Well, I forgot my blog password on this trip. You'd think I'd have it memorized - but in truth, my home computer does. So when my laptop gave me the ol' blink-blink I'm-WAITING at password prompt, I was completely lost.
We're home.
And if I may be petty, just for a second, may I say... I won't miss Chicago traffic. Wherever we end up - unless we move onto a median strip in L.A. - will have less traffic and for that reason alone I bounce with anticipation.
Each summer, the hardest part is always the last 50 miles.
From the moment we saw the 'Welcome to Chicago' sign to the moment we turned off the car in the driveway we were in excruciating bumper-to-bumper and CD and I just looked at each other and knew we were thinking the same thought.
"I hope the house sells fast"... (you know, once we actually get it on the market.)
We may still love the neighborhood. The art glass in the living room that glows in the afternoons. The walk up to the park on a soft night.
But we are DONE with the traffic.
