OK...so here I am, in Seattle.
I've found a new apartment. 2 bedrooms, fireplace, huge deck, view of the water...it's great. Nice neighborhood in West Seattle, near public transportation, restaurants, and shops. Oh, and it's about half the cost of the apartment I'm living in now, did I mention that?
I gave notice to my boss two days ago. He didn't sound overly upset...he sounded like he knew it was coming. As well he probably should have. I guess I was pretty much exuding the vibe, you know?
Today, while Chelsea is working, I'm going to take a walk in the rain a bit, head over to Qwest Field, buy myself a Seahawks sweatshirt or something, head over to the ID (International District) and get some lunch, then maybe head back over to Pike Market, and pick up a few gifty things for folks back in New York.
I'm nervous, and excited. New place to live, new people to meet, new job. Speaking of, if anyone knows anyone in Seattle who's hiring, let me know.
So I head back to New York on Sunday, and I'll let my landlord know I'm not renewing my lease, start packing up, start selling a ton of stuff. Books, MK II Machine, Heat Press, Furniture, Hardware...the more I sell, the less I have to move.
As I'll have an address as of November 1, I'll start forwarding magazines, bills and such.
Looks like I'll head out there just before Thanksgiving. And maybe I'll head to Florida for a few days to visit mom and the grandparents.
It's a bit chilly out today, with a drizzle. I've been told to expect it.
And where does one buy a gas grill? I've never bought one...Home Depot?
Lots to do. Clock is ticking.

Posted by: Smitty5k at October 13, 2005 12:42 PMWow. You're REALLY heading over here to the West Coast. Good for you for making your own magic.
I acquired a gas (propane) grill in July. Being who I am and all, ya know I used my OCD superpower for good and researched them to death.
In the end, getting the one I could live with AND afford (~$500), I ended up at Sears. They constantly have sales.
I heart my grill.
AND, it being you'll be in your new pad as of November, you'll be there for Black Friday, my favorite day of the year! :)
Sending positive thoughts your way, dear G.

im glad your happy.
we will celebrate.
Wow! Amazing move, brutha! You and she living together or you just head on out west? Seattle always sounded so nice. Gotta be better than fucking Wilmington. Well, good luck to you.
Whatever grill you buy, upgrade to the 40lb tank, cause running out in the middle of a bbq sucks ass.
peaceout
