This entry is a little late! But I\u2019m picking up where I left off, and I aim to catch up on posts this week.<\/p>\n

Sunday, the day after the wedding, I tried out my new instructions to myself for taking public transit home from the airport.<\/strong> The mistake I made last time was choosing the wrong stop to leave the \u201cL.\u201d The Clark and Lake station is confusing, so in my instructions afterward I steered myself away from it. This time that first leg of my journey from the airport to the Metra station went flawlessly, thanks to my notes. It was dark when I got there, but that just gave me some terrific photos of the city.<\/p>\n But it also meant I\u2019d started the trip pretty late, which was the mistake I made this time. It pushed my train ride home very late, and I had to sit around Ogilvie for an hour-and-a-half and have awkward conversations with the panhandlers circulating through the building, a surreal experience I have to say. Then when I got to my local train station, it was way past the last bus, so I walked home just to see what that was like. I booked it with my luggage trailing behind me and got home 15 minutes sooner than Google Maps had predicted. It was a very sweaty time.<\/p>\n\n
