I did my daily Duoling practice early today since Danae and I hope to playing cool board games late into the night with awesome people!

I drove out to Carpentersville yesterday and spend the day thrifting with Erik. Good times! I picked up a manual 100mm f2.8 prime lens for $5 in wonderful shape for my Pentax. I waffled on a $20 300mm prime and decided against it. Then rewaffled this morning and asked Erik to pick it up for me if it's still there.
In the evening, I picked Lisa up at work in Deerfield and had surprisingly tasty and affordable food at a place called Meatheads. At her place, I helped put together my old bed, which I'd given to her a week ago. She's been sleeping on an air mattress for a long time, and I'm hoping my IKEA bed and mattress will be more comfortable. As an unconsidered bonus, it freed up a lot of space in her studio apartment and provides underbed storage too. Yay!
We spent some time sitting on the bed, once we were done, chatting and talking. I was feeling emotional about this being one of the last times I'll see her before moving. She's been a part of my life in one capacity or another for quite a long time, and I'll very much miss being around her regularly. But her mother is coming to visit her next week, and the three of us are going to have dinner together on Friday. And the winter breaks at Syracuse are long, so I'll have time to see her again over the break too.
I worry about her horrible commute and the myriad of problems that connect to it and her job situation. In the same way I feel about Evil Bob (mentioned previously), it's just so frustrating to me to see someone I care about dealing with a situation that's so negative. She deserves better than this.
