I work 'til I ache in my bones

...or feet, rather... that's why I haven't posted this past week. I've finally been getting more shifts. Yay money! Too bad work isn't so much fun. It's a little difficult to have adventures when you have to dump partially-eaten food off plates or sweep and mop large areas. At least this week the radio's been on an oldies station instead of stupid pop... The other mini-adventures I've had this week revolve around my former roommate, who moved out a couple days ago. We ate ice cream type desserts, watched a dollar movie, had photo shoots (involving 80's clothes and 3D glasses, both of which are always adventures) and just had good times. 
Today was definitely an adventure. I worked a shift serving pasta, talking with coworkers, and learning how to say "please" and "thank you" in Mandarin. I'll probably forget that very soon... After work, I planned on going to the grocery store, but had a random urge to go to the thrift store across the street first. Thrift stores are always adventures! Even if you have absolutely no money, you can still go and just look for the ugliest clothes ever created, which will surely have found their way to the thrift store you are at. So, basically, that's kinda what I ended up doing. But, I did buy a shirt. And then I went grocery shopping. 
On the way home, my lovely bike was hit by a car! DUNDUNDUN!!! I was just crossing an intersection, totally with the right of way since the pedestrian light said I could go, when, all of a sudden, this lady turned right right into me!!! Fortunately for both of us, only my back wheel was damaged. Luckily the lady offered to pay for the new wheel. It was so bent that it wouldn't turn, so there would be no simple repair. After exchanging info, I started attempting to get my bike home, which was about a mile away. Not even a block into the grueling journey (have you ever tried to push a bike with a tire dragging instead of turning? So much fun!), a random woman pulled over and offered to help me by taking my bike somewhere for me. I accepted this offer and she drove me to a bike store to get everything all settled. So, my poor bike will be all better next week. I would not recommended this particular adventure, but it does make life more interesting...
