Pain...

Hello, friends!

Just a few days until I get married and I cannot wait for a number of reasons.  I am going to be marrying the love of my life and my best friend, which is pretty sweet.  I am looking forward to all the great things that Meg and I are going to be able to do for the kingdom as a couple.  That is going to be pretty sweet as well.  One reason that may be a little understated but still really important is that getting married is going to be great for my back. 

See, once Meg and I get married, I get to move into our apartment.  That means I get to sleep on the bed that we bought.  I took a nap on that bed one time.  It was NICE.  Now, sleeping on a new bed may be great and all but the comfort in compounded when you consider that the past few weeks I have been sleeping on nothing but couches. 

The apartment where I am staying in Saint Louis is great.  The roommates are great, the location is wonderful (except that it is too far south for UMSL or Flo Valley, where Meg and I work) and I am staying there rent free because there are 4 guys and only 3 rooms.  What this means though, is that I am sleeping on a couch.  Add this to the fact that I am sleeping on a couch already in Columbia when I go out there on Tuesdays, and I can definitely feel the pain. 

I guess the moral of the story is that I'm getting old.  When I was younger I slept on the couch in California and I think I actually preferred it.  Now, I wake up sore and creaky, not quite ready to bike, run, walk, or even stand up.  I wouldn't be surprised if the couch has led my back to be all mangled and such.  I'll probably go to a chiropractor after the wedding. 

Anyway, that's one of the reasons I haven't been biking much.  I need to get myself right before I can start to pedal in earnest. 

Stats:
Places traveled: Just to campus and back
Distance traveled: 4 miles ($.40)
Meters: 2 hours on campus ($2)

Total: $2.40
Grand Total: $302.38

Happy Biking!
