My weekend wasn't overly eventful, but I did get a couple of things accomplished that I've been meaning to do. First off, I went shopping for some new clothes. My waist is a bit bigger than what it was when I first started working from home (I'm still kind of a beanpole, though), and I've been outgrowing some of my pants. I finally broke down and headed out to do some clothes shopping on Saturday. I've been putting this off for a few months now, mainly because I really hate to do it, but it's over and done with now. I'm sure it'll be another year or two before I manage to get up the nerve to do it again.

Also, I got my parents to bring over our bikes yesterday. They've been rusting away in their garage for quite some time. I'm not sure whether it's one or two years they've been there. Whatever the case, the weather is getting warmer and we have a garage in which to store the bikes now, so my parents were kind enough to drop them off yesterday morning. Once they were gone, I took my bike out for a spin to make sure everything was in working order. Except for a bit of surface rust on the screws on the gearshift, everything is all good. I figure I can clean that surface rust off myself.

Now if I can just keep to my vow of riding each day, I'll be bit as fit a fiddle in a few weeks.
