Another weird Cycle day

On the Cycle, it seems like there's always something.  Today it was trying to get my allergy shots.  I got out of the house a few minutes late but still with enough time to get there before they stopped for lunch.  Except the was a closure on the road outside the subdivision.  And my gas light came on because I didn't fill up on Friday after sparring.  And then the massive accident that I had to go around.  Somehow I still made it with a few minutes to spare.

Then when I got back home I tried to get some more work done and after finally obtaining access to the code repository, it wouldn't compile.  We tried a lot of stuff but nothing would kick it loose.  And near the end of the day I was told to stop worrying about it because it might get built out onto one of the cloud servers.  I still need to get it to compile but it might not be a blocker.  Maybe.

Then at 5 I rushed down to the dojang because Master Evins wasn't expecting to be there to teach the 5:50 class.  Someone else beat me to asking to do warmups and then it turns out Master Evins was in his office and, I guess, nobody specifically asked him because he led the warmups himself.  And then nobody knew who was going to teach the next class but since we're all a good team we worked it out and managed to split warmups between two people so everyone could get signatures.

And that's not even counting that I ate leftovers for lunch and then plowed through an entire pint of Hagen Daz.  I guess I'm still catching up on calories.  At least I hope so because otherwise I'm going to balloon up.
