]]> It’s a lovely fall day in Seattle: 67° (warmer than it’s been in months) and sunny as all get out. I’m doing laundry, drinking coffee, doing some errands. I just wanted to save a nice afternoon so I can look back on it later.

Gorgeous leaves & sky

Kathy's photo in our birdcage - missing her

One of my favorite poetry collections -- saw the Ginsberg movie a few nights ago and we rushed home to bury our noses in poems

Now I’m off to the grocery store, then to pick up Sky to look at some apartments in Beacon Hill and Leschi – we need some SPACE!

]]> I love Fall. Autumn. Whatever you call it. I always called it “autumn” when I was younger, because no one else used that word and I wanted to sound different. I also called my aunt “ohnt” which drove her bonkers. Now when I hear people use the word “autumn” I think it sounds kind of snooty; except when people use the word “autumnal” – I like that.

Our new little place is very cozy. Have I mentioned that yet? Cozy, cozy cozy! I get home in the evening and the radiators are popping and the cats are purring and I make some tea on our awesome-fast-gas range. I settle in with a book or maybe take a bath. The world is my oyster. Sky loves it in the mornings because he has something to watch (traffic, clouds, birds) while he drinks his morning coffee and it’s not cold and dark at all in the morning. The lights are cheery and the floor is warm.

I’ve been in touch with my sister a lot more than usual after our little sister vacation. That makes me happy. It always takes me a bit of time to get reacclimated to people I haven’t seen for awhile, including, sadly my family sometimes. So it’s been nice to keep in contact – easier to talk about small things and have a rapport. I’ve also been talking to Jaime more – or she’s been good at hassling me so that happens. I still fall too easily into being hermity, sometimes. I’m lucky to have a bestie who doesn’t let that happen too often.

We’re going to Chicago for Thanksgiving and I can’t wait! The last time I visited I was about 12 years old, so I don’t remember much of anything. This weekend my mom recalled how when she was little, they would drive up to Michigan for Thanksgiving, and on their way home they would always be sure to hit Chicago in the late evening. That way they could drive along State Street with little to no traffic and check out all of the pretty sparkly Christmas lights and store displays. I promised my mom I’d take a walk there and give her a report. I hope it snows (but only in the middle of the week so it doesn’t affect our flights).

Sky’s taking his first licensing exam today – it’s 4 hours long! Wish him good thoughts and a clear mind, okay?
