is a sense of confidence. confidence in choices, in self-awareness, in attitude, in self-preservation. in spite of always coming across as confident.  partly because i was.  i have been noticing a drastic change in the way that confidence feels.  my confidence in recent months seems less cocky. at times less contrived.  more sparsely noticed. although i cant say i recall noticing my feelings towards my confidence previously.  i feel a general positive disposition towards it now.  in simple terms. i like how my confidence has blossomed and i feel confident about where it is headed.  it feels healthy.

fenders reflected

 

borrowed the too high clunky raleigh from sava. i didnt have to use it. i got my schwinn back. thank goodness.  the couch is over priced and the picture is beautiful.

cant live without big eyes.
