Just posting to say welcome, and I hope your first commute went well! I'd recommend also one of the road biking classes out there - I know Chicagoland Bicycle Federation is a good one and I bet they have great offerings. I say this because some of the techniques that are the safest for riding in the roads aren't immediately obvious. Everyone I know who's taken one of these courses has really gotten a lot out of it.

Sadly, I didn't make it out this morning....
I somehow overslept - something I never do!
Maybe it was for the best though - Gave me an opportunity to drive the route I had planned and realize that there are some spots I'd probably be better off going around.
Tomorrow it is.... (please let it stop raining)

not fun to start your commuting on a rainy day!
take it slow, practice when you're not in a hurry.
remember, some alternate routes might be a bit longer, but they might also be safer and more relaxing, therefore worth it.
