The day started out really shitty. I woke up around 11am to find that my sister was gone, and since she is, unfortunately, my main soure of entertainment, I got ridiculously bored and kind of irritated at the fact that I was wasting my day off sitting in front of the computer screen instead of going out and doing something fun or productive. Usually when I get really bored I get kind of depressed and grumpy so when my sister finally came home around 2pm with her boyfriend, I wasn't very happy.
Her boyfriend isn't the most merciful human being on the planet, to say the least. Whenever I'm in a bad mood he'll find ways to push my buttons and get on my nerves. It always works too. This time around he saw me reading and thought it'd be funny to sit there and ask me a series of idiotic questions while I tried to ignore him and concentrate on my book as hard as I could. I gave up eventually.
It's been cloudy and stormy all week! I LOVE monsoon season. And after I decided it was just going to piss me off to stay at home, I grabbed my bike and cruised through the neighborhood a little bit. My bike is beautiful, and actually quite new too. I ordered it online last month or so for $200, which is pretty cheap, but my beach cruiser is a nice orange-creamsicle color with embossed leather handlebars and seat. PLUS these really awesome fenders. I'd say it's the prettiest bike I've ever seen, and I feel like a total badass when I ride it around. It was about 90 degrees or so when I took it out for my ride which isn't too bad considering the highs have been hitting 115 lately. It got uncomfortably warm when the sun came out though, so my ride didn't last too long, but it definitely put me in a better mood.
I went riding again with my little sister later on in the evening when it got really nice and cool. I always go uphill first on my bike-riding-adventures. That way you get the hard part out of the way and you're left with easy cruising all the way home. I took her all the way up Greenway which was probably a couple miles, and she was acting like she was going to die, even though we were taking good breaks along the way and we'd even walk our bikes every so often. She's the biggest drama queen I've ever seen. At one point she screamed at me to stop while she purposely made herself hyperventilate while making these gasping-for-air noises. It made me laugh, but I had her stop and explained to her that she'd pass out if she kept it up. Despite her little fits and whining about how tired she was, we made it all the way up to the water towers where we discovered this road leading all the way up to them. The incline of that road was INSANELY steep. My little sister was refusing to go up, so I just told her to stay put while I went up to look at the view. She followed me anyway. Once we got up there, the view was amazing! The sun was setting and the clouds were all pink and blue and you could see everything. It was really pretty.
We went home after that and, of course, the ride back was easy cruisin' the whole way. That put me in a great mood.
