Safely in Seattle. It was a longer day than I’d planned (a flight got bumped earlier due to weather that didn’t happen in Chicago), but it was successful all around. I finished reading Neverwhere, landed a few minutes early, and jumped on a Metro bus up to SoDo, where I saw a vaguely familiar landmark and decided I’d walk into town. I wandered my way to the Hurricane Cafe for a bowl of chili, and finally took the 26 back to Cydonia, which will serve as my base of operations in the meanwhile.

The flight to Seattle featured the most beautiful sunset over the mountains I have ever seen, which came right after I started feeling incredibly restless and worrying about everything and nothing. It was calming. Oh, and apparently it’s my birthday tomorrow. You should do something about that.
