Gray, drizzling rain, cold
clammy weather. It's like Illinois is trying to prove to everybody, including
me, that moving from Florida was bad. True, not having a home of our own for
the interim is a bit troublesome, but my sister Lisa has been the most gracious
of hosts. My brother Gary went out of his way to find us a really decent car to
replace the PT Cruiser. Mark absolutely loves his new car and most shocking, he
seems to be a better driver when he's behind the wheel of the Ford. Not good
enough to brave the dreaded Dan Ryan, sixteen lanes of mayhem, but better.
Seeing my mom almost every day has been sweet, even if she forgets that we were
there moments after we walk out the door. Bette has found her pee pad pissing
place in my sister's basement, so I don't have to wake up three times a night
to take her out anymore. Best of all we are only twenty two days away from
closing on the new house, and I think we have found our new tenant for the
upstairs apartment. My friend Dennis has said he wants it. The best part about
that is that when I call him up and ask if he wants to go out for a drink, he
won't have far to go when he picks me up. So screw you Illinois weather. I have
warm clothes, an umbrella, and I'm sure I can buy a pair of boots somewhere for
the inevitable winter. Besides, I've always wanted to run a snowblower.
