Tomato Soup

by DShan on June 22, 2009

Somehow, I manage to stay healthy throughout the entire winter.

I managed to stay on the up and up for Chicago’s endless winter and make it through the freezing cold when I’d forget to where a warm enough coat and when I’d wear shorts to the gym just because of the hassle.

Then we fight ourselves through some month that the calendar said was June but looked more like November with its storms and rain and cold nights and now here we are.

Here we stand after a weekend of the two longest days all year, all sunshine and warmth and I don’t know about you but I was sweating just walking around this weekend.

And I stand here and I’m sick!

I’m sick and it’s gorgeous out and it’s almost 7pm and it’s sunny and I’m fighting a damn headache and sore throat.

My body is not a wonderland.

In the comments, feel free to tell me how you’re enjoying the weather…after all, vicarious living is still living, no?

  • Get well soon!

    I'm glad the weather is getting warmer now because the gloom and inconsistent temperatures for the past few weeks were starting to make me sick.
  • Poolside popsicles. Well wishes old friend!
  • it's the stress. and the not sleeping. and the overworking. all the extra daylight is tricking you into thinking you have MORE TIME. you don't.

    you don't.

    so sleeeeeeeep. and i can dig out a good homemade chx soup recipe for thursday night if you're still not feelin' up to par :)

    I'm pretty sure the immune system lets its guard down after winter.

    That's probably scientific.
  • You are a scientist, after all. I hate science right now, then.

    (Watch the religious right swoop in from Google, starting.....Now.)
  • and by better...i mean bitter.
  • If it makes you feel any better, it has rained for an entire month in NYC. Its rained and been cold SO much that I didn't even know the first day of summer was yesterday. Guess what? its gonna rain tonight. Its going to rain tomorrow. It'll probably rain all of July.

    I may be better that you actually were able to enjoy nice weather. But I do hope you feel better soon!!
  • I had heard NYC has been really bad. We have too, but you keep getting the
    storms we miss. The humidity is here now...it's as if Spring is just a
    non-issue now. Spring only happens in other states.
  • Ali
    That whole your body is not a wonderland had me cracking up.

    Thank you for that.

    And feel better soon!!

    Would totally bring you some (tomato) soup if I could!
  • It's not that far...tomato soup would prob make the flight from California
    just fine, no?
