doomed: the diary of an hourly partner

chicago smells like chocolate.

kris and i went out today and walked around armitage and north ave. it was so pretty out today and it was so great to be outside and have the sun shining and not be freezing. the weather has definitely improved my mood. i smile and have fun with my customers again. being outside isn't sheer misery anymore. we took the grand train to clark and lake and it reminded me of when i first came to chicago. and as kris and i were waiting, the station kept filling up with the chocolate smell that is always around in the summertime. later we took the halsted bus to grand and walked the old way home.

you know how in the spring or fall when you spend all day walking around and all the fresh air makes you so tired by the end of the day? and then sometimes you even get sunburned on your cheeks a little, even though it's still kind of cold out? that's what today feels like. it's nice to know summer will be here and this time we'll know the city and know things to do and places to go.

i'm in love with chicago again. and we just live here.

love, kate
