I guess the next few months will be the test as to whether I really like living in the Seattle area. Yesterday it only rained a little, but right now we're in the middle of a ten or eleven day stretch where some amount of rain is predicted. Pair that up with the time change this past weekend, and the fact that the days are getting shorter and shorter, and that's a recipe for depression for some. So far that hasn't been the case for me, but it's been interesting to monitor my moods.
The temperatures have also dropped, so we're constantly walking around with jackets on.
Overall, though, I do enjoy this place I call home. It's hard being away from family, and hard to still feel like a stranger trying to find places while driving. But whenever I am driving on I-5 north and see the cityline come into view, I think to myself, "I live in a great place." So much character, progressive and creative thinking, and yes, the coffee. I'm pretty sure I'm wrecked for life having had the best coffee in the world.
Oh, one other side note - I've never had to this before, but now I find myself with leaves that need to be raked up. It was actually fun . . . the first time. Then I got out the power blower. It's noisier and not as good a workout, but you can't argue against using man toys, right?
So here's my soundtrack lately:
Harvey Danger,
Little By LittleFoo Fighters,
In Your HonorSwitchfoot,
Nothing is SoundHappy trails, dear friends.

It's a good thing we cut down that tree between our houses or you would have had a lot more leaves to deal with :). The rain does suck, but you will soon find that Goretex is your friend this time of year... along with a constant cup of warm coffee! Be careful not to tell everyone how awesome the weather is in Seattle the other 6 months of the year... that's the big secret.
