I've been itching for a roadtrip for some time now, and with a trip to Issaquah for my doctor's appointment happening, I decided to treat it as a roadtrip, even if it was just down the street, road-trip wise.

I should do that more.

Based on the news I got today from my musculoskeletal doctor today, "Walk it off" was precisely the wrong thing for all those 80s PE Teachers to tell me when I got hurt.

Where I am now.

I saw the sticker and now I've got the music stuck in my head.

Thoughts Before Bed

I hope I'm doing Henry B proud. He's been on the back of my mind through all this.

I'm going to be in Issaquah for a medical appointment Thursday, and I'm still in the mood to celebrate Tuesday's victory. What's a fun place for dinner out there? XXX Root Beer closed, so I'm up for suggestions.

You don't know how happy this makes me:

Mayor Amy Ockerlander's comments about the passage of the Pride Wall installation in Duvall's win are very VERY powerful:

I'm always worried what I can and can't say about this stuff online now that I'm not just involved, but VERY involved, but I think this is important enough to post about.

At last night's city council meeting, with a 5 to 2 vote, Duvall City Council voted to put up a Pride Display replacing the one removed back in July.

It's been eight months of back and forth, policy creation, comission creation, and the work of many people within the city government and concerned citizens, and a lot of blood sweat and tears.

Politics is glacial. Nothing moves quickly. But it moves. Sometimes slowly, but deliberately. And much like glaciars, it can carve out mountains given time.

I've often said if you don't like something your government does, you have to get involved. And sometimes you have to help make that change.

If you want change, get involved. And if you have the patience and the drive, you can move mountains.

Typo of the day: "The Prude Wall."

::wakes up::

"Ah, I feel great, not often I get a really good refreshing night's sleep. What time is it? IT'S FIVE THIRTY IN THE EVENING AND I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR THIRTEEN HOURS?!"

"Well....I feel great, though."

Current Mood:

We're bringing back the Pride Wall. ❤

So I got the job.

But some caveats: It's very freelance, doesn't start for a while, doesn't pay till way later in the year, and I can't really talk about it. But it's a foot in a very big door, in a job market where all I'm getting are slammed doors. I'll take it.

I'll talk more about it, when I can. :)
