April 2005 Archives

In case anyone was wondering, my beloved Choo-Choo is back in the US with my best guy friend and his lovely wife to be. So a public thank you to then both once again for agreeing to be foster parents until mid summer. I miss him terrible and am constantly looking around my studio apartment thinking he'll come darting across the room, but then I come to my senses and realize that it will not be. I am comforted by the fact that he is well taken care of and that it is only a matter of months before we will once again be reunited.

My temporary studio apartment does not have access to the Internet. Thus the reason for my lack of posting. In any event, since arriving last Saturday, much of my time has been spend exploring the city trying to decide where I want to live. I have been North, South, East and West. I'm probably seen more of London these last few days than people who have lived here all their lives. Having said that, I'm still confused about where to live. It would be nice to live in the posh West End, but my budget won't allow it. So I've even visited a few suburbs, but I still can't make up my mind. Mainly because my housing cost is doubling but not the apartment size. Hopefully, I'll soon find that place I can call home. I start work next Tuesday so I'd like to make a decision before then. Wish me luck!

Greetings from London. No not London, Kentucky or London West Virginia -- London, England. There is much to write about my decision to move to the UK, but for now, I must get some sleep. I am still a bit jet lagged but I did want to let all family and friends know that I have arrived safely and that all is well. Will write more later. :)

Testing! Testing! Testing! Hmmm. I guess this thing still works. In any event, I am here trying desperately to get everything together for my big move. What big move you ask? Well let's just say that I'll be leaving Chicago soon. I'll miss all the friends I've made these last 10 years, but I'm ready to experience a new city. I had imagined I would be making the move with someone special, but alas I am going alone. Having said that, I am extremely excited about this new adventure. Hell, I can't believe I'm being such a risk taker. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Details on this new adventure will be soon forthcoming. In the meantime, back to organizing I go.
