So today is James's last day here with me in Chicago for a while. We relaxed, went and saw Iron Man 3, and had dinner at Chili's. There was a moment, right before the movie started, that I realized I'd forgotten James would be gone tomorrow. Of course, after I realized that, I got a little misty eyed. I did my best to push it away and focus on Robert Downey Jr.'s handsome mug. I worked for a while.
After dinner, we did a quick Petsmart run for Leopard Gecko chow, and now we are home. In a little bit we are going to catch up on the past few weeks of Hannibal, then hopefully not sleep until midnight. Mom and I will be taking him to the airport tomorrow at 8:00 am, and this is the second time in just 3 weeks I have to make this horribly sad drive to O'Hare and watch him walk away with a suitcase.
I can't just focus on the sad stuff though. I'm happy he has a job waiting for him there in Florida, grateful of all his parents are doing to help us, and excited we still have a working plan for this year to get our own place. I knew 2013 was going to be filled with changes and challenges so it's about time they get into gear.
Aren't we a pretty pair?
Internet, you'll be happy to hear that I think winter is finally out of Chicago. Reading the forecast, we're looking at high 50's and low 60's for at least the foreseeable future. YES! Time to break out the Spring/Summer wardrobe and forget about thick coats, boots, and long sleeves.
To celebrate getting over dreaded Wednesday in one piece, I decided to go out with the hubby. After a much need nosh on spinach artichoke dip, baked potato soup, and a 10 oz. steak for dinner, we headed to the movies. We saw The Host. Which by the way was awesome! I remember reading the book my freshman year of High School and enjoying it, so having a movie version that was ACTUALLY worth seeing was nice.
As if you needed more fantastic news, but I've finally broken the demon sickness known as The Flu! I woke up today feeling so great, was totally ready to go to work, and I've got lots of energy. So look out Thursday, Adela's here to ROCK YOU!
