aw, it was deleted. which probably means it was awesome. whawasit?
just kinda sat around last night and watched some netflix movies (ryan found a new reality tv show - some celebrity rehab thing with dr drew and i think he watched it for 3+ hours). shoveled out a bit, but it melted enough overnight that it wouldn't have mattered. i was pointed out this morning that this is "heart attack" snow. you know, the heavy stuff.
i'm having a bad day. already i know it's a bad day. i don't feel great, they closed the bridge onto goose island so i had to drive all the way around and took about 40 minutes to get to work. and everyone is high strung/strung out and all this other going wrong minutiae. for instance, i'm not getting soup for lunch because i already know i would spill it on myself.
and i think cabin fever is setting in. right? RIGHT?! c R a Z y T i M e.
so i watched this movie last night called "the future of food" and it made me wary of a lot of the modern agriculture system. and i'm always really freaked out when i go to the grocery store to buy a red bell pepper and find out it's from israel or something. so i think i might try something new this year. community supported agriculture. basically, i give this organic farm in NW illinois money up front. then for 24 weeks, mid june to early december, every saturday there would be a box of vegetables for me at a drop off in logan square. the thing i'm not sure about is that what if i'm not around that weekend? no vegetables.

Cabin fever is setting in. Last night I rolled around on the ground, partially whining; stood forehead against the window looking out-stuck inside-stuck in snow-stuck in layers of cotton and polyester blend---well, that's what my dazed eyes said. Katy and Lauren started to get a little freaked out.
I've been noticing the last few days--I've never suffered so much from cabin fever. What's going ONNNN???
"Going wrong minutia"--you just articulated my recent consciously aware yet undefined through language...involuntary reaction to cabin fever.
So, in an attempt to fight the cabin fever before it is again temporarily too late to fight--ya know, severe cabin fever that in and of itself is incomprehensible of possible cabin-fever-defeat----Katy and I wrote out a schedule before bed last night. Today has been declared "Cheryl and Katy's DAY. OF. PRODUCTIVITY". Noon: Coffee; 1: Clean; 1.30: Yoga-Dance Fusion DVD; 2-3.30: Various Job Searching/Showers; 4: Haircut(s) (Chauffer: Cheryl; Stuck-In-Cabin-Fever-Due-To-Car-Towing Passenger: Katy; Free-Haircut Recipient: Katy; Pending Free-Haircut Recipient: Cheryl); 9: PARTAYYY (Mt. St. Helen's @ Empty Bottle---wanna come? Pending Attendee: Cheryl, due to double commitments to Favorite-Peoples: Katy and Kurt)
SO: I'm thinking of you today. I wish you the successful avoidance of soup-spillage, the implementation of humor as a fighting tactic, and clear sight of today's end reward, if you so choose to accept it: hugs from Cheryl.
In other news, I love how you articulate yourself, Community Supported Agriculture sounds like a fantastic revelation in order to defeat this fucking controversial American agriculture system, and the job posting I meant to share with you was for a "Children's Party Leader" who's job description is to dress up in full costume as children's characters such as Dora the Explorer or Elmo, and to carry out typical duties for a children's party entertainer.....ya know, whatever one would expect from a LIFESIZE FUCKING CREEPY ASS LIVING ELMO. Carrying balloons. Sporting a permanent smirk on his/her face (Elmo has no genitals; diplomatic reaction to the sexual abuse crisis? Sesame Street in support of gender neutrality? Cheryl needs to shut up now?)
Call me.
Cheryl
