Sunday was a big day for me: it was new member welcome day at my church, at which I was recognized (among others). I also announced that I was staying in Cincinnati, and the amount of cheering and clapping was gratifying. I've been asked to serve on another committee, and this one I accepted without reservation.

It was Pride weekend in Cinci, and I marched in the parade with my church on Sunday. That was really fun. I flirted with people in the "crowds."

Today I resigned from my job, effective next week Friday. I am making sure to say that it's because of the opportunity to move forward with my future goals, that the interview came out of the blue (if the question seems to be hanging there), and that I have been very happy working with whomever I am telling. I told my boss that his mentoring made it possible, which I believe to be 100% true (and that sux for him).

And now I've promised myself a digital camera when I take the GRE, so I'd better get to scheduling and studying more. I've slacked off these past ... weeks. And I want that camera.

L and I went to Chicago for Pride. She was to march with the Lakeside Pride Marching Band as a bass drummer, and asked if I wanted to come with her, oh, around the time I moved down here. I said yes, so off we toddled this past weekend to Chicago.

Many details )
I am very sunburned from practice, and from going to the festival to see the jazz band perform. They are very good, and it was fun.

We went to see my grandparents after the festival. They live about an hour outside of Chicago, and it was a pain having a car, really. But they are 89 and 90, and I wanted to see them. We picked up pizza on the way to their apartment, and had a great visit. We got back to our friend's apartment very late, and got enough sleep that getting up for the parade was do-able.

It rained until the parade started. We were right at the front. After it was over, we got to watch most of it. That was fun. 225 entries, half a million onlookers over the 3-mile route. Then the long drive home.

Together.
