all i want:
to listen to these songs on repeat until everything is settled.

reminder

“i will hold on to the feeling”

i’ve had a rough week and a half at work and it takes a considerable amount of effort to not feel like i’m stuck in a dark dungeon. my awesome coworkers and friends have opened their ears for venting sessions and luckily i’ve been able to let things go most evenings. i also have good things going right now that are keeping me quite happy!

focus on the positive:

jonquil
learning more about urban farming in seattle
rad walks
watching rad documentaries at meaningful movies
getting connected to the seattle tilth
volunteering at children’s
checking the warehouse’s show at the theater
massive amounts of sleep
hosting “make something awesome v1“
carving a pumpkin
making a tasty apple pie
collecting leaves
fresh made cider from seattle neighborhood apples
i’m drinking a lot of water these days
my radiators
cotton jones and bill callahan on the record player
spending time with the gasts
kvothe

fall(ing)

i’m ready! i love it! i love you!

come with me.

a little early morning work patio-style. nothing like a warm breeze and an ocean view to keep me happy while pounding away on the laptop.

plus, rad tunes mixed with the sound of waves: perfect way to get me ready for a rad hike!
