Life... with a job!

Once you better know yourself, you can grow by easing into your discomfort zone. 

The Minimalists

Thursday, February 20 - As luck would have it, a good friend from home was in Seattle this week.  We were able to meet up Thursday evening.  Based off of a recommendation, we went to a restaurant called Local 360.  As the name suggests, everything is locally sourced from within a 360 mile radius.  There was some delicious macaroni and cheese to be had, as well as some OUTSTANDING salted caramel apple ice cream.  

Friday, February 21 - After WhitePages' Happy Hour, I met up with a new friend to see the Head and the Heart concert.  Seattle is a huge music city.  A few bands to come from Seattle are Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Sonics, Macklemore, and Jimi Hendrix. The Head and the Heart is also a Washington native.  As such, they kept the opening acts local as well; La Luz and Rose Windows (pictured below) opened. 

The concert was awesome.  Amazing voices and great melodies.  Two of my favorites from The Head and the Heart are Homecoming Heroes and Summertime.  

Saturday, February 22 - Today has been spent willing my body back to good health.  I've been battling a cold this week so I'm trying to rest up when I can.  My (late) morning began with fresh juice and Skyping with a few of my favorite people.  Other than that, my roommate and I have been enjoying a House of Cards marathon. :)

Sunday, February 23 - Much the same as yesterday; I'm trying to kick this cold with laundry, relaxing, cleaning, and a lot of healthy home cooking.  It does feel great to be productive!

...fast forward to...

Wednesday, February 26 - Busy week!  Not much to report except that I'm working a lot and enjoying the job.  There is no lack of work and, as per usual, I'm usually found running around the office trying to get something done.  Tonight, I volunteered to stay for a Meet-Up that the office is hosting.  I brought a book with me and am currently lounging in a massive bean bag chair with a beer to my left (see below, I told you it was big).  No complaints here. :)
