Wake me up when September ends...
I have seen a cross T-shirt with the line 'Wake me up when September ends' and it is just perfect. But I think I also need to take a 'blogg paus' since I realize that my writing is just full of complaints and nothing positive. I need to deal with this on my own. The MCK forum has details of our local races starting 28 aug which I will miss due to a conference and then 1 sept and so on. SCF also seems to be settled with the cross schedule now. I will try my best to be at something but I am making no promises.
Buying this car is the second biggest thing I have done in my life. Moving to Sweden was the first. In my view the downpayment is enormous and I now have 3 months left to save that much...I may very well end up living on havregryn and snabbmacaroni (which would, obviously, make me a faster cyclist). Once I get the car the monthly cost is perfectly within my normal range. But getting there is a battle. I want to buy cross stuff and go to every race. But if I do I am fcuked.
And I should keep all of this to myself because only I could actually end up in this kind of situation. Working at a university and living alone means less margin when it comes to money. But both my job and my apartment are great so I have no plan of changing either. It just complicates things.
So, see you eventually at a GöteborgsSuperprestige but for now I will shut up...
