i was lying in bed this morning thinking, "this is the longest february EVER." and that's saying something, because even in the best of times, february tends to feel like the long dark of Moria to me. when i first moved up here for grad school, the head of my department warned me that chicago's february could make even the most well-adjusted person feel mildly suicidal, if only because you just want it to be OVER already.
so i was in a february funk when i got up to walk the dog. but wonder of wonders -- the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the air smells clean and a teeny bit earthy, and i feel so much better. (hello, vitamin d...i have missed you!)
god, i love days like this.
