i don't have much to say.
i really don't. other than i'm feeling cabin fever. real bad.i think i just realized the term for it this second, but i've definitely been feeling like this for a while now. i'm tired of being inside and not being able to go running. it's like being in a car on a long drive and wanting to get out and stretch your legs. the sun was out the other day, and it was weird and made me realize that the sun hadn't been out in almost two weeks. two weeks! there's icy patches of snow left on the ground. and it's cold. the past few days have been okay warm, but it's cold here. the walk to and from the el is no fun anymore.
yes. it's chicago. i get it. it's actually warmer here than st. louis probably is. well, maybe. st. louis used to get really frikking cold. and now this false warmness gives a false hope that spring will be here sooner than we all thought. but this is the midwest. it's going to get really cold again really soon.
back to cabin fever. the fact that my truck was a total loss and is now being used for parts or something doesn't help fight the urge to get out of the house. i can't even go grocery shopping or do my laundry without having to figure out the bus routes or the el. and they raised the cta price to $1.75. that's an extra $10 a month i spend getting to and from work. just to work! not to mention i can't just go home when i have a few days off in a row. nope, i'm stuck here in my little room, laundry piling up and no food on my shelves. i just want to go running!
there are plus sides, though. i get to spend some kickass quality time with the roomies, it's actually kind of fun using only public transportation, and any other errand i have to run is like a mini challenge waiting to be figured out. i work at a coffeehouse people, it's not exactly a brain teaser.
anyway, this will all make spring that much better. people can come up to visit us in the spring and we won't freeze walking around chi doing nothing but enjoying the outside.
man, i can't wait for spring.
love, kate
