Torture

Oh. My. God!

 There is a car alarm going off outside our apartment and has been doing so on and off for the last 2 hours.

I think I might go crazy!!

I thought I had the culprit in sight and they were illegally parked.  Perfect!  I dialed up 311 (Chicago’s non-emergency line) in hopes of getting the car towed.  When the receptionist finally answered the alarm went off and I realized the illegally parked car had their flashers on…leaving me to believe that maybe, just maybe, that car wasn’t the culprit.  so, I gracefully hung up.

So for the last 2 hours I have sat here listening to the lovely sound of a car alarm.

I think I might scream.

Medicine for cabin fever

On my latest business trip I was near Virginia Beach so I couldn’t resist the temptation to see the ocean.  It was 60 degrees-not exactly beach weather but I was happy.  Here are a couple pictures I took:

It was refreshing to be in such warm weather.  It was just what I needed before I headed back to the 20 degree weather Chicago is currently experiencing.
