back in brooklyn. details to follow.
Pretty much sums it up.
Until last week, the last time I spent more than a couple hours in Chicago was in 2000, and then I was in a completely different part of the city than where Carolyn lives. Hers is nicer.
I barely checked email, thought about blogging maybe once or twice, checked in with Bloglines and Ravelry and Facebook a few times, but overall I managed to not be as tied to the internet as I am when I'm home. I'm sure that contributed to the sense of peace and restfulness that hit almost as soon as I arrived. I also think not working and being in the Midwest played a huge role in how relaxed I felt.
Man, I needed that. I gotta figure out a way to hold on to that feeling.
As I said, more deets to follow. I have a lot of catching up to do. But I'm going to try to do it all chill-like and cool.
Welcome back!

You ARE moving, aren't you? (portland portland portland) Nobody works here. It's a city full of overeducated people pouring coffee for each other. (move to portlandportlandportland)
(And yes, Juno, you're moving here too.)

yay portland. no, wait, that's not really what i meant to say at all. cari just distracted me. what i meant to say is, revel in the midwestern love while you've got it, because it sucks being back from vacation. and there's no one here to offer you a pop.
