I’ve been getting word this morning that it is snowing in Bend. I’m guessing my poor little garden (at least the tomatoes) is toast from the cold weather a week ago and…ummm…snow today. Tell me there’s no global climate change happening. Two months of summer in Bend and 10 months of crap. I thought it was supposed to be nice and sunny there all the time? Guess it doesn’t matter anymore since it’s no longer my home.
Me on the other hand. I’m in steamy Lincoln Park in Chicago sitting at a cupcake place called Molly’s. I had the Minty Mash Up cup cake and a killer cup of coffee. Awesome. Now I’m ready to walk around for another couple hours exploring the streets of Chicago looking to what kind of trouble I can get into. Suggestions anyone? Might wander into a pub for a frosty brew this afternoon since I have little else to do these days. And I’ve got this great head cold leaving me a snotty mess. Someone once told me beer cures all aliments. Well, at least helps my immune system.
As the hours tick by, it seems more likely that I’ll be changing my flight on Wednesday in order to wait for my passport to arrive back to me. It’s kind of a big deal, but then again not. At this point in the process I shouldn’t have expected anything different since just about everything has had a wrench thrown into it. Nothing has gone off without a hitch. I’ve got about 4 hours to hear from the Embassy on whether they have sent my passport back before I start canceling reservations and appointments.
I leave you with this picture of me hugging Sleepy Time Bear at the Celestial Seasonings Factory in Boulder. That should brighten your day.
PS – I would like to thank the Starbucks cater corner from Molly’s for providing free wi-fi today and also thanking for Apple for making a computer that can actually pick up a wi-fi signal from 30 yards away in another building. Killer.
