proofs came back today, tomorrow I’ll email McNaughton & Gunn to give them the go-ahead. This feels like crossing the finish line to a race that was longer and more exhausting than I could’ve ever guessed. This is the part where I’m lying in the grass, heaving and in disbelief at my (meager?) achievement, after finishing with a very poor time, but, you know, still a PR. (In other words: Thanks ineffably for your continued patience).
