on monday i took a trip to brenham on my motorbike. i contemplated not going that morning. my hair was greasy and i didn't wash it the night before. convinced myself that it didn't matter, i'd have a helmet on the entire time, which tunred out to be true, so i left home around eleven a.m. it took me two hours to get to the halfway point, partly because i detoured to put air in my tires. one gripe i have with google maps now is that i will pick a route that avoids highways. and i put my phone in my pocket cause i don't have a mount for it. ten minutes in, when i'm going like forty-five miles per hour, the app will tell me that it found a faster route. and this new route is an opt-out thing, which means unless i pull out my phone and cancel it, it will reroute. which, when on a bike going fity miles an hour, isn't very easy. so it sent me on 290 for around twenty minutes. hated it. i tried to keep my bike as close to sixty miles and hour but it didn't matter. everyone kept passing me. which was funny, sure, but frustrating cause i shouldn't have been in that situation if it weren't for map's weird decision to not even give me the option to disable rerouting

in brenham i ate my lunch. got ice cream at the blue bell place, and walked around the litte downtown they have. wasn't much to do aside from that. tried taking pictures. saw the bluebonnets that were the reason for me to even take the trip. that and blue bell. realized riding to austin and back isn't doable in one day. time-wise sure, but not fatigue wise. relaly put into question my idea of riding to utah in three days. would probably need two weeks off from work or soemthing. would be easier to just fy honestly. even if i dont get to live out my fantasy of riding in the desert. seems like a lot of things could go wrong. wouldn't want to get a flat out there. don't have all the proper tools to fix something like that yet

also, for the past two days i've woken up to find a dead roach body near my desk. i think the first one was on a binder on my desk, and the second one was on the ground to the left. weird stuff. i'm hoping a third one doesn;t show up tomorrow morning. if it does, i'm gonna ask and see if anyone's messing with me. won't vocalize it anymore than i have til then
