This city is absolutely breathtaking. I imagine today is the type of day "they" talk about when they talk of Seattle. It's not raining, the ground is not even wet, but the clouds are so low that buildings over 7 stories are completely MIA. I work at the foot of the Space Needle, which stands about 520 feet above ground, and you can't see the top of it. If you are checking out my blog today, 10-18-05, go to this website http://www.spaceneedle.com/webcam/. The cam is completely greyed out.
I am not sad or suicidal though like everyone says you become in Seattle. If anything I am relaxed and totally chill. The clouds give me a sense that there will be time to do everything and I needn't rush through life. And to have clouds so close that you can reach up and grab a piece, you can walk down the street and literally be walking on the clouds - absolutely heavenly.
I am so going to enjoy living here. I almost wonder if I will want to leave....For now Dane and I have been talking about moving downtown next year. Selling everything but the Fxylady and Gixxer and moving camp to the seaside Harbor Steps condos. Check it out if you have some time, if for no other reason than because they did a PHENOMINAL job on the website! http://www.harborsteps.com/
As for daily life, things are going well. Enough. This morning I was asked if I would be bringing my daughter to the "Trick-or-Treat Sneak" here at the TSA office. It was first thing this am too, so it hit me like a slap in the face. I haven't really told anyone here (maybe two or three people total - including outside of work) about Isis and the whole story behind it. I have pictures of her and when people ask I simply say "She was 9 months in that picture." Or whatever. One woman proceeded to ask how old she was now, so I said she had passed on. The woman wanted to know more (she's such a sweethart, she's from Indonesia) and I just smiled and said it was a terrible accident. I don't know what to do. I want a picture of her but I don't welcome the questions but it's hard to deal with the "Are you brining her to the ____". *sigh* What an odd, sad situation.
Other than that things are good. I am on hiatus for another 2 weeks from school. Work is going very well, I'm almost caught up. Just in time to leave for Cancun though. Dane is tracking the hurricanes in that area and currently keeping tabs on "Wilma". It should be there and gone by the time we get there. OH! I have to send out an informative email with the info....*jots down note to self* So that's it here in Jet City. I'll probably bust out another entry before we leave. I have to post my fairy mug pic! She's pretty!

I am so glad you are enjoying Seattle:) I believe I would have the same experience there as every time I go there, I just feel good, relaxed and not in so much of a rush. It's hard not to feel connected to the Earth there and I think that also has a lot to do with it for me. What a great experience for you D.
Regarding explanations and painful memories, Isis is always with you and yes, she'll be attending those events in heart and in spirit. But knowing this within you does not change it for others and I realize that, I don't know honey...I think you just have to live for you and honor your love. Sigh, I'm sorry that this will always be there for you when you are in new situations and with new people, you've come a long way from the woman I knew 4 years ago and you will continue to go along way...you'll find it baby, just keep chugging.
When do u leave for Cancun? Bratz.
