So yesterday I had a meeting downtown, I plotted my route and set my alarm so that I could make it in plenty of time even if the CTA was late. Well....I woke up and hour and a half later than my alarm!!! Thank the universe for an awesome friend, who happens to live next door, who dropped everything to get me to my appointment on time!
Leaving my appointment I used google maps to get home, sadly i missed my bus so i refreshed, walked 8 blocks to the train, missed it by 30 seconds, refreshed and replotted.....Finally made it home and met my guys at the beach for an lovely relaxing afternoon. Then being Tuesday I had to jump on the red line then the 80 to get to my students by 6 :)
Today I had 2 objectives, check on my brothers house and plants in the burbs, and get to my bank branch.
D and I set about about 10, took cta to a metra stop, transferred and walked to my brothers. I took the opportunity to stop by a local shop owned by my childhood friends family , where she now works, to pop in reconnect and show her how big my lil guy has gotten.
After we watered the plants, cleaned up the raccoon scavenged garbage and secured the house we wandered to the park I used to play at as a child, the book store where I spent so much time and money, and the toy shop, where a picture of my neighbor(who was half owner) was displayed, made me smile!! I bought Dwyer a butterfly net and some bubbles, and some kindergarten skills cards, yes I am always a teacher. We stopped for lunch an them Mom met us, graciously took us to our bank and to BK for a 2nd lunch, dern kid was still hungry, or he just wanted a toy! then on to home.
Tomorrow, I have another meeting on the mag mile, because I also need a sitter, D's Grandpa is on duty as my chauffeur and D's sitter. After that we hit the beach....trying to squeeze in as much time there, and with D, as I can before school starts!
