Chicago, IL.
I had fun. It was the most time I've ever spent in a big city. Joey came in from Lake Geneva yesterday and I was happy to see him. I miss Wisconsin and the lake.
It's very different from where I call home and what I'm used to. I don't know yet if I would like to live the city life. I do know that I spent too much money. I stuck my foot in Lake Michigan yesterday. And I wandered around where Lollapalooza takes place. Weird that it's right in the middle of such a congested area. Jennie and I wanted so badly to eat at the resteraunt that's in The Time Traveler's Wife (Clare and Henry met there) but we didn't find it. We think it may have disappeared or Joey says that it was just a joke that it never existed. We searched all over Clark Street in Lincoln Park. But we did get to see Mollys Cupcakes. It's more beautiful than I imagined.
But I just realized that in St. Augustine I won't have a car for a week anyway so I can manage with zero dollars until the paychecks start rolling in again. I was thinking I could pick up shifts during the week I'm in St. Augustine but...I just realized that without a car I guess I can't. I won't spend any money if I can't leave my immediate home though right? That will be interesting. It's noon and I've yet to get out of bed. Jennie will be home soon I hope. Maybe I'll take a shower...
