You know it's a sad, sad day when I'm actually counting on the arrival of baseball season to be quick and fierce. Of course, with that said, I support no baseball team whatsoever, a fact that has kept me alive (and sane) for most of my life (don't believe me? Try walking into a bar full of Cubs fans and proclaiming the Sox as the ultimate win. I'd be amazed if you made it out in one piece). I do support the Bears as a football team, but they are the very reason I'm waiting for baseball to start up.
In my defense, I did try to watch this Arizona-Eagles game on my mini TV in the kitchen. Didn't work.
Anyway, now that the holidays have come and gone, and the charity events for the beginning of the New Year are out of the way, I still have zero free time. Or, close to zero. But I did promise CAWC that I'd come back for a couple of weeks this winter to help them set up their Awareness Conference. DAWN hasn't argued against it, so I guess I'm set on that front.
All in all, the most exciting news I've got is .. the countdown to Obama's Inauguration Day is down to two days, if you're rounding. I'm excited!

I've spent the last six hours cutting snow flakes for the boards at work. Not that I'm complaining. I loved every second of it. My hand hurts but. It was something nice and something light. And no matter how much I love my job, sometimes I need that break.
Anyway. I'm heading back to Chicago for Christmas and New Years. I think I must be stupid for doing it, cause my dad says it's been freezing and snowy and .. ugh. But I'm going back to spend time with the family and aside from the weather, I think it's going to be great.
Now, all that means is that I have to buy all the presents I need within the next two weeks. -.-

I know many of you don't know this, but .. my roommate? Makes a kick ass cowgirl. And I make a kick ass Indian. And .. Obama is going to make a pretty fantastic president. And I guess .. Evan Hartwell .. is going to make a pretty kick ass politician.
Yeah, that's all I've got. Literally. Between the few hours I managed some 'play' over the last week, mostly it's been work. But life is good.

So, I did it. I made the decision to move out of Chicago. I think mom and dad were shocked, but Dad seemed to get it. Helping people in Chicago was never really doing myself justice. Sure, I did some good, but I didn't do it for me. This job I'm taking up here, that's for me. One hundred percent.
I start work October 13th, which gives me enough time to settle in and explore Seattle. I can already tell I'm going to like it here. I walked down to Pike's Place this morning, grabbed a cup of coffee from Starbucks and just .. wondered. Marveled, really. I'm here. I'm really here, and Chicago seems like a distant memory.
Hopefully the new position will leave time for me to build a social life here. Is that selfish of me? I mean, I guess I could rely on the people I grew up with in Chicago. But this is a whoole new city, a whole new set of faces. I don't know anyone here except my bosses, and they're not exactly my age.
Anyway. I should probably get to unpacking. That's a good idea.
