A Journey of a Thousand Miles...
Jul. 2nd, 2013 08:25 pm...Begins With But a Single Step.
When I was growing up, we used to visit my paternal grandmother in Wisconsin, and we'd always say that when we rolled out. I'm going on a journey of 450 miles, but somehow, that's not as poetic.
I had a great breakfast this morning at a place called West Egg (in Chicago), and the cute waiter didn't hurt either -;) I had no problems getting to the train station or catching the train.
I'm back in Springfield. The train was on time, somewhat to my shock. My original plan was to do laundry, repack, and head out for Michigan. (I'm driving.) However, I've decided to stay overnight and leave early in the morning. Very early in the morning--I'm hoping to leave at 6 or 7. Seriously. There's a fireworks show that my mom and I want to go to tomorrow night, so that's why I need to get an early start.
It looks like the little bonsai tree might be a casualty of my trip. I thought that I told the pet sitter to water it every other day, but I guess that I didn't, and she watered it only once. I've asked her to water it more often, and we'll see if it bounces back or not. Oh well.
