Disappointed

I had a very trying day at work yesterday.   As the end of the ordeal neared, I glanced outside and noticed the sun was out and radiating light onto everything.  I grabbed my iPhone and checked the weather - 48 degrees.  Downright tropical. My heart began to lighten.  I quickly wrapped up for the day, threw my coat over my shoulder, hustled down the stairs and blew out of the building into a new, bright and warmer world.  I just needed to make it home in time to hop on my bike and get a quick ride in before the sun got too low.  I could almost hear the click as my shoes engaged my pedals.  The drive home was quick, yet cautious.  I pulled into the drive, slammed the car into park, jumped out and let out a huge sigh of frustration.  The sun was nearing the horizon and the light beginning to dim.  No time to pull on some clothes, pull the bike off the wall and make even a 20 minute ride safely.  I opted for a shower to help cool the sting of disappointment.
