Weather forecasting in Seattle

“A touch of afternoon rain”

“Periods of rain”

“Rain possible”

“A shower possible”

“chance of rain”

“A little rain”

“Occasional rain”

“Sunny” Hallelujah

“Spotty showers”

I like how my AccuWeather app tries to vary the descriptions a bit.

One of the many things that makes me excited about moving to Seattle is housing.  

I lived in the Midwest before I moved to DC, and I was used to paying $300 or less per month in rent for a room in a house. Then I moved to DC and quickly got wise to the fact that you do not get much for your money. My first room in a house was more than three times what I paid in Pittsburgh and my current, semi-small room is more than twice as much.  I talk about this  to put Seattle housing in perspective.  When I look at two bedrooms or townhouses in Seattle that cost $2,000, my heart sings “Oh my god, so cheap!”  Granted, it’s not “cheap.” But in DC, $2000 may only get you a one-bedroom. Here’s what I could get with $2000 in a nice area of Seattle. I am using this as an example because it just looks amazing.  The keywords:

contemporary 3 stories 2 bed/1.75 bath townhouse. Convenient bus lines. Ample amount of natural light with a skylight (automatically close with raindrops), unique high ceiling and beam design. Bamboo hardwood floor throughout. Granite counter tops kitchen with stainless appliances. Tile-floor bathrooms - bath tub and shower with glass doors. Master bath with tile heated floor. Small patio in the backyard.

Are you kidding me???!! Can I move in tomorrow? 

This week, I feel ready to move on to a new future. Hope it comes soon.

New love: AF-assist beam on my flash. 

I find flaky people offensive. The world does not turn around you.

Wondering if being happy just comes down to a choice to overthink/disregard certain things.

work pet peeve…

The over usage of “the extent to which.” For example, someone asked me about the extent to which x was used. I honestly don’t know what that means.
