Meh, meh, mehhity meh meh meh

I don't know if it is a catastrophic depletion of Vitamin D or what, but I am just feeling epically meh.

Hence, the lack of blogging this week.

Also, I feel cold.

This morning, I tried to use the power of my mind to fight of the impending mehness of it all. I tried to imagine the second day of RAGBRAI in 2012. We were riding into Lake View and the hot breath of wind was blasting right in our faces. Then, Steven and I caught a slow-moving pace line, and rode that bad boy all the way to the lake.

Then, Steven and the Mayor and I dropped our bikes, grabbed some tall boys, and walked right into the lake to refresh ourselves after our ride. It was bath water temperature. I tried to sleep that night but between the light shining right into our tent and slamming of bathroom doors and the insane heat, I only got like 3 winks.

In the morning, it was the same temperature.

You can read about the Ragbrai of a 1,000 suns here.

Or, you can watch this video of a guy having fun in spin class.



It is supposed to snow tomorrow.

And, Saturday.

And, Sunday. The high on Sunday, when we celebrate our annual "Mardi Gnaux" party is only 3. Yes. 3 degrees. Not Celsius.

My colleague said she was going to fight the winter mehs by "faking it until it's 50."

I am going to try to pretend that I am one of the Stark children from Game of Thrones. In Westeros winter lasts like 50 years. If you think about it that way another month doesn't seem so bad.
