Poor Pea

I knew it was going to be a bad morning when I realized I'd left the Pea sitting near the station since yesterday afternoon. I was barely able to dress myself this morning (resulting in a very bad combination of varying shades of brown) let alone spare any extra energy walking to get My Precious Pea. And if the dressing myself and walking myself isn't enough, there's the worrying. Will the Green Pea still be where I left her? Just how would I get her back if she weren't? Who would I phone? How would I communicate my problem in Japanese? Is there a fine? How much would it be? On and on in my brain it went. I'm not sure where they take abandoned bikes in Japan but I'm sure it's a hellish place. I wouldn't want the Pea to experience such horrific conditions.

Thankfully, the Pea was right where I left her. No ticket or anything. Not that the tickets mean anything or anything. Or anything. As you can tell it's still not a stellar day for Miss Me.

I've seen where they take abandoned bikes. It is a hellish place. Sadly, when I went I was not able to find my blue bullet. I was forced to scrounge for another stylish, 2 speed bike with a basket!
