CONFLICTED

baaaaaaaah

-My Craig's List Junker bit the dust yesterday. Whilst on my way to work, the front brake (the only functioning brake) just FELL OFF. Something metal snapped in half, so it's beyond repair. Conflict: I need a bike I can ride daily around the city, but don't want to pay for aNOTHER bike!

-I need to figure something out for training for the Chicago Tri in August. Conflict: Is it too late to sign up with Team in Training and have a practical expectation to raise $2000 by early August??? I emailed the people there asking if there's any alumni discount or something I could do to lower my fundraising total (heinous, I know), and the lady emailed me back saying 'no.' I really am not in a place to make up for any lack in fundraising due to big plans in the fall. And I hesitate to take on a $2k commitment when a) I didn't meet the goal last year and b) it's already the middle of June.

-I was supposed to go to a bike maintenance class tonight at the store I bought my fancy pants bike from. I was told to not ride that bike in the city, but in order to get it there... I'd need to ride it. To twist the knife: it's RAINING. But I already RSVP'd. Boooooo. Conflict: Should I stay or should I go now? (haha I don't even really like that song, but so often it's very fitting).

My indecisive-ness is NOT my favorite trait.
