In spite of it all

I am really determined to do this every day, it's kind of a personal challenge. Sooo...

Yesterday: This one was hard to come up with, given the events of yesterday (another setback and frantically searching for a place to live). But I can honestly say that it was a great feeling when I zoned out and almost missed my train stop, because that means that I'm comfortable enough on the train not to be completely alert. Which also means it took me less than 24 hours to get comfortable with the El. Just 3 lines, but still. Go me.

Today: Being reminded of why I'm here in the first place. In many ways this has been the week from hell. Physically and emotionally draining, fast paced, etc. But I went to see Endgame at Steppenwolf tonight (the first thing I've done all week that I really wanted to do just for myself), and I was truly impressed. And it made me check in with myself and think about how what I'm coming here for is to do work like that. It's a good refocusing. Necessary.

Things are going to be okay. I like it here.
