It's official I'm sick. One week before I leave for France and I'm sick. I have never been to France without getting sick before or while I am there. Perhaps it isn't spring, perhaps it is just France. Anyway, I'm exhausted from taking the antihistamines, I'm aching because I keep forcing my body to move. And I really just want to go to bed, unfortunately I am five hours till the end of class and five hours of driving to get there. Oh, and I know you are dying to know this....a side effect of the generic Claritin D is a constant, incessant need to PEE! Annoying at best, and yes I thought it necessary to share!
Small intermission in writing there to watch the Columbus Drive bridge go up to let the sail boats out into Lake Michigan from the Chicago River. Been going to school here for almost two years, never saw that before today.
So the trip this last week to Lexington KY and St. Louis was interesting. My new boss is awesome. He is fun to travel with and pretty laid back. I haven't had a boss this good since Rippe left. We had some extra time so we went up in the St Louis Arch. That was fun. Another test of my fear of heights but this one wasn't difficult at all. I'm fine as long as I am enclosed and without windows. It is more challenging with windows and it is damn near impossible without enclosure. I think my boss would have stayed up there all day. You can see right into the new Busch Stadium. The egg-pod tram ride up is the tiniest bit disconcerting, but not bad. I imagine someone who is claustrophobic would have a hell of a time in there. It is only four foot high inside the pod. Bumped my head a couple of times. It is a worth while experience.
I saw the Calumet Farm in Lexington. It is the white fenced farm you see every year if you watch the KY Derby. It is pretty. I was hoping to see it from the plane on the way out but we hit the clouds too quick. I was asleep moments after that.
Well, I'm home for this week and leave on Friday to come to Chicago and Saturday leave for Spain. Tuesday I will head for France and then back on Friday for school on Saturday. Ain't life grand?
