Sad and Happy
So, on Friday, I went and picked up Eva from her high school where she had just spent the day doing her Cycle For Change stint since first thing in the morning and we loaded her longtail cargo bike, Sally the Xtracycle, onto the roof bike rack. She biked 64km, I just figured it out.
At home, I needed to take the bike and the roof box off in order to go to the paddling dock and load up a racing kayak for the Nanaimo trip the next day. Eva was coming out to help me after her shower and I had a time deadline and I got impatient, which left me trying to take her bike off the roof by myself. Which is actually not possible. So I tried it anyway and the back of the bike slipped down and sideways and broke the back window of the car. Just like that. Bam.
Yup. I said NO! a lot of times but it didn't make it not happen. Bugger. That is the sad.
Enter our car insurance. And the wonderful Speedy Glass fellow who came to our driveway today and fixed it. Just like that. Bam. And, besides which, the weather is super lovely today and I have figured tonight's dinner already. Half an hour before I need to start cooking it. That is the happy.
