An East Coast girl goes Midwest on your ass. Sunday, May 3, 2015. It's spring, I'm working, I have a car. Yeah, yeah, I need to start a new blog.all the clever Boston or Yankee or whatever names are too cloying, so I'll take suggestions. So Been at the new job for a month and a half. Going fine, I'm doing the job, head of department seems to like me. Also working through the apparently inevitable social bitchery that happens with a mostly female office.

The Chicago Chronicles: Well, I almost made it.
http://chicagochronicles.blogspot.com/2015/03/well-i-almost-made-it.html
An East Coast girl goes Midwest on your ass. Sunday, March 8, 2015. Well, I almost made it. I'd been proud that I'd managed to not blow my stack at my sister the entire week. I love my sister. I worry for her. She also drives me right up the wall at times. Much of it she can't help, some of it she can. Sometimes I'm not sure which is really which. Uncle J - is at the Blackjack table. He freaked out when I told him about the taxi strike," she said. I don't want to interrupt his game.". I AM NOT GOING DOWN...

The Chicago Chronicles: Heaven is a place with lots of angels, fluffy clouds, and no paperwork.
http://chicagochronicles.blogspot.com/2015/03/heaven-is-place-with-lots-of-angels.html
An East Coast girl goes Midwest on your ass. Tuesday, March 10, 2015. Heaven is a place with lots of angels, fluffy clouds, and no paperwork. Because I'll be working at a hospital, the pre-employment screening is fairly extensive. I'm having flashbacks to the sea of forms my then-husband and I had to fill out to get him legal entry into the U.S. Like then, my reaction is a mix of "none of your business! And "Yeah, I see why you need it, but who the hell has records of their last TB test? Nice Places to V...

The Chicago Chronicles: And her record remains perfect.
http://chicagochronicles.blogspot.com/2015/03/and-her-record-remains-perfect.html
An East Coast girl goes Midwest on your ass. Monday, March 9, 2015. And her record remains perfect. Because of a planned taxi strike in San Juan between 9am and 1pm in response to the Uber situation, we decided to leave much earlier than originally planned, so that we could take an early taxi and avoid the possibility of missing our flight. In front of my sister, I set my phone alarm, and told my uncle I'd set my alarm for 6am. In the dark the next morning, I awoke to my sister's hand rubbing my arm.

The Chicago Chronicles: Alone at Last
http://chicagochronicles.blogspot.com/2015/03/alone-at-last.html
An East Coast girl goes Midwest on your ass. Sunday, March 8, 2015. Yesterday I walked alone to Old San Juan, and spent the day browsing, chatting with people, and generally decompressing. Alone, with nobody to look after, no decisions to make on behalf of anyone but myself, I felt free and relaxed. I do better on my own, am more social. I went into a sort of junk shop, with warrens of old books, tea sets, clothing, and yes, a bust of Adolph Hitler (? We talked about cats and their unfortunate lesser sta...

The Chicago Chronicles: First Real Day
http://chicagochronicles.blogspot.com/2015/03/first-real-day.html
An East Coast girl goes Midwest on your ass. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. Yesterday was orientation, where I sat in a room all day and listened to necessary but dry presentations broken by short but moving videos that yes, had me teary, dammit, and glared at the backs of the heads of people who couldn't bring themselves to put their smart phones away for any length of time. A person after my own heart," I said. This arrangement is basically because public transport in Boston has been less than reliable. ...

My path to crazy. Me, Myself, And You. An Open Letter To Chronic Illness. February 26, 2015. We’ve not known each other long, dear, but you’ve insinuated yourself into every aspect of my life. In fact, there is not a part of my life that you’ve not touched, and I thought it was time I finally told you how I really feel about you. I resented you when you first showed up. And honestly? In closing, I must thank you for changing my life. For all the good, and yes, the bad as well. I suppose you’...What ...
