Welcome to Chicago
Chicago
Day two was much the same as day 1 except much shorter (only about 4 hours) and at the end I ended up driving in bumper to bumper Chicago traffic after having not driven a car since 2001. Fun.

Time to pull off the road, Ohio
Jess and I drove for about 8 hours on Saturday. Nothing too exciting happened on the drive which is both good and bad. We pulled off in Toledo and stayed overnight there.

On the morning of the move I got up at about 6 a.m. so we could be to the UHaul rental center in Chelsea by 7:30 and get a truck. I decided to go as early as I could in hopes that that would guarantee that nothing would get screwed up. Jess picked me up in a cab on the corner of my street, Bedford, and 6th Avenue. New York City is such a different place when you’re up and about at that early of an hour. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping.. and it’s so quiet. Or maybe I was being overly sentimental because it was my last day in The City.
I’m in Chicago. Sorry for not updating. I can’t seem to shake this tiredness I’ve had lately and I don’t have an internet connection at home yet. The move went fine. There was nothing really exciting during the drive, which is good. Jessica and I stayed over in Toledo (craphole) and then arrived in Chicago at about noon on Sunday. We were greeted by my parents, my brother, my nieces, Nancy, Josh and my landlord. It was a bit overwhelming but I was grateful to have everyone there to make me feel at home and to help me unload and unpack. Unfortunately, Jess had to fly out early on Monday morning because of a family emergency. My parents stayed over Sunday night and on Monday we went to the supermarket and kmart to pick up all of the basic neccessities. On Tuesday Nancy came down and we went to Ikea. Furnishing a 2 bedroom apartment when you only had a single bedroom to yourself before is challenging but fun. These past few days I have been back at work. Figuring out the el. Discovering my neighborhoods both near my apartment and near work. I will try to post more when I get a chance.. but for now just know I’m doing well here.
