TO DO-one last time

For the past few weeks I have been carrying around a small lined notebook so when I have that random thought on the train or out with friends I can write it down.  Really it is just a to do list of everything I need to do before I leave Chicago.  (Oh dates are set Aug 20/21 are my final days in Chicago).  But then the other day I was thinking I need to make a "one last time" list.  This list would be of all the things I need to do before I go, all the events I was to do, museums, tours, places, restaurants, etc.    I am finding that this is not a very long list.  Guess I kept myself pretty busy doing fun stuff all the years I have lived here.  So what should be on my list??  What would be on your list??  What must I do one last time in the windy city??

How does one downsize??

For the past few days I have been in my room just staring at everything.  Trying to figure out where to start, not wanting to start, feeling that overwhelming feeling.  How does one downsize their life??  After talking with my dad my thoughts of how much I could move back home was crushed into a small van full.  So what stays, what goes!!  Where does one start??
