A day in the life of a 26 year old...

I can't explain why, but for some reason I have a good feeling about this year. Generally when I turn older, I'm filled with a lot of negative energy. I worry about aging and how I'll never do all the things I want to set out too.

Honestly, I thought this year was going to be worse. But something happened, something occurred and I can't quite place my finger on it, but it filled me with a sense of ... well... contentment and security. It could've been finding out I have some pretty good friends (though I still question this a lot! You know who you are!), it could've been remembering how much my family cares for me (Yes, my devil incarnate Lil Sister as well), or maybe it was just growing a year older.

I'm not sure what it is, but I really have a good feeling about this year. Now, I hope I didn't just jinx it, but hey wouldn't you be bragging if you felt good about turning 26 as well? Of course, it will be interesting to see how long this feeling lasts. If it lasts up until the 2nd of Jan, I'll consider it a success.

So, with this new feeling boiling up within me I decided to make a few changes. Of course nothing as drastic as joining the gym. More along the lines of modifying Suzzanne. Something I've been meaning to do for months but have either been lazy or just not had the cash for. Now modifying Suzzanne will be a 3 phase project.

Phase 1: Getting rid of the backseat and making her a single seater. I believe since she's my bike and since I abhor sharing my things. The best way to stop myself from giving rides to people (especially those that I don't like!) is to simply remove the rear seat. Now in the process, she looks so much better. Now she looks cleaner, sleeker and oh so much sweeter. Of course this also helps me avoid getting into trouble. Let me tell you, the kind of trouble you can get into with a rear seat, well I'm just happy it's gone.

As for Phase 2 and 3, well I'll discuss them in other posts as they.

Of course Phase 1 pretty much took up my entire day and hence let me feeling pretty good about day one of my 26th year. Not even having my helmet stolen could dampen my spirits. Truth be told I've been meaning to change my helmet for a while. I think this was a sign.

Finally, thank you all that wished me and remembered my Birthday. Those of you that didn't wish me or remember, well there is always next year.
