Guess who’s writing this from the Warwick-Allerton Hotel in Chicago? This girl!
After the couple of weeks I had, this conference will be a well-earned break. The students have been off the chain in anticipation of Spring Break, the greyhounds are nuttier than usual (and given that Jonah is a walking psychotic event, that’s saying something), and my younger child decided it would be a fine idea to swallow a Band-Aid last week. He’s fine. It came out the traditional way. I can’t say the same for my sanity. In his defense, he is only fourteen months old.
Since the Let’s Just Write Conference doesn’t start until about 6pm today, I spent the day at the Field Museum. Yeah, my Facebook and Threads are getting a workout. The Chicago Archaeopteryx was amazing! Sue was her usual awesome self, and I got to have breakfast and lunch right under Maximo the Patagotitan’s rear end. I’d say it was a most excellent start to the day.
On to the actual conference!
