just some things
So Chicago, and the Midwest as a whole, has had some incredible weather during the past week or so. It turns out my friends' house was hit by a tornado. Their house in the city, in Uptown, actually. I also was forced to ride my bike 5 miles in the middle of a thunderstorm, and I was terrified I was going to be struck by lightning, hit by a car, or skid my bike in the inches of water that flooded the streets.
Things with the guy are still going well. I'm still anxious about things much of the time, but he is incredibly sweet and kind and understanding and so I'm able to behave like a normal, rational person.
I also have a "screening" for a job on Wednesday morning (9am, ugh) downtown. I'm proud of myself, I applied for the job even though it seemed like a bit of a reach, and I got a call from the company arranging for a screening. Exciting!
Also, I'm having these strange longings for fall weather. It's been a little cooler the last couple of days and all of a sudden I'm thinking about jeans and layers and sweaters and lightweight jackets and SOCKS. I feel bad about it, and I'm reminding myself to appreciate the weather we have while we have it for soon enough the city will be frozen over for about six months. Still, I love autumn and am starting to get excited about its arrival :)
