Rest day and bike path.

Had a great night last night with some nice street music.  I was pretty beat by the time we got home.

Met my parents at Panera Bread for breakfast and I forgot to take a picture of my blueberry bagel, but know that it was tasty!  Then did some grocery shopping.  We saved $11 in coupons today!

I thought I wouldn’t be working much today, but turns out I was quite busy!   That’s always a good thing.  Took a break for some lunch and had Chobani with cereal and strawberries.

Such a nice combo.  I also tried a new tea (bought with coupon!):

This was good.  It was less cardamom and more peppery with cinnamon.  The hang tag saying was odd, though:

What is that supposed to mean?

I am feeling quite tired today.  I do have difficulty taking a day off, but my legs especially are tired today.  It’s also hard because after a long bike ride, I have a tendency to be really snacky the next day.

We are pretty lucky to have bike paths around here.  There is about 20 miles of trail to go on.  Not all of it is paved, though.  There are chunks that are gravel or just dirt – so that is one reason why I would have trouble with just a road bike.  It’s fine for the 8 miles of paved path, but not the rest.  Some of the path is just a bike lane on the main road, which is not a place I like to ride, but you have to go on some to get to the path.  It is marked with a bike sign to let drivers know to share the road, but I had someone last week yell at me to get on the sidewalk?  What’s up with that?  It can feel very vunerable on the bike sometimes.

Anyway, there are so many beautiful things in this area to see and do.  We live in a small town, and not all is good (Fort Edward is a superfund site – thanks GE), but we enjoy it.  We do plan to move probably to Glens Falls in about 3 years or so.  I would love to live right on the bike path!

So, I am normally scheduled for work on Mondays, so I have to work.  Guess that makes it truly Labor Day!  😀 Not sure if it will be busy or not.
