I love it here – from a non tech person

Hi all. Just something simple and silly to share.
Im a non tech worker. I lost almost all my savings after I was unemployed for 2 years, but I frugal’d more than I’ve ever frugal’d. .

I was able to go back to school thanks to the state of Washington Workforce funding. I now have a new career path, but even with that still at the bottom working my way up. At least Im happy in my new path.

Moving on. It’s my 54th birthday this week and I’ve lived here since 1999.

My point, i guess, is I love it here. Today I took myself out as a birthday splurge to things I love.

Vons for cocktails and pizza, and then market where I spent an obscene amount on chocolate cookies at 3 girls bakery, the park near the market where I saw the blue angels and I over heard a woman say “you have a beautiful city”

I replied I know you weren’t talking to me, but, yeah, we do.

And my last stop was at Cloudburst where I had a lovely dark beer before catching an E line home, where I opened a Washington wine, that I bought from a local winery in SoDo.

I don’t have a lot of money, I don’t go out often or at all really. But damn, Im so glad I live here.

Thanks Seattle for being my home exactly when I need it to be.
