We travelled to the four new north end light rails stations today, on Day 1.  Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline South, Shoreline North, Lynnwood.  Fun way to ring in a long weekend.

Bugs are eating me alive!  And they are swelling up super big... it seems like spider bites, but I have no idea where they are coming from.

I'm trying to finish this book this week, for the summer bingo card.  Can I do it?!?

08-26-24

 Uh-oh.

I have squiggles or floaters in my eye.

Normal aging, but had to go in to the eye doctor to rule out an issue with the retina or worse.

Nice to hang out with family.

Seattle, where art thou?  We are socked in!  Not liking this drastic change in weather...

I head to work at the same time as the downtown association MID ambassadors.  I share the sidewalk with a lot of neon yellow clad heros with garbage cans and cleaner.

Our stairwells at work have tall murals painted.  My favorite is this planter at the very bottom planting a little seedling.  Seeing this way too often lately though, it another Monday in the office.

Raised donuts, new favorite. Even the blackberry serrano is pretty darn good.

Haven't seen the kiddos in awhile, caught up with them this evening.  Found out that we are expecting a Poppy in February.

Brought my earbuds to work today so I could listen to an audiobook on the walk home.  New habits due to only being able to get Trumpeter of the Swan from the library on audio.

I voted.  

Fun to see Andrea Suarez, our We Heart Seattle activist, on the ballot.

And we are officially in black out.  We ramped things down and shut down the system, and now it is locked down for cut over activities, planning to come back up mid day Sunday.

Jamie was up all night, I am coming in fresh to help where I can.
