Saturday was quite a day in a lot of ways. It was my birthday, I got to go to TAF (Part One and Part Two) and went to the Ramuen Museum (Unlocking a craving for ramen that I wasn't apparent until I got back and found that Chicago doesn't have as many decent places as you would think for ramen. Absence makes the heart grow fonder I suppose!) At this point, I was enjoying / paying the price for my solo adventuring.Without another person, you can change your plans on a whim. (But it also becomes easy to set no plans at all, which can be bad.) Without another person, you can go at any pace that you'd like. (But it also became easy to go at a rapid pace without anyone to encourage you to take a break. I had to start forcing myself to take breaks at this point.) The only other note about this day was that I had a really tasty breakfast sandwich that morning from the local conbini (convenience store). I took a bite into eat before I even realized I hadn't snapped the picture yet.
