For the last 6 months, I have been preparing for a big big move - to Eugene, OR. Everyone keeps asking me, "Why Eugene Oregon?" So, I'll just go ahead and answer it for you. It's a really nice place and I've wanted to move there for some time but never did because I couldn't find a job. When I got back from the trip in January, I told my boss that I wanted to move and asked if I could work remotely. She said we could make it work. Boom! It was that easy! My move date is June 29. That's the story.
The last few months have been spent tying up all loose ends in Chicago and preparing for the great move out west. I'm very excited. Last weekend was my last day at the Book Cellar, where I've worked part-time (on and off) for the last 5 years. It's the end of an era and the beginning of a new adventure.
I've set a few goals for these last few weeks that I'm in Chicago:
1) Pack up my apartment. This is pretty obvious. I'm sorting and packing and taking stock of all the possessions I've accumulated in the last 10 years I've lived here. there will be an apartment "sale" this Sunday at my place. I say "sale" because I'm hoping people will just come over and take the stuff that I'd otherwise donate. It's nice stuff and needs a good home. There will be pitchers of margaritas. If you want to stop by, let me know and I'll give you the details.
2) Go out as much as possible. I'd like to visit all the breweries in Chicago and a few bars. Who's with me? So far, I've been to Revolution Brewery 2x this week. What a fantastic place. Going out is my reward for spending a few hours every night packing. I'd like to hit up a Sox Game, the SC etc show, Violet Hour, Danny's, Neo, Big Star, Green Mill and all places inbetween. I don't really sleep anyway!
3) Makeout with a cute rockabilly man. Preferably one with glasses.
So that's that. The Shannon Rose Funtimes Express will be leaving the station soon. Get on board while you can. Let's search out an adventure.
