vlionSeattle warms, unseasonably early. But it's nice for talking walks about, and smelling the flowers.
We walked by a small house for the sum of $425,000. It is *so* expensive to purchase a house here. I terribly wish I had gotten here or SF in 2006 and stocked up money. That was the year I got my Bachelor's. I was lost, tired, and generally bowed down from the stress of the BS degree. I faffed about for a time, then went back to get a graduate degree. I should have mustered up and couchsurfed with my laptop to a tech hub to snag a full-time job.
Sigh, regrets. Some consequences that arrive 5-7 years late are incredibly hard to forsee without a mentor.
But. I'm in a lovely city, in a snug apartment, my cats are zonked out on the couch, and I'm settling in for an hour of code. Life is good.
