Well, I should be doing some reading right now, but the thought just popped into my mind that I have not blogged in a long time. I am so bad at keeping up at this! Perhaps it should be my March resolution? Hmm...eh, no. I want to thank everyone for their wonderful Valentine's cards and candies and gifts that I received - how amazing it is to feel so loved from so far away! I have been meaning to work on my response cards and letters, but yes, haven't gotten to it yet. Expect them soon!
As you can tell by the name of this entry, yes it's been springlike. The weather has actually resembled spring for at least two weeks now. I absolutely love the feeling of walking out into a crisp spring morning where the smell of the air makes you think of the Easter mornings in your childhood where there was a nip in the air but yet you knew it would be warm enough later in the day to play in the park without a jacket. Or perhaps share a friendly game of basketball with the cousins, saying, "It's sooooo warm...I wish I would've worn shorts." In reality, it was probably about 45 degrees but it felt like summer. That's how it's been feeling lately. The first week of this weather, it was mid to high forties. Although the mornings are a little colder now (it's 22 degrees), the days have warmed up significantly (high of 47 today). I love it. I have thought many times that spring is here, and then I remember that it is only February and that I need to be careful of what I say. The first day I had my bike out was so empowering. I cannot even explain the feeling of being able to use my own power to get somewhere, with the wind blowing on my face. It felt so good. And so my bike has been getting its exercise since then as well.
Besides the spring weather, I have been sick for about a week. It revolved from scratchy throat to flu-like lung symptoms to cold-like phlegm to sinus-infection-like headaches to flu-like aches to almost-healthy and back to cold-like phlegm. I am so glad I got to share that with you! I have gone through a half of a box of Kleenex (mostly in the course of 3 days, but am still working on it) and all of my Emergen-C, which I need to go purchase more of.
Today I will find out whether or not I am granted a phone interview with Teach for America - cross your fingers! Hopefully we will also find out about Ethiopia soon as well...either way, I sense mucho work coming my way.
Also, my mom will be here in less than a month! Wahoo! Perhaps she will buy us both tickets to the Caribbean rather than to Whitefish, Montana, but both are probably equally as fun...and less equally as warm. Can't wait though!
Have a great day ya'll - miss you mucho.
