Okay, in reality my first meltdown probably happened my first morning here but I've been doing pretty well. Today I had to make the trek to Joliet to get my car licensed. I finally got all my papers together and got in my car and typed the address into my GPS. Nothing. I sat and waited and waited but it was searching for a signal. After a LONG time of nothing I went inside to print out directions online, the old fashioned way. The paper got jammed in the printer and I was so frustrated that I couldn't help but have a minor meltdown. I finally got the printer working, wiped my tears and headed out the door only to notice that the GPS did, indeed, find a signal and was now working. Even with my miracle device, I did manage to make a wrong turn on the way home and headed down a tollway that I didn't need to be on. So $146 (licensing fees) later I am home and relatively unscathed.
The other problem is that I have managed to lose my address book. I have EVERYTHING in my address book and purposely packed it last because I was still writing thank you notes. I have unpacked every possible box that it could be in and it's nowhere to be found. Joe asked if I had all the addresses on the computer. Um, no. That would be too easy. I am a visual person. I like things that I can hold in my hand and I like to write things down. So I may be contacting everyone to ask for addresses.

"The old-fashioned way." Hee-hee.
It really can feel overwhelming when you first get here. It literally takes forever just to get down the street. And our winters can be brutal. But in time, I know you'll find yourself excited about certain aspects of it, and enjoying your favorite city with your favorite guy.
tactile person, maybe?
