The First of March
Despite the dizzying snow fall and the occasional blast of arctic wind, it's quite enchanting when you lift up your head and see the sun shinning in a patch of baby blue sky. Times like this helps winter pass just a little bit faster. Can't wait for spring.
On a side note, I can't believe I'm sick again! This is the third time in three months! The irony is usually I have the immune system of a cow. What luck.

Likening yourself to a cow is not usually a good thing...
I tried this tea called 'throat soother' for the first time the other day. Lemongrass, honey-lemon, cinnamon, ginger root and some other natural herbs. I nearly threw up after consuming half a cup of it. Flavor didn't appeal to me. But after braving the whole cup full, my soar throat was cured. Get well soon!
Chris:
The bout of sickness made me dillusional in thinking and writing. :)

But where, Rachel? Where are the hot boys at IU?? Are they all in Sammies? ;-)
It's more enchanting to life your head and see the sun shining down upon you, radiant and warm, as you lay by the pool in January and think "ah life is good". :)
...and that pool is at a luxury resort, set on a golden beach, on an island paradise, and you're drinking cocktails lying on a deckchair :)
or you fell and skinned your knee on a filthy dirt road in a hastily constructed settlement outside of the greater metropolitan area, and you are thirsty, so to screw up your courage you imagine yourself lying on the deck chair in the resort where your house used to be, challenging the sun to a staring contest. you hear yourself growl: i'm winning. it's getting darker.
also you are hung over from drinking over a liter of carlo rossi "wine-flavored alcoholic beverage" and the better part of a plastic bottle of rum made from the dregs of the still and flavored with artificial rum flavoring. when you close your eyes, you feel like you can see the lids, and you must focus hard so that things do not start spinning. it bothers you so that you can't get any water to wash your scraped knee.
then finally you get to pour some hydrogen peroxide on your knee. it stings and you can hear it bubble-you know it is working. you drink a mayonnaise jar full of iced water and have a shower, then sit at your computer to see all the blogs you have missed reading during your absence
I like the luxury resort scenario better :)
