We're safe and sound in Pittsburgh after a long day in the air and a scary trip down an unfamiliar freeway in whiteout conditions.
I'm happy to be here, even if I have come down with The Sickness. In my doped-up NyQuil stupor, I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the things I am THANKFUL for:
Health: What is life without health and happiness? I've been in increasingly good shape over the last six years... but I just caught a chest cold, the first I've had in a loooong while, so I can really appreciate the amount of time I spend feeling better than I do right now.
Wealth: It's wonderful to (at least temporarily) be a two-income family and focus on important things rather than stressing about finding work.
Coziness: Finally, out of the Ghetto Apartment and in the same zip-code, J and I can start nesting in our awesome apartment. We've got new furniture, new art, and a nice new place with giant, bright windows in which to arrange it all.
Buddies: Though I miss my Llamas in Eugene, my bestest friends are still close in my heart. With new neighbors and new co-workers to hang out with, my Seattle social network is happily growing.
Blood: I'm getting used to living in proximity to my parents-- and they, thankfully, are finally seeking some emotional well-being for themselves. Between that and being embraced by the dynasty that is Justin's family, I actually feel like I have a familial support network.
Felines: Nothing is more relaxing than the soft purr of my sweet kitty cat, Rupert.
Of course there's much more...but that's all my enfeebled mind can create at the moment so I'll stick with simplicity. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Hope you eat yourselves into a stupor. :-)
