Yo.
Moishe House Chicago is lucky to have so many birthdays to celebrate! I would say over 45% of our regulars have birthdays in February and I'm so excited that we get to celebrate them! We had a birthday party for Joe last night, and we're planning on having another group party this AND next weekend and that covers already six of our friends that have birthdays in February!!! AMAZING I KNOW.
The flip of all that is that it's FREAKING COLD. I have to say I'm grateful to MH for giving us the opportunity to continue to be social and have activities to plan and do during this absolutely miserable time because without it, I bet we and our core group of people would be really messed up. Ever heard of SAD (seasonal affective disorder)??? It's pretty funny actually. Poor us midwesterners, have to deal with a whole new disorder!!! The good thing is that we all go through it together. The dead of winter holds so much over our fair city, that once we make it out, we sure ROCK the summer. And baseball is starting soon....! It's the promise of another summer that will be the only thing that gets us through this.
So I use this blog to document this feeling of woa and despair that I feel day in and day out in this awful cold and bleak weather. It'll be funny to look back at it come May when we're all dancing in the streets and playing softball in the park and playing with dogs and riding our bikes and having a blast!!! I can't wait.
