Well, this has been a pretty successful day.
1. Got a new washing machine installed,
2. Have a raise in the works I'm told (it's been a process),
3. Have convinced key people to double the number of observed holidays next year,
4. May be reaching a deal on re-roofing (long conversation while driving where the project manager got looped in, who understood what I'm asking about better shingle quality and attachment),
5. Think I've identified the bike I want. I couldn't test drive it today, but it's not super far from work and it's the style I like, and at a price point I can afford with the extras already included (like kickstand and rack). I'll still need to get a helmet which is wicked expensive, but this could be a deal. I cannot get a new car right now with all the supply issues, and I'd like to drive less. And I'd like to exercise more. It's about six miles roundtrip, which is totally do-able at least a couple days a week, most of the time.
Of course there are things to be dismayed about as well. I'm not going to focus on those right now.
