Here comes the rain again...


I feel very Seattle-ish today. I'm sitting in front of a computer doing work, drinking my third cup of coffee (and it's only 10:40am!) and looking out my office window at the green trees and the sprinkling rain in overcast skies.

It's good that it's raining. It hasn't rained here in a long time and we're in a pretty bad drought with some water restrictions. I mean, no where near as bad as the drought they have going on in Australia, but still. Not to mention that it's just refreshing...

Days like this tend to make me very reflective and very pensive. I'm never sure if that's a good thing or not. I have been known to overthink things a bit too much...but I have yet to be convinced how bad that really is.

Something curious is that overthinking tends to make me think about Maggie and Seattle also. Both of us sitting at Kerry Park on Queen Anne looking down at the night skyline talking about overthinking amongst a myriad of other things. I really didn't expect anything to come of it, especially nothing that has gone this far.

I suppose I'm just pleasantly surprised.

Here comes the rain again
falling on my head like a memory
falling on my head like a new emotion...

Good times :)

Also, I WANT coffee. The red cross never told me to avoid caffeine after giving blood, but the Inland Northwest Blood Drive seems to hate coffee, I can't have any till like later tonight, or tomorrow morning or something... AHHHHH...
