exercise, no exercise...

i bought a bike yesterday, which was awesome. it is used; “a beater” is what the shop owner called it. i think it will work out well. i even rode it up the hill and around the neighborhoods for a little while. i was supposed to play ultimate frisbee today but i slept horribly. i kept having the same pointless dream over and over and it kept waking me up. i think i am worried about lots of things right now: work, school, teaching next week, my ACL article, Eriko’s visit… i cancelled on frisbee. i can’t blame it entirely on a poor night’s sleep, though, because it likely contributed to the poor night’s sleep. i’m not good at frisbee and the pressure of playing on a team that wants to win make me very anxious. it isn’t just that i play poorly; i don’t even know the rules. i think if i just go to the next game with the intention of doing nothing more than watching i might not feel so much pressure. i’m hoping i can shrug off these worried blues and ride my bike to UW today; if it’s bearable than i want to ride to and from class.
