Enjoy my life in pictures from the minute I get home from work until I go to bed:
Get greeted by Bailey - she's not sure why I have a crazed look on my face 
Turn on computer and start frantically searching Craigslist for a place to live
Get frustrated that no one emails me back about houses/apartments, but then posts their listing again on Craigslist. Give up on Craigslist and start searching the internet for other rental sites
Between the 4 websites I have open, find a few places that look reasonable. Immediately map them on google maps to see what area they are in.
If it is one of my "approved areas," switch to satellite view and try to get a feel for the neighborhood
Then I send the little man down into "street view" and check out the neighborhood a little further
If all is well, I check the Metra and/or El map to see if public transportation will be an option for one if not both of us
Then, I see how far the new place is from each of the 3 different locations that I could possibly be working at.
Finally, I email the owner/agent and sell us as the perfect tenants. 
Sometimes I eat. Then it starts all over again the next day.
