there's no denying


i guess that i'm still kind of in denial about the weather here in chicago...for the last 4 months we haven't needed a coat of sweater of any kind...you could just go ouside and be free! just one week ago it was almost 90 degrees out and a guy died while running the marathon partially because of the heat...one day it could be 90 and then get into the 50s at nite...pretty bizarre...
for the past week its been cold....it's been round 50s...sad part is that in a month i'll be praying for 50!! i don't know why i do this to myself....the city itself is beautiful and has so much to offer..we've got museums, restaurants, theatre, shopping, pretty much we've got everything that you could ask for in a major city...and we have one more thing that some cities don't have...we've got times when the temp gets in the single digits and lingers there for days... even worse than the temp can go below zero....this is when i ask myself...why am i here? is this place really worth all the layers of clothes that we have to bundle on ourselves til we look like our own little snowmen..
when i was young the cold didn't bother me as much...i had a little more padding and hadn't lived in Florida yet....i was SO spoiled there...amir's always talking about wanting to move back there and i keep telling him no....in a few months i won't understand my reasoning when you step outside and it feels as though someone's slicing you with a knife....i do like living near my family though....i guess that they are the main reason that i'm still here....AND chicago IS a fun place to live...can't forget about that one...more people need to come here (in the summer) and experience this city...it's one of the us's major cities
unfortunately, the only thing that will persuade me to move away from this land of frozen corn and abe lincoln...is moving out west....let's move to california, amir! just try and not think about the earthquakes! there's so much more to the state than that...it's so beautiful out there..it really feels like a whole different world and that's why i am so obsessed with it..
anyway, my whole point in writing this was to say that i think i can no longer deny the fact that it's getting cold...because as it looks right now, summer is over...fall is here and winter is coming and probably sooner than we all think....which brings me to another point...come let me give you a massage because winter and the cold tightens our muscles and makes us have many more aches and pains...arnica and heat blankets can only do so much...it's much more exciting to have someone that cares rub all of your tension away.....so, come see me and i'll have some hot chocolate and hot tea waiting
