Day 166-New Bike

Today was non-academic. We read Frankinstein first thing (the monster killed again) and then we had to get ready to go. We went to the funeral of someone we knew years ago. Then when we got home we worked on putting together a new bike. Jeff has worked at the same company for over 25 years so they gave him this gift award thing where he got to choose what he wanted. There were some pretty nice, expensive things on the list; and we chose the bike. We got a women's for Sarah. We finally got it put together today and she tried it out. It was much better than the tiny one she's been riding with her knees hitting her in the chin!



It was a little tall for Rachel's comfort though. I told her that when I can't reach the ground on a bike, I feel like I can't reach the bottom of the pool. That scares me pretty badly. Our legs are much shorter than Sarah's.

We're making Jeff try this procedure for sleeping better that we heard on one of the Great Courses. You set your alarm and get up at that time no matter what, then you go to bed a little later than the amount of sleep you want--like half an hour--and get up at that same time the next day and then back up your going to bed time by 15 minutes until you have a day that you're not tired. Also, you can't take naps. And I told him he can't lie around in the recliner moaning and half asleep. I'm probably keeping him awake typing this in bed though!

Tomorrow morning we're off on a hike to take pictures.

See you next time!
