I am not lying in a gutter somewhere in Chicago

I lived! And it was kind of fun. I mean, I was practically delirious by the time I got to my friend’s house and fell into bed. It was fun in the I’ve-never-done-anything-like-this-before-and-I-did-it-anyway kind of way. Flight canceled, spend 13 hours in the airport (I didn’t post yesterday until I’d been there for a while), eat almost nothing for 24 hours, catch a new flight to a different destination, find my way through O’Hare to the bus station (which is an entirely different building, BTW), buy a ticket, and make it to my parents’ town without getting mugged, lost, or kidnapped. And I won!

It’s kind of exhilarating.

I miss my kids, but not as much as I thought I would (so far). I miss Jeremy MORE than I thought I would. I mean, not that I wasn’t expecting to miss him at all, but I’m far more used to being away from him for a few days at a time.

I’m cutting this short because I have to get up early, but remind me to tell you about Racist Scottish Lady.

Oo, Racist Scottish Lady sounds hysterical. That is one part of my Scottish-ness that I’m not particularly proud of. Scots are incredibly racist. 🙁 ~rory

Nice job! I always felt proud of myself when I learned to travel on my own, esp in Chicago or with Maddie on my own. Pretty awesome.
