There was still some work involved, both remotely from home and at the office, but nothing compared to last week's frenzy.
Amidst that, The Fella and I enjoyed a leisurely day at the Museum of Contemporary Art downtown. Like with most museums, I mostly enjoy the space and surroundings – sometimes more than the art itself. I know that's sacrilegious to say, but oh well.

There was a little woodworkin', too! The MCA has a little studio space dedicated to a different interactive activity each month, and this one allows viewers to design and build anything out of reclaimed wood from the South Side of Chicago.

We were attempting to make a wood dog (not a horse) like the one pictured below, but then the one power drill available ran out of charge. Sorry, FurFur.
Followed by a cold, refreshing mango gelato!
Much to my annoyance, my Executive Board meeting for the condo association was canceled last minute and rescheduled for Tuesday 8pm – argh, don't they know what it's like to work at a busy marketing agency?! – but at least it opened up the day to get together with A & baby, chat, and flip through the newest Real Simple on the deck.
And a return to the kitchen to reclaim my relatively long-lost zeal for cooking! It's been a busy few months with friends coming and going out of our home and Chicago, that I've barely eaten in or cooked a proper meal until this weekend... so in between sunny eggs over toast with melted cheddar and salsa, cucumber-tomato salad, roasted baby carrots with honey, and chickpea pesto salad, there was also...

Good night!
