(Laundry) Basket Case

Urg. I've put off laundry all week. Tomorrow morning. Gotta get it done! Normally I'm pretty good about keeping up with it, but this week I just kept putting it off. It's not bad, yet. Four loads, maybe five. But I just don't like getting behind on that.

I've been biking this week, even though it's been frickin' cold. Still, I don't mind getting a jump on my bike season; last year, I rode until November, so, starting in late March/early April means I'll have about eight months of biking this season, assuming my bike endures. I've bitched about it before, but my Trek 7300 has been a constant disappointment to me. Some people love them, but I vastly preferred my old Specialized Hardrock to my Trek, which has proven to be a finicky and high-maintenance set of wheels. And given that I've just been doing city riding with it, not scaling up mountains or anything, I've been disappointed by the fussiness of this bike. I'm sure I've put more than the actual value of the bike into it, in terms of repairs and modifications.
