Jeff's Spleen

Wife, or motorcyle?

Man. This just blows.
My motorcycle has been in the shop for over 1 month now. I miss it horribly. Future blog entries will expound upon my midlife crisis-inspired motorcycle love, but for now, let me just say that it has been a long month without it. I have tried not to be an annoying pain-in-the-ass with the shop about calling to ask if it was fixed yet, always waiting maybe 2 or 3 days beyond the point at which I figured it HAD to be ready, only to have them say, "Yeah, we're getting to it soon."

Now, today, of all days, they finally called me to tell me it's ready. Great. Super. Couldn't be happier. EXCEPT that today happens to be my and my wife's 10th wedding anniversary, and she's picking me up any minute so we can go check into a spa/resort for a coupla days.

Why must you torment me so, Satan?

Surely I cannot suggest to my wife that we postpone the check-in to the spa for a couple hours while I go get the bike. Nor can I suggest we cut it short early tomorrow to get it before they close. So....after waiting what feels like FOREVER, now I have to wait three more days. ALL BECAUSE OF MY ANNIVERSARY.

I love my wife (happy anniverary, dear), but boy do I miss that bike. I'll come get you soon, baby.
