red light means go

A predicted high of 45F today – yay for warm weather!

Yeah, I never thought I’d think 45F = “warm” but I’m so ready to peel off my Underarmour and fold it away until November. Snow isn’t even pretty anymore, just slightly annoying. The gross brown heaps that it eventually turns into [and then gross brown water that cars like to splatter at me] doesn’t really help make Boston winters any more appealing.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for deferred gratification…just only when it applies to a goal that I can actually see. Desperately hoping for nicer weather that doesn’t involve shards of ice flying in my face, enough layers to make me feel like I’m in a fat suit, and that embarrassing fogging up of my glasses whenever I enter a warmer room…is getting old.

I’m trying to be optimistic though; and even with all the snow yesterday, by early evening it was clear out. The lights strung up on the trees along Comm Ave were cute and pretty enough for even my beer soaked self to appreciate. I didn’t get a picture though [I know, I really should have!], probably because I had no idea what I was doing at that point.

I ended up praying for a red light on my way home, hoping for an excuse to stop. I only hit one, and by the time I stumbled into my apartment, my face looked like a tiki torch.

I think I might have to train a little more for the beers + bikes shenanigans I’m mentally planning for the summer…
