living in chicago

I’m Here.

I’m here, in Chicago. Unpacking like crazy. Weirded out by the driving and try to avoid it when possible. I’ll feel so much better once I’m all settled in.

I’m Here!

Made it. All my stuff’s inside, and I am pooped. Still have to go drop the truck off, though. Then going out for pizza. Yum.

The arduous task of unpacking starts tonight tomorrow soon. Didn’t sleep well last night, so I think I’ll not do a whole lot tonight. I want to rest, now that the big, worrisome part is behind me.

The highlight of the trip, besides being proud that I drove for six hours for the first time, and also drove across state lines for the first time (before then, the farthest I’d driven was from Columbus, OH to Aurora, OH to visit my mommy), was when we were leaving the McDonalds in Indiana. While I was waiting to back out of my spot, this red truck came barrelling, I mean BARRELLING around the corner and to the Drive-Thru. My reaction was “Damn, that bitch was…HUNGRY!” Adam and I laughed our heads off.

Maybe you had to be there.

Lucy is hiding in the closet. She needs a bath. We thought we’d lost her. I was vacuuming the old place and she got spooked and ran out of my room. I found her hiding behind the toilet, and put her in her carrier. She cried only a little bit on the trip out. Crookshanks seems to like her. He sniffed her and immediately started purring.

Didn’t have to deal with too many idiots on the drive out, and didn’t hit traffic ’til we were IN the city and it wasn’t that bad, actually.

Anyway, I’m here now. No longer in a long-distance relationship! YAY!!!!! Weird that I actually LIVE here now! Missing Aidan tremendously already, but I will bust my ass to get back to see him really soon.

OK, gotta try to move some boxes out of the way. Even with all the decluttering, I have a lot of stuff. Ta ta for now!
