shortcut to the end (19)

end of the week (yay!). end of procrastination and laziness when it comes to the 365 project (definitely). end of torrential summer rain causing a waterfall through the kitchen skylight (hopefully). end of this crappy laptop (as soon as i can make a decision about the replacement). end of J (never!).
---------------------------> end of one thing = beginning of another.

twenty-six degrees (6)

not entirely accurate, it's actually a couple of degrees hotter than that. but when it comes to the galileo thermometer, we value historical style over technological substance.
