Weather, weather everywhere!
Yesterday was beautiful...63 degrees, sunny, a few clouds in the sky. We drove into the city, saw the Space Needle (didn't go in. did you know they charge $16 for admission???), and watched a movie at Brian Douglass' theatre, the Pacific Place 11. His theatre is gorgeous! It's decorated like a cabin in the mountains, with dark, rich colors and wood paneling everywhere! We even got a rare, clear view of a snow-covered Mt. Ranier.
But as beautiful as the weather was, I couldn't pull myself out of this mood I'm in. Most people would be inspired by the trees and the fresh air, but I get hit with waves of homesickness. It's so intimidating when I think about how I have to learn my way around a strange city all over again. Even though I was never really a big fan of Baltimore, I miss the familiarity of it all...the guy from the bagel place knowing my order, the layout of the Towson Barnes and Noble, knowing the quickest route from my house to work, seeing familiar faces every time I go to the movies. I know that I'll eventually get that here, but it seems like every time we move, it takes more and more time to get acclimated.
Everyone keeps telling me how much they love Seattle (even more than San Diego!) so it can't be all that bad. I just hope I can pull myself out of this funk soon.
