I'm going back to Texas tomorrow and I'm thrilled (finally!). But Seattle, purposefully, has given me the most beautiful day I have ever seen. It's so crystal clear you can almost see the people leaving their houses from across the sound, the Olympic mountains are out and looming along with Ranier, the volcano I'm sure will one day consume us all.

Last night was the first night in a while where I made a point to not take a sleeping pill as I tend to automatically with my others.
