It was no big deal...

but GOD, Chicago traffic was horrible. creeping along, trying to see over the looming semi in front of me to find my exit...four miles traveled in 25 minutes, i'm proud to say. but it was a good trip, and somehow we managed to get there and back without getting lost in the labyrinth of the city a single time. now, the waiting. do we move to the windy city or not? cross your fingers for me, because that's where i wanna be.

it's shameful of me, not updating like this...my mind has just been on too many other things - the bulk of them the job interview for my hubby which went smashingly yesterday, and now a possible pending move - and frankly, i haven't been motivated to do anything about it. i've fallen into a kind of complacent slump that only comes when you know your time at where you are is about up and you can't be bothered to care anymore. unless you've moved as often as i have, you might not be familiar with the sensation i'm describing. i may as well flush it out of my system now, because we will be moving eventally, and that means packing up the damn u-haul again. son of a bitch. can i just say i abhor moving?

what else is new? hmm...oh, who am i kidding. i'm not thinking about anything at all but moving, more money ($ka-ching$), and how i'm ever going to find a decent apartment in chicago with what i want (fireplace, w/d hookup, cats allowed, dishwasher, covered parking - ha! as if that'll happen - close to the train) and not pay upwards of a thousand a month. i know, i'm dreaming. maybe if things go well, we'll look into a house. hear they're still reasonable on the west side of town. do you see how set i am on getting there? how can i lose, right?

don't answer that.
