Hey blog family. Let me tell you of a great example of resilience -- my current tube of toothpaste. I brush my teeth at least once every day this tube keeps on giving the goods. I bought a tube probably a month ago expecting it to give out but it hasn't happened, but everyday when I try to squeeze some more of the stuff out it keeps on coming. I wish we all could be more like my tube of toothpaste (You can quote me on that).
Not that much new going on. I have, however, starting my bike on longer distances; I found a great 40 mile loop that I've been riding. It's from here in Ann Arbor over to Chelsea which is 20 miles a way the route I go, then up to Dexter (another 10), and back to A2 (the last 10). It's pretty cool. The ride is more backroads which are a lot less trafficy than the road linking Dexter and Ann Arbor. These are roads the I love riding on. They remind of the roads that I used to ride on when I fell in love with riding my bike long distances way back around Fruitland, Idaho. So I've done this ride twice before and last week I racked up a 100 mile week which I haven't done since before my accident. So I'm happy that my body can do this stuff again.
A few days ago we took another trip to Ikea, you know, the big Swedish furniture store that most people love for their stylish northern European designs as well as low prices. I got a few things that I've been wanting for a while, one of which is another couch (loveseat really, but I'd rather write loveseat in parentheses) for our ground floor TV area. I got the cheapest piece of sh!te they got. It was only like $150 with no color options and it's not the most comfortable thing but I like it anyway. The back to the thing is nice and firm and gives good support for trying to sit up, which I really like. I also got a couple of rugs, and a lamp. One rug for my room and other for the same TV area. I made me happy getting that stuff so we can make our house a little more liveable and less like a college house.
Not much else. Did I tell you guys about my idea of going to business school in Sweden? Yeah! I've even emailed a school there and they wrote me back that they won't need a GRE or GMAT score and that they're increasing the number of students from the US. I think it sounds great. I wouldn't need to pay for tuition, but I would have to pay for room and board on my own. So I'm going for it. I want to do business school sumwhere so why not sumplace cool? If I would make it in that school I would probably do my best to try and live over there too. I love it there and I think it fits me more than the US does. But we'll see what happens. Applications will be accepted at the beginning of the year which is when I want to apply and hopefully I know soon after that of whether I get accepted or not. Cross your fingers.
Sum more good news is that my settlement with the other guy's insurance over how much I'll be getting is just about over. I'm talking about finally getting cash money for getting hit by a car. The day is almost there. I can feel it. All the bills will be paid and I'll have some financial freedom. It feels good.
