In case you hadn't noticed, it snowed in Chicago! That meant that it was blowing in my face all the way to my eye appointment! (Thanks google maps for giving me the wrong directions!) Looking down on State Street from my window, it is quite clear that Chicago is unable to keep up with the snowy state of our fair city. Quite honestly, I saw a Chicago Dept. of Sanitation truck pull up today and start unloading about 25 snow shovels. There were only about 5 people there TO shovel. Does anyone see a discrepancy here? Was I supposed to pitch in? Because I'm pretty sure I pay the city to clean the streets.
And so without further ado, THE FIVE THINGS I AM HOPING FOR FERVENTLY:
1. The snow stays pretty for awhile. I love this city, but I hate it once the snow gets gray and ugly. And it happens FAST.
2. The snow gets cleared off the sidewalks within a reasonable period of time. Having soaking wet shoes CANNOT be good for you.
3. Chicago gets around to clearing the snow for more than just the tourists. Seriously, State Street and Michigan Ave are cleared, but once you get past Roosevelt? Ankle-deep snow on the sidewalks. Cold wet and mushy.
4. It's not too cold after it gets done snowing. Have you ever noticed that when it's snowing, the temperature warms up a little? I just hope that it's not icy cold with a windchill of -7 tomorrow.
5. PLEASE PLEASE cancel my 8:30 am contracts class!! And it would be nice if DePaul would TELL US about it this time.
In other news, and for a good laugh, I went to the optometrist today. The nurse had me take my contacts out, and then I followed her to the exam room, where I began groping blindly for the chair. The optometrist walked in behind me while I was acting like a blind old lady. After putting in new contacts for me, I found out that the optometrist was HOT. And he saw me trying not to fall out of a chair.
Thanks, God. Hope you enjoyed the laugh at my expense.
