Nice Day


(Ice Skating in Millenium Park and 71F weather)

It puts the Persephone's Bees song in my head.


Yesterday was A-MAZING! Even better than Sunday and Monday. Hit the 70s by lunch time. Me and every other worker bee headed outside. Filled up by a slice of deep dish (Lou Malnatti's was delivered to the office and there was leftover Gino's, sparking a bit of controversy.) Walked over to Millenium Park, where I found an empty pallet, took off my shoes and just stretched out in the sun, absorbing all that good Vitamin D through my work clothes.


(my sprawl) (everyone else's sprawl)

W
hat I wanted to do was sprawl out in the grass, possibly in my underwear, but that wasn't terribly feasible. Lesson - make like high school. Wear comfy clothes under the uniform. Hidden beneath the oxford shirt and wool kilt was a Beatles' t-shirt and shorts.

(This is why I didn't strip. Just say no.)

Throughout the day, I was all spring-fever-y. Everything was a good thing. Skipping across the street to pick up my paycheck, or alarming my co-workers. Finally caught K. on the phone. And after a 90 minute chat, I pulled on a t-shirt and sandals to walk about. What started as a quick errand ended up as an hour long stroll around LP. Stopped into Lush, a swanky fresh soap store, which smells wonderful and was handing out samples of face mask.

Watched Stranger Than Fiction with the sliding door open. It was fun to get my Chicago local on, and cheer for Cheryl (she played the Snow Queen at VG and the Head ER Nurse in the movie). Very interesting movie. Although I disagreed with the idea of it being Generic City when it was so obviously Chicago. Like you see the Monadnock (a famous building in town), Daley Plaza with the Picasso statue, and other very specific locations.
