Dizzojay's Dean Dreams

I rode outside Saturday and Sunday, and the higher handlebars worked out great! A little discomfort in my left hand, but none of the brutal numbness that has plagued me for so long. The rides themselves, though... god, the heat. Saturday's ride finished at 91^o, and needed an additional rest stop to let my heart rate slow down again. On Sunday's ride, that extra stop came two miles earlier! :( I finished that ride at 90^o, but the Real-Feel temperature was 100. Gah. I didn't feel especially hot, mainly just tired.

The Sunday ride the week before was only slightly less sucky. We've been having some humidity, which is unusual for Sacramento, and that makes everything unpredictable. But I saw some more tiny quail babies this weekend,and HalfshellHusband saw a baby bunny on his ride. So cute! \o/

When we had guests a couple of weekends ago, we finally had enough strong people to move our bedroom furniture to where we've wanted it to be. Only took a year and a half! I did something to my right wrist the first week after we moved back in, and it sometimes gets a little painful and weak. It feels like something needs to "pop," but that doesn't happen. It's made me useless at moving heavy things, which is really disappointing. But! We're finally done with that! I'm slowly putting pictures and other decorations on our bedroom wall now, and will eventually be able to get rid of the storage bin that's been sitting on the floor all this time.

Now, if I could only figure out what to do with the rest of the pictures (or even whether to keep them). Our daughter did a great job of hanging the bulk of our artwork, but most things are spaced farther apart than they used to be, so some pictures are still pending. I also have a couple of things that need frames. Both are on canvases that are nearly 1/2 thick, which makes that harder. One is a copy of "Starry Night on the Rhone" that my mother painted, and it's large— 20"x18". The other is a Southwestern-style picture our daughter painted, which I love, but it's predominantly orange and the colors don't go with any of the rest of our art or wall colors (apart from the white walls). Plus, I can't figure out what color the frame should be. :( And then we have family pictures but less room for those (fewer flat surfaces) now. Ugh. Decisions! Will the house ever feel complete?
