Boohoo times two....

As the previous post about Dan's job said, no papers were signed yet and if it worked out it would be great. Well, sadly, it did not work out. Now he is going through the processes to sub in several school districts, and already worked for the neighbor contractor that lives next door. It was a project to remove a chimney, which is good experience since we want to do the same thing in our house one day, far away down the road. He is not very good at being idyll, so I hope he gets lots of sub work and work with the neighbor.

We got a nice bike rack for the car recently, so we can take our bikes to bike trails. I don't like riding on the streets, so much, and around the city cars. So yesterday we tried it out for the first time. The bike rack works great, and we had a nice bike ride along the river in Portland and over the bridges. I always have a hard time making moves as fast as Daniel, and on the way back to the car when he turned really suddenly on a street, I tried to stop fast and turn and couldn't get my foot out of the peddle fast enough when I started to tip over, I ended up landing funny on my ankle. Now I have a swollen ankle and I am hobbling around. Why can't I do anything without getting hurt?!? Arrgggg...
