dear reader(s),
once again, i apologize for the lack of posts. this is due mostly to a 40-hour work week, which, unsurprisingly enough, does not leave much time for the interwebs.
in the interim, i have (in list form)
came across a place to live rent-free for january 16th to march 1st
sold my first piece on etsy
pieced two more log-cabin squares for a queen-sized quilt
finished the corrugated ribbing on a second komi mitten
acquired a pith helmet at a twelfth night party, along with a hangover
nursed said acquisition delicately and lovingly (hangover, not helmet. must find way to return pith)
enjoyed a delicious vegan tofu, sweet potato and kale hash at the flying saucer
learned my first fiddle song
counted the days until i will never have to listen to quark again
frolicked about in the snow
stumbled upon a free wine tasting, every Friday at five.
adam and i will be moving into a gorgeous two bedroom wicker park apartment for the next six weeks, in exchange for providing cat care. expect pictures of cats soon! and then, by march 1, hopefully we will both have full-time employment and be able to rent our own place, without fears of hobo-like eviction.
there have been many discussions in the past couple of weeks re: life plans, and the general consensus seems to be that staying in chicago is the goal. there were opportunities to relocate elsewhere, most notably honolulu, hi or portland, or, but i have been living in chicago for three months now. i have a gym membership, i’m taking fiddle lessons, i’ve met some neat folks. i want to have cats, and pictures, and weird thrifted furniture. adam and i have been nomadic squatters, or so it seems, since august. it’s time to stop moving about and settle down for a little while (never fear, marriage is not part of this settling, although it is a weird feeling to have adam referred to as my husband at parties).
