HMS doesn't believe in snow days, because hospitals don't believe in snow days. Besides, there are two really important committee meetings that are supposed to happen tomorrow. That means I really should go out and buy yogurt (for breakfast) and a pair of slush-puddle-suitable boots, but damn it, I don't WANNA! I wanna stay home and watch the Looney Tunes DVDs I got from H&J for Christmas and persuade Lily that just because I vacuumed the living room rug, the world has not come to an end. (I found her hiding under the edge of my comforter. She truly does not like the vacuum cleaner.)

I bought an indoor training stand for my bicycle. To put the bicycle in it, I have to replace the skewer in the rear wheel. This scares me, because I'm afraid I'm going to end up with the chain coming off and I haven't a clue how to fix that. So, three questions:

1. What sort of tool should I use to loosen up the plastic end of the original skewer without destroying it? (It's REALLY tight.)
2. Is it possible for the chain to fall off if the bike tips while I'm messing around with the skewer?
3. If the chain does fall off, can I fix it myself?

Help!
