Strangedays

Today has been strange. I helped someone this morning with an errand that made me feel giddy and odd and wistful. I drove through huge puddles that made something in my car ominously squealy. I drank too much coffee. I bought some new clothes. I thought about how I wish I still had my leopard print umbrella--it withstood a winter of London rain and wind without trouble, only to be lost somewhere in Boston. That was 10 years ago, and I still miss it. Silly.

And then I came home and discovered that someone had stolen my bike off of the back porch sometime while I was out. (Fuck you, whoever you are. And me, too, for not bringing it down to the basement like I should have.)

And the rain is pouring, pouring, and I don't have any firm plans for tonight or tomorrow, and I'm feeling a little lonely and desperate and disconnected and weird and pissed off and upset about my bike and also cracked out from the coffee. It's a strange day, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do with myself.

Maybe your bike wasn't stolen, maybe you are going to be on an upcoming episode of the hot new show "Pimp My Bike!". Think of it, a bike with fucking gold bling. Super sweet.
