Back from Chicago

This is sort of bipolar related. I got back to the home Amtrak station last night at midnight- 45 miles minutes late because we had to stop twice for a while. But my friend that I talk with on the phone every day made plans for this trip back in January.

We got to the Chicago station around 10:30 a.m. their time. We t to a museum that had a planeterium only to find out that that part cost extra. We didn’t go. We took at least 3 Lyfts over the weekend. Good thing we did because things were pretty far from our hotel. Except the train station. That was half a mile from the hotel and I was miserable!! My feet and back started hurting in a terrible way! My feet hurt to walk and so did my back! I was near crying! Instead I made grimacing facial expressions exclaiming I’m in horrible pain notices. But t there was nothing I could do but continue walking the rest of the way. I stopped several times . I was glad to sit down. Luckily we had several hours to get there so I could take as many stops as I needed. I really was hobbling along. We finally got dinner at the station and sat for quite a long time. I got up at 9:30 this morning when my friend left my place after spending the night before he went home. I went back to sleep and set my alarm for 2 hours later but didn’t get up until 5 p.m. this afternoon!

I’m still sore but not in horrible pain any more. Chicago itself was nice. Their buildings down town are very tall! And my favorite part was the exhibit at the science and industry museum. They have 32 real, preserved embryos and fetuses. I found that very fascinating. I took a couple pix with my phone. I also took some pix of this Mbu puffer fish. I used to have 3 puffers back around 2010.

Even after basically sleeping all day I got up and got chilis for dinner. I need to get more milk etc tomorrow.
