Just checkin' in.

It's a sad day in my Chicago world.

The one, the only, Kaitlyn Konarska has moved back to the Mitten for a new job! I'm so excited for her, because I think this will be a great career move...still, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad.

The election is on Tuesday...which means I'm almost out of the woods for work! I can't wait to close this chapter and move on with my life. Well, actually, moving on and moving back, I guess. Another nannying job has landed in my lap. This one is for a little baby boy, and it comes at a perfect time. I start next week, and am looking forward to working some normal hours, getting paid more than I do now, and continuing my job search. I'm also going to try to do some freelancing, so that should be pretty fun, too.

There isn't an awful lot going on in my world as of late. Mostly because work has been sucking the life out of me. I have to say, though, that my portfolio is stacked as a result of this campaign, so something good will definitely come out of it.

I'd been really looking forward to a nice, long trip home when all this is done. But unfortunately because of the new nanny gig, I'll only be in the Mitten next weekend. I'm still going to try to make the rounds in G Rap, but don't think my Mount Pleasant trip will be happening. Major bummer. But, I promise to make it up there before this year is over...perhaps the weekend before finals? Perhaps for Reggae? Let's make plans.

As always, the Windy City is a wonderful place for a quick trip, so if you're thinking about making one, let me know. I love company, and with all this free time I'm bound to have when I'm not working 24 hours a day...I'd love to show you around.
