lagilmanIt hit 70 today.
70.
Okay, I'm okay with it. No, really. I'm okay with it enough that, after putting in a morning of work, I took the bike out for the first ride of the season.
Which was followed by the first flat tire of the season.
Oh well. The new pump worked, the guy at the new little bike shop around the corner is nice (and has a very silly little dog), and 7 miles left me very tired (I could do 30 miles in August without dying, for reference). Meh. But this too will return...
So yeah, 70. If it hits 80 before April, I'm Gonna Have Word With Someone.
Meanwhile, I am closing in on the end of all the current freelance work (with more to hit next week, whee), and while Madame Editrix M has not yet delivered unto me my revision letter, Madame Agent Jenn has given her words upon Operation Oy, and so I have my marching papers for the weekend...
In addition to doing a final final pass on Portals #1, to fix all the things I realized this week were still broken. Yeah. But the 3/15 delivery date is still golden, damn it.
And, in reward for my Virptue in getting on the bike, dinner tonight is a tagine-spice-crusted fillet of bream, with a spinach-red pepper chopped salad and a glass of sauvignon blanc. There may, in fact, be TWO glasses. Oh, the indulgence...
