Good morning

Today's awesome walk, 12.63 miles in 3:42

I wanted to do something completely different, so I decided to walk to
Alki. It was pretty awesome, except for all the crosswalks down in the
industrial area. And I should have planned better. Once I was down there, I
realized getting a bus back was going to be a problem, so I kept going, up
through Schmitz Park and over to the Junction, where I caught the Rapid
Ride back downtown. That was a nice ride! I included the elevation because
that was quite a climb.

It really wasn't that long ago that I got to UW Medical Center one morning, and that was the longest walk I'd taken in years. It was an exciting time because before that, I'd wondered if walking down to Montlake each morning to catch a bus was feasible, and here I was going beyond.

My place to UW Medical Center is only about three miles, and now I'm at the point where I wish I had the time to do 13 a day. 

It's just interesting how quickly things change when you're doing something you like.

Finally managed to get the desk I've been wanting for, oh, eight months now? 



It's actually kinda ridiculous, I started typing the I-K-E for Ikea's web site and it instantly filled in the URL to this very desk. Yup, been looking at that page for months. I would have just gone down there and gotten one, but there are some long pieces, so it wouldn't have fit in the car. Garrett's dad has a truck, but we would have had to go up to Everett, down to Renton, home, back up to Everett, and back down. And I realized years ago that my time is worth something to me, so I decided to hatch a plan. I sent out a message to a lot of people asking if anyone would ever be interested in making some money picking one up for me, found someone who was, and then kept an eye on craigslist. Eventually, I was able to paypal him $140 for a $90, which left $50 for him, minus whatever fees there were. It worked out nicely since he works in Interbay and it was near Discovery Park. 

The desks are $119+tax new, so I paid close to the same, but I didn't have to go anywhere, and it's already put together. Score! There was another gal who had some even cheaper, but of course they got snatched up out from under me. 

Now I have to clear some space for it. One nice thing is that a lot of what's in the way can go on the shelves. Another nice thing is that they make cool inserts for the shelves, like boxes with mirrored doors or sets of two drawers. I'm trying to decide if I should fill in all four up above to stop Steve from hanging around in them. It might be nice to set aside one for him. I dunno. I may also need to move my lamp that's next to the bed, but of course that would require an extension cord, since it's that setup where there are no installed lights in the ceiling, but the switch controls one of the outlets. It's good to have the main light source hooked to that.

Reservations are coming together for our trip to DC and Philly at the end of February. For those who don't know, Garrett has always traveled in the spring, and he goes domestic one year and international the next. This year was Iceland, and last year was our trip through New Mexico. I think it's a great pattern and I'm very happy to join him. I'm also very grateful that he loves planning travel and he's also very, very good at it. If being a travel agent was still a thing, he'd be totally successful.

Some spammers have been leaving silly comments about having a crush on me on random, old entries. I've actually really been enjoying it. It only takes a second to go delete the comment and block them, and I get to see a random, old entry. In fact, I think LJ should have a "view random entry" feature the way Wikipedia does. Random among your own and random among your friends. That'd be fun.

I need to spend about $545 of FSA money before the end of the year, so I think I'ma get an eye exam and some pricey glasses. Perhaps I should make a day of Ikea (to pick up some inserts for the desk) and then that.

Oh yeah, I got my hair cut on Thursday. I'd post a picture right now, but I'm not alone in the office and it's weird to set up Myspace angles when someone's in the background. I'll be glad when the blonde is all gone. With just a little bit on top, it really emphasizes how I struggle to style it.

I liked this band when I saw them at the disastrous party with Sharon Needles a while back. Interesting to see Raja in the video.



I bought their LP after the party. It's cute.

Didn't feel like getting a picture. It was salmon crusted with panko and horseradish, and Ina Garten's corn salad. Only she boils the corn, and I grilled it. White toast on the side. Pretty good!

Fog!

Yay fog

I thought it would be fun to walk down through Fremont for a change. Turns
out, it's stupid. I think at least 20 minutes was wasted today standing
around at stupid stoplights. And UW medical center is a much better place
to stop than Denny. Oh well.
