Happy New Year! No tragic questions for once, only despairing of my tragic life!

So I somehow thought it was a great idea to wash my bike on NYE. Not the lamest idea ever, right ? Well, no, but after approximately 45 minutes of hauling multiple buckets of water/cloths/brushes/lights(!)/etc out in preparation of this fun and exciting activity it's only now that I realize this totally sucks. In order to understand what a poor decision this was, one must understand that I live in an apartment, and my bike "lives" in my carport. It is a mere minute by foot from my front door, but it lacks an outlet, water, lights. Plus it's raining. And no, I expect no sympathy - I'm well aware pretty much anytime other than 11:30 p.m. would have been the better choice. I merely wish to be a wanker, in hopes of learning I'm not the only one already having regrets even before 2026 begins! I'm also not especially motivated to drag all this crap back inside (For a special treat I'm even going to provide photo of this scene of despair. Yes. Those are the headlights of my car - I thought they'd work great - hahaha.)

I'm sure most of us have had to deal with living somewhere that was not conducive to our hobbies. I didn't have a garage until I was 30. 
Happy New Year!
