I got a DUI in my sleep...

Thanks goodness for Advil. I woke up at 4 am dehydrated with a post beer run headache. But it was worth every shuffle down the stairs to get some water and an take an Advil.

I had the weirdest dream last night. I was drunk and driving a wooden pedal car, like the one's you rent at Centre Island. I got caught in between a couple of buses and was pedaling away when a cop stopped me. She asked me to roll down the window. Yes, my wooden car had a window. She then took one look at me and said your drunk and charged me with DUI. I was freaked. How am I going to get to work? This is a major negative effect on everything in my life, I'm hooped. I was devastated.

Needless to say, it was one of those dreams that seemed so real that even when I woke up I wondered if it was real. At first I figured I could beat the charge because I was in a wooden car and was pedaling. Then I thought more about it and then it hit me, if I was in a wooden pedal car, I was probably dreaming. Yes! I didn't lose my license, it was only a dream. Thank God.

I think I had the dream because last night I had an urge to eat Chinese food after the beer run. I wanted to order from a new place around the corner but couldn't remember the name to phone in an order. I asked Alyssa to drive me, but she was busy with homework and I couldn't wait. I then got a great idea and took Reid's trick bike instead.

It's not a comfortable ride and it must have looked strange with a large adult riding a kids bike down the sidewalk at 10 pm. The seat is so low that my legs were killing me. It is one of those bikes that kids don't sit on, they just stand on the pedals. When I got to the restaurant, I asked how much food would fit in a bag that I could carry and still steer my bike.

The cashier went to the back and came out with the cook to discuss my options. The cook then had a brilliant idea. I actually wished I had thought of it first. He said, why don't we just deliver it to you and then you don't have to carry it back on your son's small bike. Yes, that WOULD be much easier. So I paid and pedalled my way back home. By the time I got home, my thighs were burning.

Today was video editing day. Alice and I looked through all the photos and video that Jacob and Reid took at the beer run and we put together the video. It was fun. The hardest part is finding just the right music to put to it. We started at 10 am and finished around 5 pm and by 6 pm I was out the door for my long run.

The run was amazing. For the first time in a long time I listened to music and just spaced out. I was running on pure endorphins and enjoyed the cool evening. I saw my first tree with the leaves starting to turn colours. Summers officially over.

Below is a video that Reid put together of when Davis was here last weekend and Jamie let him drive his Ferrari.
