I’ve had a really good run this week – I’ve ridden in to the office every day. There’s been huge thunderstorms but I’ve lucked out and only gotten wet on Monday (the day I forgot my rain jacket). You may have noticed some tweets republished in this space regarding my huge stinkiness because of a gas spill. That was Tuesday. The latch on the gas nozzle got stuck and I sprayed gasoline all over before I could get it shut off. And that inclues all over ME. ugh. I had to hang my clothes in the back room to avoid off-gassing myself (and my poor colleagues) to death.
Tuesday, though, I was sure it was going to pour and storm on me all the way home – my big dilemma was: do I put on the rain jacket over my nasty stinky gas laden clothes? Or rub dish soap all over my motorcycle jacket and *hope* for rain? I lucked out then, too. The storms passed by and I was able to ride home on nearly dry roads. And then I swapped into my 2nd motorcycle jacket for the rest of the week while the gas slowly evaporated.
and I did find a butterfly on my bike as I was leaving.
Of course today when I walked into the office with my dress hanging out below my motorcycle jacket I was a huge hit. Everyone laughed. I made the hardest laugher take my picture:
When I ride the skirt flaps in the wind behind me. I think I should get a tulle tutu. Adorabs!
Tomorrow I’m working from home, so I won’t hit 5 days on my commute, but you know, I’m pretty happy to work from home, so that’s ok.
Ok, the dress hanging out of the jacket made me laugh. I had never thought of that idea. Of course, I’ve never worn a dress, either. Probably doesn’t work too well in the rain, does it? 🙂
it is a polyester dress, so it will dry out pretty quick but – yeah. I have been known to pack the whole dress tail down my pants when the weather looks damp! it makes the waist of my britches pretty bulky but far better to avoid a full body moisture wick.
