Best day ever!!!
Started with riding to the work in sleeting rain, which took every opportunity possible to stab me in the eyes. Then, two-thirds of the way to work, my bike wheel came loose, and I had to take it three blocks to the nearest bike shop.
Turns out the axle to the back wheel was broken, and the guy qualified to figure out if it could be fixed wasn't coming in till two hours later. So I had to leave the bike at the shop and catch a ride to work with my mother. Due to the (now) snow storm, I had zero cell reception, so I had to walk to the bike shop without knowing if they'd even looked at it yet.
Turns out they had, and not only was my axle broken, but so was a piece of the actual frame that keeps the wheel attached to the bike. Being a part of the frame, it cannot be fixed, so I'm now in possession of an oddly-shaped unicycle.
The only two bright spots are that A.) we have an extra bike at the house, and B.) I picked up a six-pack on the way to the shop, so at least I won't have to be sober much longer.
