the plan is set

Having checked out the bikes at a local store, I am confident I will buy my new one next week at the shop that's a short drive away.

Will buy Megadeth today as I plan to run to it during lunch. I intentionally picked today for a run as they had predicted it to be 60 degrees. I was able to leave home the hoodie and just wear the under-armour type of shirt this morning.

Am still intellectually engaged in Crime & Punishment. I don't want to give anything away, mostly b/c there are soooooo many subscribers to my blog, but Rodya is cracking up and is on the verge of confessing out of guilt and maniacism. I'm roughly 150 pgs in. They are getting to more political/economic/philosophical discussions about the motivations behind certain crimes.

Today is the memorial service for my co-worker's daughter. One of my two-person dept. has to stick around in case things come up and so we can publish the paper, and it was more important for my supervisor to go, as she has known him longer. It has been a long long time since anything like this has hit as close as it has. I cannot comprehend the loss with my heart, only my mind and am almost glad I won't be around next week as I don't want to be here on his first day. Let him settle in and maybe the extra time will insulate it all for a while.

Yesterday I co-pub'd the Bar Results and my eyes were kind of shot but I still read on the way home. No one outside of my supervisor thanked me and I of course am only doing it for her and b/c she asks me to do it. The people who take the credit for this work never acknowledge that I do it and we're going on 6 years now, so that's 12x. That's why I'm in no rush this morning, nor any other.

Thank you for reading.
