A Seattle Soaker

Thanks to Frances Nguyen

The move to Seattle had been a wet one. I stood in the kitchen of my one bedroom walk up apartment in a cable knit sweater and leggings and listened to the rain pelt the large bay window to my left. I was surrounded by boxes in every room and knew I would eventually have to begin the tedious process of unpacking. For a little motivation, I contacted Direct TV seattle and scheduled my installation in two days. It had been months since I had the time to sit down and enjoy a great movie, and my chance was about to happen. I promised myself I would have the living room unpacked and decorated so I could enjoy my new place to the fullest when I collapsed into the sofa for movie night. I worked day and night since the weather was less than ideal for the rest of the week. Once I got started, I couldn’t wait to turn the cold space into a warm retreat. After the installation, I settled into my pajamas and wool socks and couldn’t help but think I should be watching Sleepless in Seattle.
