Struggling right now with a monster headache. Wondering if it's caffeine related, since I skipped having coffee today. Hope I'm not that addicted to it. Last night there were some Loop switching problems on the El, so it took me a while to get home. Of course, announcements weren't all that helpful. First announcement maybe 5 minutes after I get onto the packed platform at Washington/Wells: There was a switching problem that's been fixed but all trains are running normal. Packed Purple Line goes by. Trains take a long time leaving the station, and stand waiting to get into the station. And then at least 2 Purple Lines go by on the outer track. And still no announcement. Maybe 30-40 minutes later, a Purple Line comes by and they start making announcements about Purples on the outside track, and that there's a backlog of trains that they're working on fixing because of the previous switching problems. Nice. Anyway, Tracy made a grilled chicken and asparagus salad for dinner, and we sat and watched the first part of the Grey's Practice and Private Anatomy crossover two parter. Oh, and stuck a load of laundry in. So I've got socks again.
