It’s Friday!
It’s Friday, and that means I’m off to Chicago! I’ve given up on hoping the weather will be one way or another, and will just take whatever I get. I would prefer that it not rain TOO much, especially since I’ll only have one pair of shoes (I’d like to not wear wet shoes for three days…) But you know what? For every problem, there’s a solution. I’ll work it out! Other than the weather, this turns out to be the perfect weekend for my trip. I didn’t realize it when I booked my flight, but my daughter has no school today. This makes life SO much easier for my husband- I do 100% of the kid duty as far as lunch/transportation etc. and it was going to be hard for him to deal with that and get himself to work. One problem solved! I also didn’t know when I booked my flight that my son has a concert Saturday night, so I’ll get to hear him play! It happens to be Family Weekend at NU, so most people will be going to the football game- I’ll be going to an orchestra concert. I’m sure there will be other “Family Weekend” events going on while I’m browsing in bookstores. Yes- I am the nerdiest nerd in the world. Speaking of which, I’ve chosen my airport/plane reading material: It was between this, Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House or Andrew Weir’s Project Hail Mary. I figured this one would be a fun, easy read, and I’m curious about this series. It’s middle grade, but the writing is interesting (so far) and Meredith (Currently Reading podcast) loves these books. Luckily I can leave and feel confident that our felines will be fine without me for a couple days! What do you have planned for the weekend? Top photo by Max Bender on Unsplash
