9 days until this car goes bye bye. I have truly enjoyed how much fun it is to bike, walk or take the bus to places I need to go. I also recognize that I will not go car less. I will be driving places, but so far not driving EVERYWHERE has been really rewarding.
I had the chance to bike to Wash Park yesterday and just lay on the grass and listen to music for 2 hours. It was heavenly.
I also biked to Starbucks this morning and am learning how to juggle a coffee cup while riding. Needless to say, I need more work on that.
The greatest reward has been my stress level. I notice that I am sleeping better and waking earlier. I feel refreshed and am enjoying myself. That is a victory all in itself.
Count down with me, as I discover if not having a car is harder than simply choosing to not drive my car. I am curious if there is a difference. Only way to find out - give that baby back to the dealer on 6/10. 9 days and counting - here I go.
