Hullo lovelies! I don't actually have internet at the apartment yet, so I'm haunting to coffee place again. Poor man. I buy one coffee and sit here for hours. Its been a hilarious few days here so far, I managed to find a bed last night, in the pouring rain -- it involved dropping it down from a balcony to david L waiting below -- and Friday night was kind of fantastic. Julia and David and I set off to a pub to hear a band play, and Julia could vaguely remember the bus stop but didn't know where to go from there. David typed the address into his phone, got some directions, and away we went. And then he realized it had been typed incorrectly, so we turned around. And then he realized he had read it wrong, so we turned around again. And again. We walked further....and further... and further. The neighborhood got worse and worse, until finally a woman stopped and asked us if we needed a cab, we looked so out of place. But we finally got straightened out [this was three hours after we started out] and headed back to the main street [we had given up on the show] and bus back home. A cab driver stopped and informed us that the buses were no longer running, so we walked another four miles home. And that was the entire evening. Wild nights in Chicago, i tell you.
This sounds like a time of ridiculous uncertainty for all of us. I've watched things work out beautifully over and over again, no matter how messy it seems, and no doubt this will be the same, but man. It feels so silly sometimes. I can't wait to see what these next few months will bring.
I miss you girls. We've been so lucky to have found eachother. Come visiiiiiiit!
