It's a typical day in Seattle...raining outside. I finally arrived and trying to get settled in my temporary housing unit in Kirkland, WA. Its a nice place. It's fully furnished, stocked (utensils, pans, plates, everything), and prepared like a hotel room (towels, shampoo, soap). If you walk outside the building, a Starbucks is right in front of you, there's a walgreens around the corner, and quite a number of restaurants (Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese). Its a good spot and I'm happy with it.
I think my laptop has jetlag or something.....taking a long time to boot, and when it does boot, hangs, and my dial-up connections are just too inconsistent. I hope to get a cable modem in the next few days. Anyway, I wanted to take this time to make a posting before I lose my connection. Its my Second day here....yesterday was my travel day. Friday was my going away dinner with family and friends. It's never easy leaving people behind and I feel that sadness creeping up on me as I lay in the sofa.
My place is actually in the Juanita community of Kirkland. I'm very close to Juanita beach...though this body of water is a lake (I think). I went for a walk on Sunday and just tried to not think about anything...just be a zombie and keep walking. Sometimes that helps when you feel disoriented or out of whack.
