wanderlust
Perhaps it's simple "spring fever" but I have this very strong urge to get out and travel. In particular to load up the cameras and hop in the car and just drive somewhere. Around Lake Michigan, or out to the Badlands of South Dakota, or down to Texas, or somewhere. It could also be, in part, a reaction to not being able to walk very much during lunch these past couple of weeks, I'm not sure.
This past weekend was good. 
twench came over and helped me paint the kitchen while whippetgirl and helloheather scrapbooked and sat with Lauren.
The painting went well and we got done in a few hours (with the required stop for lunch and wait for the next coat) and then the five of us went to BW3's for dinner (mmmmm...wings) and Cold Stone for dessert.
Sunday I headed down to my grandmothers to install a wireless network. All told it went rather well and I even cleaned my uncle's computer of some persistent spyware. Of course, a few hours after getting back home I get a call that the wifi connection is b0rked. While on the phone, apparently the wifi magic pixies stopped by because it mysteriously started working again. I sure hope this isn't a trend.
And today during the lunch hour I was able to get out and walk in this wonderful weather. I chose a northerly route and headed up Orleans to Chicago Ave and then back on Franklin to Wells. Snapped a few photos and had lunch at "Brett's Kitchen" (a sandwich/burger place under the El tracks on Franklin).
