So, me and my ex-wife bought a house. And we need to buy furni and refinish the floors and undo all the "omg wtf were you thinking" DIY 'repairs'. And she's driving up here to move in next week. So, uh, I've been kinda distracted. (Once we get settled, come visit us in Chicago.)

Then there's all the Twitter stuff, which I won't even bother detailing other than "pretty much all the ex employees said this was going to happen" and "you can find me as antimoof@mastodon.online".

Oh, and 45cm of snow forecast for the weekend with -20C temperatures. So that'll be fun.

I am a wee bit stressed.

Much as I loathe the winter (one of several reasons why I've strongly considered fucking off to Spain), the "crack open the water taps to keep the pipes from freezing" sorts of temperatures aren't *that* numerous - maybe only a week or two out of the four or five months.

That said, you should totally go on one of the architecture boat tours; there are even multiple competing tours! (I prefer https://www.architecture.org/tours/detail/chicago-architecture-foundation-center-river-cruise-aboard-chicago-s-first-lady/ myself.) I will say that the winter being terrible makes Chicagoans appreciate the hell out of Spring and Summer, though.
