Steps

We went and picked up my helmet, bike lock cable thingy and a Schwinn bike tool set that I can tote around with me in case of emergency.
I will be honest, i am frustrated with my bike and my living situation right at the moment.  Every time I go in to work on the brakes, I have to stop or I can't start because there is too much going on in the main room. 
But something that I have learned about myself is that I have to go through the angry, frustrated, bashing my head against it phase to get to the capable phase.  I think most kids get that earlier in their life than I did. I tend to be quite good at what I do and I don't do things I don't like.  (excluding chores and yard work since those are necessary)  But I have discovered that sometimes it really is worth it to push through that irritation.

Steps! One at a time!
