So I’m here in Seattle. Kinda falling back into the freelance life. I’ve got tons of time on my hands and probably not using it all to it’s full potential. I’m trying to relax, but from time to time get a bit anxious about what I am or am not doing. And I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and reflecting on where I’ve been in the past year and what I might do or where I might go next. It’s been quite nice here, with only a few gray days of rain (and a little hail) and the rest of the time it’s been just beautiful seeing the trees and feeling the seasons change.
I’ve gotten out for some great walks around the area. Around Greenlake a couple times, up and down Phinney, down 45th. Almost always I’m walking to do some errands like groceries at PCC, checking mail, renewing my driver’s license, crap like that. I’d guess I’ve been walking about four miles a day. I’m enjoying not having a car, for the moment, but know I’ll start wondering how I’m gonna get around when things I wanna see aren’t within walking distance, or how I’ll move my stuff out of storage when I decide to move out of Robert’s living room and into somewhere else.
Other than that, I’m doing a little work, but not really. Bigger stuff is percolating and there’s a lot of possibilities fluttering about, but nothing solid has landed. It’s not disconcerting yet … but it won’t be long!
My reunions with Seattle friends aren’t quite finished either. There’s still a few people I haven’t seen yet, but don’t doubt we’ll be meeting up really soon!
Europe is on my mind a lot, though, and there are times I’m sure I’ll be going back very soon. But then other times where I’m looking forward to working here in SEA and saving some more money and truly following my long-term dream of buying some land and really changing things up drastically. Either way it’ll take some thinking and planning, and I’ve got time for that!
Ah, and if you haven’t noticed, I’ve finally updated and rebuilt my portfolio to mesh with my current web design/style/whatever and made it available again.
