Trains

Trying to write on the train isn’t easy. You have to time your words to the wobble and jerk. Crossings mean a bumpier ride. We went through very quick this time, kinda like blinking and we’re there.

It looks like we can make the 8:05, provided D’s train is on time. I don’t know if we’re stopping or not. We’re 3 minutes out of Glenview.

Staying in Chicago overnight depends on D, whether she wants to or not. We’ll have to call N and tell her to be at the station at 9:30 then.

Part of me wants to stay in Chicago, do something different for a change. However, at this point, we can’t really afford it.

Any train after dark is pretty boring, not much to see unless you’re in a city. We’re in Glenview, and there’s a sign saying Union Station is having mechanical problems, and all trains leaving maybe 15 minutes late. I wonder if that was the trouble on December 23rd.

I got bad news from the owner of Planet Bead. All of MATC’s jewelry classes have been cancelled. They will not be offering it any more. This hasn’t really sunk into my brain yet, but it is a blow for our learning options. Maybe we’ll do GIA or schools in NC or FL.

But they are people who you wouldn’t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don’t understand because you don’t know enough about them.. On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are “in love” with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless. They are the people you see in your mind when you hear a song on the radio because they made you go up ...
