Spring Fever....-Amy

Ok, so I seriously believe in seasonal depression. Was I depressed this winter? No. But, I have noticed a HUGE change in my mood since the days have been getting warmer. You know the part in Elf when Will Farrell is singing, "I'm in a store! And I'm singing!" Well, this morning I actually caught myself singing that tune in my head but with these words, "I'm in the car! With my window down!" No joke.

I didn't think winter really bothered me, and I actually have thought to myself that I was handling my first chilly Chicago winter very well. And I still think I did. BUT, I never wanted to leave the apartment after I was in, I had to brace myself to go outside, and I only went places that I could get to with a minimal walk.

Now, I want to be outside ALL DAY LONG. I actually look forward to my morning duties at school that involve me standing outside. I voluntarily take the long way outside just to feel the fresh air. I am meeting up with people more often. Errands aren't as annoying. The drive home is excellent with the window cracked.

And... I catch myself singing in my head.

I'm afraid that this is just a cruel, cruel hoax and that the dreaded sub zero temperatures will come back. But for now... I've definitely got Spring Fever!

P.S. I would be happily singing in my head even more if I was headed to Siesta Key with my sisters... I'm so jealous. Miss you Grandma and Grandpa!
