Perfect weather night for Christmas lights. Kieran and Carson have moved into their new home in Bentonville. So now they're spoiled to be able to walk to the square at will. We were leaving Azul Tequila when little man, Rowan got sick all over the sidewalk. So we had to hurry home. Poor little guy. 😿
Well I head home tomorrow. I'm filled with gratitude but also exhaustion. 🥱 I needed some solitude today after a full day of social input yesterday. So I people watched during my 4.5 mile walk around the Navy Pier and dinner. I saw a man propose to his now fiance, followed by a trolley of people screaming congrats from a road nearby. I then saw a rap video in the making. I saw people of many cultures just enjoying themselves. I loved it all.
I took part in an author showcase this evening. It was loud, yet interesting. And now my social battery is officially depleted.
Tomorrow I head home, the same way I left here 26 years ago. Just more clear-minded and grateful.
