Twelve degrees outside right now. Twelve! My mom up in Alaska wouldn't think it cold, but twelve is the lowest we've seen for some time, maybe even this entire winter. It is nice not to be training for bike races as in years past, though I admit I've been darn-near as obsessive about other forms of working out lately. The more uncertain things become in life the more I cling to rigid, mapped-out agendas and physical activity. So yeah, lately I've been averaging about seven hours of bikes, two or three lifting sessions at the Y, and a sparse handful of jogs every week. I am staying sane. As far as the "uncertainties" mentioned above, things are going OK. I have had some great conversations with close friends and had the chance to redirect my energy over the last few days. I am feeling much better about the overall situation with work, life...
I'm all about the changing of the seasons, the yin-and-yang necessity of hot/cold wet/dry climate shifts, but this arctic chill makes me yearn for those immaculate 68-degree sunny days in springtime Boise. The winter is far from over and I can deal with that, but I can't wait to hit some camping trips with Lauren once her summer break begins. I just need to find a decent tent between now and then.
Off to work. Things are quite interesting in the lab this week, as most of our upper management are out and about scrounging up investor interest and cash to keep us afloat. Meanwhile all the engineers are keeping busy with random side projects as we've no official direction for the time being. Crazy.
