KK's Adventure Day 4

The fourth and last day of my Chicago Adventure.

esterday was our last full day in Chicago. We mostly sat around the house doing nothing. Well, not nothing nothing. There was board gaming and puzzle-putting-together and book reading and napping and such.

I mentioned before that we stayed in an airbnb. I'm always kind of intrigued by the kinds of decor people choose to put in these places.

I suppose a Chicago skyline mural in the dining room isn't the worst choice, but it kind of gave me vertigo.

This was also in the dining room. There was some discussion about whether the vase thingy was bought for the niche or the niche was designed for the vase thingy.

The shadow boxes on the living room wall were kind of nice.

Okay.

I like large dead butterflies in shadow boxes on my kitchen wall.

This I kind of liked. It's a series of what look to be magazine or newspaper articles framed and running up the wall by the stairs that led up to the bedrooms. None of them had dates on them, but the one featuring Cloud Gate (THE BEAN) said it was a new addition to Millennium Park. So not recent.

And then there was this.

Here's a view out one of the side windows. We were in a single unit of a condominium building near Lake Michigan and close to the edge of Loyola University.

Dinner was a stir fry made of a bunch of things left over from previous dinners. I cut vegetables again. It was yummy.

In the evening, we went to the Annoyance Theater. Here's their Wikipedia page. The show we saw was Roll for Comedy, which was advertised as a comedy show using D&D mechanics. It was fairly D&D lite, but I found it pretty amusing overall. One of our party was chosen to go on stage as the Evil Wizard, who had been afflicted with a silencing curse. The curse was to be cured by making him laugh, and they eventually managed it. I laughed a lot, which is all I could ask.

This morning, we had to be out by 10 am, so we had breakfast and skedaddled. I was asked to scramble eggs, so I did.

And now I am at home on my couch with my ridiculous tiny dog.
