Mechanic Workshop! (for 2 wheels rather than 4)

Today after work, I went to a mechanic workshop hosted by the Bike People, where their volunteer mechanics teach you some basics of bike repair by working on their donated bikes and preparing them for sale/gift. They're super cool, and they run a community program where people can come buy bikes for super cheap or pay for them in work equity or sometimes just get a bike for free, depending on what you can afford. The bikes mostly go to houseless folks or new immigrants who don't have a U.S. license but need to get to their jobs (because our bus system is actually so unreliable places will rescind job offers if you don't have a non-bus form of transportation... we don't live in the darkest timeline everything's fine). So I think they're the coolest.

Anyway, we learned how to assess and grade donated bikes, and how to break a chain and even got a minor wheel true tutorial (I still don't know how to true a wheel, though). It was awesome! They said their Saturday open shops tend to be less busy with customers, so if we wanted to come back and help out they might more time to give us some direction as well, so we can add more skills to our wheelhouse and ideally, at some point, become more useful (me and the two guys who were with me would at present be that useful lol).

I'm about four days from my job getting REALLY REALLY BUSY, where I'm just deeply sad from now until December 21st or something, but I'd love to go back regularly. I'm still trying to figure out how to engineer my life so that I'm not deeply, devastatingly sad for eight months out of the year and then decrepit and kind of sad and anxious for the other four.

Things Neil Gaiman said about our ineffable husbands that make my heart skip a few beats:

- this is a love story

- they like holding hands

- they held hands in season 1 (he let us figure out that it was on the bus)

- it’s implied that Aziraphale stayed at Crowley’s apartment the night after the No-pocalypse

- this is a love story

- roughly 4 years passed between s1 and 2

- they will have a cottage in the South Downs at some point

- shoemaker-cum-obstetrician

- he called Michael and David ‘my boys’

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

kitamoto does make me so emotional. natsume says some embarrassingly earnest shit that reveals how undersocialized he is and kitamoto's reaction is to spend more time with him and introduce him to friendship. when someone who appears to be a girl his age tells him she's never read a book before, he's like oh okay, and then the next day he gives her a book with easy-to-read stories in a genre she said sounded interesting. he not only doesn't judge people but he also actively meets them where they're at...i love this sweet teenager so much i could cry.

Finally got to put the fresh stickers I got for my bike. Haven't taken this out to do anything big yet but now with these stickers I feel compelled to ride on a trail. Up the bike punx

Going too get more but for now I'll wait and look around for any unique ones. But for now this will do

Stickers from: peace supplies .com & crust punk .com

Some days you can’t look on the bright side no matter how hard you try. And that’s okay. You can’t always look on the bright side. And when those days happen, I will sit with you in the dark.

It’s very likely that your loved ones talk nicely about you behind your back.

We so often focus on the negative things that have been said about us behind our backs

But I was laying here with my fiancé talking about how far my best friend has come in her recovery journey and how much I love her, and it occurred to me that my loved ones likely talk about me in a positive light too.

I told him how I admired her and her accomplishments, and how excited I am to see her next weekend, and overall just how much I love having her in my life. I even told him that I felt so lucky to be loved by her because I think she’s so amazing.

Your loved ones likely say nice things about you, root for you, and in general think about you. You exist to them when you aren’t with them.
