serindranaHey LJ, long time, no non-fic posts! I've been RPing with a bunch of DA peeps (looking at you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iapetusneume, cherith, and firstblush)! It's been wonderful, if at times a bit nervewracking as I get used to playing with more than one person. :)
Meanwhile, in Wyoming-land, I've mostly just been doing library work. Today, though, David and I went out with two people he works with to volunteer at a farm. Did a lot of weeding work, and came away with full belly, a box of fresh produce, and an amazing hummus recipe! Then we came home and I went out bike riding.
For anybody who doesn't know, I'm one of those people who can forget how to ride a bike. I was taught at least three times in elementary school. Every time I started over from almost scratch. The last few times David has tried to teach me have ended poorly. I panic and crash or tense up so much that it's painful to ride for more than five or ten minutes.
Today? We were out for over half an hour. I skidded out and banged up my elbow once, but I got up, dusted myself off, whined for maybe thirty seconds, and got right back on. I'm really proud of myself! I still have trouble stopping/dismounting with any grace and sometimes nearly tip when I try, and I'm nervous about dealing with other people on the road, but I think I made real progress.
We also picked up a fifteen-pound pork belly so we can try making our own bacon. :)
All in all, a pretty good day!
