I’m still recapping events in March. I can’t believe I’m going to be traveling again in a few weeks. In the meantime, to keep myself busy (and not spend money on nonsense) I’ve started some weekend projects in my apartment. The sun is finally shining here in Chicago, and I’ve been in a cleaning frenzy ever since. It’s amazing how much dust is around when you do not have good lighting at hand. For now, I’ve decided to tackle my cube bookshelf little by little. I have so many papers, magazines and catalogs I need to clear out. It’s ridiculous, but I’m excited to see how much neater my shelf will look.
Once I returned from Paris, the following day I had a dinner to go to for my dad. We were celebrating his birthday at Tequila CJ Grill restaurant on Archer Ave. It happened to land on the weekend for March Madness. My brother asked if I could accompany him earlier so he could watch the game nearby at a bar. I was fine with it, but as luck would have it, our dinner was pushed back an hour later. Oh well.
Me and my brother decided to go to the restaurant once the game was finished and hangout at the bar until everyone arrives. We were not aware of how packed the restaurant could get! The line to get inside was out the door! It was cold outside too, so me and my brother waited in the car until the rest of the family showed up. I couldn’t believe it, but our 7pm dinner was now reaching to 9pm and my dad and his wife was nowhere in sight. They finally showed up when the restaurant was clearing up and we all grabbed a table by the stage. There was a live performance that night.
My dad recently suffered an accident at work and was currently not working at the time. I’m glad we had the chance to celebrate his birthday outside of the house. I hope he enjoyed himself. He’s hard to read sometimes.
