woke up this morning to snow. again. it’s mother’s day. nearly mid-may. winter, your time is over.

it’s been a strange week. I’ve definitely had a sense of point-event depression. Now with SSAP and PMBAR in the past, there’s nothing big and fun looming in the distance. Nothing that I’m really working up towards. Just a few months of life as normal and a whole lot of work. It sounds funny to say that I’m depressed because these things are over, but there’s a void now. Don’t worry, in a few days I’ll get back into the swing of normal life and start working towards trying to be fast for an event or two in August - but these next few months should be shockingly normal.

In addition to being in a general bum mood, our new Bike29 kits came in - and came in messed up. The shorts are fine but the tops are running 1-2 sizes too small, and extra short. It’s such a bummer to wait so long, and then have them be wrong. I know that company that we worked with on them didn’t intend for this to happen, but it reflects badly on me as I placed the order. Add to the sizing problems, some graphic design decisions that I think I should have made differently and I’m just feeling a big pile of meh. Most people won’t notice the design issues. And somehow we’ll work out the size problems. But just ugh.
