I did it. I wasted four hundred dollars… On a bike that made me address pains in my leg that have been happening since last summer when I lost all the weight. Honestly, it’s something I kind of ignored thinking about. I rationalized as regular soreness from not stretching during most of that time,but it’s been going on for way too long.
And now I feel like I’m way too exhausted after riding a bike for it to be normal. Here I am. I can start right it to the bus though, which is nice and I’m still going to nag my fuckin friend about that job because I definitely need something better right now. Getting down to two shifts per week now as I kind of expected with all the new people coming in.
Apparently gyms finally reopened around my area last week, which I wouldn’t have noticed because last week I was swamped with work. I just wanted to get out; I was so tired. But yeah, I realized at this point minimum wage just isn’t going to work for me anymore. I’m struggling.
This you know, it isn’t all bad. I wouldn’t say that I completely wasted my money with the bike. It just feels like a lot. I did not expect a bike for me too. Cause $400. I just barely had enough. They had to give me a discount so that the taxes didn’t make the purchase go over my budget. I was kind of sad and I tried to ride the bike home all the way back. But my legs already starting to gave it give out around the beginning and I had to embarrassingly attempt hooking my bike to around on a bus my growth back.
It’s gonna really suck to have to use regularly because I don’t think in my current state I’m going to be able to just ride my bike everywhere. It’s weird hearing friends talk and use biking as the solution to everything transportation-wise as my legs apparently just don’t work that well. And that’s insane to me because last year.
Well, not last year the year prior, my freshman year, I walked everywhere. I was so used to walking everywhere. I don’t know if I got something bad because of the gym or if me working out and overdoing at the gym just exposed the problem that was always there, waiting to break me down.
Right now I’m tired, but you know. I did realize that. Turning the light on when I’m room made me feel a little more energized for the day. We were focused or willing to do stuff. I have to do a lot though in the next couple days. I had made it out was all A’s and B’s for all my classes except for one which I did and all of the work and now I have to attempt.
Almost half a semesters worth of work for this one class by the 3rd of June. And it’s a lot it’s even worse because my teachers piled on more work just to make sure we were paying attention and that we were actually doing the work. I’m not struggling it was hard but God I hate feeling like I was going somewhere and then one purchase just sent me all the way back to square 0, really. Nearly bankrupt, which is funny.
I don’t know. That’s just to let you know where I’m at. I’m doing this because I’m not yet ready to tackle everything and FYI. Of course I didn’t make the plan yesterday. That was a struggle. I’m going to and from the bike shop and sleeping and I was just lying down a lot.
I was just thinking a lot. I’m just really tired lately and I’m gonna go back to work tomorrow, which is going to eat up a lot of my time within the three day span of me having to get all the work done. I think this whole transcription app doing well in forcing me to talk faster and not struggle with words because eventually I have to pay for that.
And you know, I was definitely considering doing the monthly plan that they had that gave me the most minutes. Now that I spent $400 on the fucking bike, that might not work for me. It also just hurts for me to sit on it because I have a big ass and honestly, it’s more of a hindrance that I like. I need to get the seat lower and get a new seat all together.
And because of the fact it was $400, of course, I couldn’t get the basket that I wanted to get installed on it. I don’t know. I just I don’t know why I assume bikes would just be 170 to 200 dollars. It was just It’s just me remembering what kid prices were. But I feel like they were $80 as a kid. I feel like right now we’re just going through massive stage of inflation where prices are really bad.
Sucks for me as a college student where I don’t have a stimulus check to just find me some magical transportation. Was going to use that bike to what, Traverse 5 miles? There’s a path that leads me from where I am directly to my college campus, but I don’t even think I am fully able to do one mile on a bike. So what else is on my mind? I’m going to see if I can schedule a doctor’s appointment. Now that everything at least in my state is opening back up. It seems very appropriate now more than ever to finally get that underway.
