Greetings from Chicago, folks!
I'm excited to see what unfolds.
I went to an awesome church today and in a few hours Maple Anne is going to be a Catholic dog. It's the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi today, so a lot of churches are throwing blessings out there for the four legged. Luckily, I have a nice sweater for Maple... because everyone knows blessings count more when you are wearing your finest threads.
I need to get out there and do some exploring. My days lack a lot of structure because I'm still in the transition zone... aka unemployed. I think transition zone is a better term for it. Maybe this week I'll get a job? Maybe I'll make a new friend? Maybe I'll see an elephant? There is a free zoo nearby so these are very possible things.
Can't wait for my bus card to arrive in the mail.
