actually, i didn't cut school, per se, today. i had to take a sick day b/c i had an appointment to the ear/nose/throat guy this a.m. i arrived early after dropping off the boys. it was supposed to be a 9.30 appt., but i was out of there by that time after seeing the doc and the audiologist. on the latter, i can hear, but somewhat impaired as if i had been exposed to repeated noise....like loud music. i'll take that badge of deafness with honor. as for the ears, they're not infected now, so the guy basically told me i was an ass. no, not really. it's just that there was nothing wrong with my ears at this point, as opposed to several weeks ago.
from now on, if i feel a cold i'm going to drop humibid at the drop of a hat and keep my head cleaned out. hope it works.
the rest of the day i goofed somewhat. i went to the coffee shop, watched a Spanish movie (Y tu mama tambien!), ate vegetarian asian at Zen Garden with my blushing bride (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[sic- i always wanted to use one of those, although i don't know what it is-ed.]) and finally rode.
nothing too special abt the ride, which i did through the parks. seems that it should've felt warmer than it was, at 47 degrees. it was still breezy from yesterday, so i think that was the variable that reared it's ugly mug on occassion. surprisingly, i ended up with an avg of 15.7, which is brisker that i've been riding. i even through in a few hills for good measure, so i'm pleased. i'll be back in commuting mode tomorrow, this time with the LHT bedecked (except for Lumotec- we won't go there). i have to start tennis conditioning, so some of my commutes will be shortish given that i'll be leaving school later, but i'm hunting mileage!
