Excuse the late evening posting recently, but it’s been warm out.
Which means I haven’t been getting enough work done, but it’s not like the balmy weather’s going to last much longer. Which also means I’ve been spending the day [since getting out of class] pedaling as hard as I can [to places where I can drink coffee]. The freezing cold almost made me forget how much fun it is to go so fast you’re spinning out [although, yeah, I'm geared low]. Almost.
My excuse for blowing off the day? I’m officially on spring break, although it’s not really spring, nor much of a break.
Still, I’m not complaining. The past few days have been akin to rubbing my face on cheese graters. It’s not even the work, which can be sort of mind-numbing and prone to dammit-did-I-just-drool-everywhere-? naps, but the whole song and dance I tend to do at school. Smile, be sociable, pretend I don’t have a secret life. Repeat.
Not that this secret life of mine is very exciting, mind you, but it does a lot to retain my sanity. And when things like “the economy” and “the world” start spinning out of control, well, it’s nice to be able to hang onto something [even if it's just a fixed cyclocross bike].
Wait, scratch that. Especially when it’s a fixed cyclocross bike…and coupled with coffee.
