3 Day Weekends & Tuesday

Is this a curse? Am I being cursed? I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse that I haven't gone to school in a while. But it's not my decision, it's all in the clouds. It hasn't snowed at all, just really cold and icy. That's why I haven't gone to school. But I went yesterday, and I thought my days of staying home were over. Until I checked the weather app on my phone. I didn't believe it at all that I would be staying home today, because yesterday evening it was somewhat sunny, but cold. I guess it's just that Texas weather thing. But what do I do on days like these? I had planned to go to school and now all there is to do is flip through the news stations to hear them talk about the same thing. From now on I am planning for days like these.
But now I'm thinking ahead, 12 days ahead.


In 12 days, If I can count correctly, is the first mountain bike race of this season. Last year, waking up to the smell of last nights campfire with a soaked tent wasn't the best way to start out. It had rained the whole night and my tent flooded. It was also freezing. The races are on Sunday morning, so everyone's out there the day before. These races are usually in Smithville, Huntsville, and every "ville" in Texas. The second time it was almost below freezing with the same tent, so I slept in the car. Third time it was beautiful weather at night, but my dad and I stayed in a motel, along with Westlake, who has riders that are still learning to ride a bike. But that's how it is, deal with the weather or go home. The pros deal with it, except they sleep in a tour bus.

So I think 3 Day weekends are sort of a good thing, because it helped me think, think to plan ahead.
