I Made It to Chicago!
I overslept this morning. Crud.
I called the water people in Urbana, and they said that they'd make a note that I'm gone.
The trust people called and the house insurance needs a new home inspection. I told them the Friday after I get back. This place will be a mess though.
I got things together, although I was scrambling. I realized when I got outside that I forgot my ring and bracelet. Oh well. The airport limo got there a little early. It's expensive, but I think that it was worth it.
When they were boarding the flight, they stopped it and said that they needed to get another captain. I freaked and called the airport shuttle people. They said that Google said that the flight was only 15 minutes delayed. I told them that they knew more than I did. My old "get on the airplane and promptly fall asleep" was still in force; I dozed my way to Chicago. I had a hard time connecting to the airport shuttle. Finally I did, but the drive to the Loop took as long as the flight from Michigan! Chicago traffic sucks!
I love the hotel (the Cambria Hotel). They have a bar/restaurant that has awesome food. I had some really good salmon as the most diet-friendly choice. And I left some mashed potatoes on the plate. Go me! The restaurant serves breakfast too.
The area that the hotel is in (the theatre district) is great for people-watching. I DoorDashed some soda. Then I discovered that the plug for my cell phone charger was missing, so I DoorDashed one too.
I'm starting to yawn. I think that I'll go to bed soon and get a good night's sleep. Adventure awaits!
