You feeling any better Orbit?

I feel largely like ass - and not in a good way - cause I didn't get more than an hours' sleep last night, but am in bed currently and planning to take a wee nap soon.

but he didn't say to go home. I've only got half an hour left before my real quittin' time anyhoo. What a bummer!

But I think I'm gonna go home. Happy New Year Luna.
And the rest of youse.

best wishes.

The move was as smooth as possible. We got help loading and unloading. We had zero problems with the truck.

It somehow still hasn't hit me that we're here. It's overwhelming.

What can I tell you about Chicago that I didn't already know? Well, I think it's weird how you have to show your receipt before leaving Kmart, and that you can't bring your grocery cart out to your car to load it at the grocery store.

My mom got along just fine with Nick, though there were a couple of ick moments when she basically accused him of being lazy and impatient, though not in so many words.

Oh! I forgot to mention that a neighbor across the way yelled out his window at me the other day saying, "Could you try to keep your trash on your side?!" Then he slammed it down. It shook me up a little because it was my first contact with any neighbors, but then I met a girl from upstairs who seemed nice.

In other news, HI, EVERYBODY! HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!!

however, it feels like a monday, but it's actually a friday! that's a good thing.

I can't believe I've been in Chicago since Monday morning! Crazy.

Anyway, I'm happy today because I'm feeling loads better, even though I had both ice cream and sorbet for dinner, and because I'm FAPing tomorrow night. So then maybe I'll know someone else in Chicago other than my - of course I love him - boyfriend.

I don't talk about my life in detail soemtimes because it seems like it would just be depressing. But once in a while I'll open up to someone and they'll be cool and understanding and sweet and that just rocks.

Things have really sucked the past few days, but now there are some little tiny hopeful things. Partially because snow makes me inordinately happy.

It sure is weird living right next door to a church. Earlier we heard gospel music and real drums. Now it's quavery organ music and a choir. But also it's kind of neat walking down the block and seeing the big cross lit up right beside our door.

Hold on, Julia. Have things gotten any better?

This is almost exactly (ie, it ain't mine, and mine has different rims) my new car. Well, 2002, but it's new to me.

Yay car!

(Clearly I should become a taxi driver)

since roadtrips are being undertaken(undertook?), please head eastward after you pick up Mann. Canadian bands tell me that you can get back across the border easiest in Montana, then you're only two time zones away from michigan!
