bright new day

verbicideIt startles me sometimes how a bad series of days can be turned around in a flash. I've been feeling so out of sorts lately. Anxious about my job hunting, frustrated with myself for a variety of things, sad because the boyf's at a particularly critical phase at work and has little time to play. The last few weeks, we've only managed a few hurried minutes a night on the phone and between my travel and his work, we haven't been able to see each other for two weeks now. I miss him.
Went to bed last night feeling glum. Woke up to a wonderful call from him and spent a nice long time catching up and feeling comforted by plans to see him again soon. He'll be coming down to Seattle next, and I can't wait! The beginning of a relationship is always so scary. You try so hard not to read into things, or worry yourself into a lather. Distance doesn't help, but a little reassurance goes a long way. Mornings like this remind me why I'm so crazy about him. It's miserable being so far apart and struggling to see each other a few times a month. I'm not a patient person, so it's agonizing waiting for the day he'll move here. But he's definitely worth it.
Then, instead of going to West Seattle Fair with Judy, had my brother, sister in law and her mother (a recent transplant here) visit. It was so nice to see them again. OB checked my granite table to decide the type of epoxy needed to repair it. Emily checked out my dismal graveyard of plants and pots. Then we set out for Swanson's Nursery--my favorite in Seattle.
It was BEAUTIFUL--everything in full bloom! I felt about 5 years old and had to restrain myself from skipping around. We loaded up tons of plants, and THIS time I swear I'm going to take pictures of them before I kill them!
We made our way to the crowded cashier and my brother announced he's buying me all my stuff as an early birthday present. That was a massive unexpected boon as I'd greedily picked out tons and tons of things. On the way home, he stopped at his favorite Kebab House (Greenwood/82nd NW) and bought me some food, too. Perfectly timed as I still haven't made it to the grocery store (tomorrow, I swear...). He bought me some spicy Nihari and chicken boti kebab and naan. I am very fucking excited.
We drove it all back to my place, they helped me lug it all upstairs and then left me surrounded by heaps of plants and food, pinching myself because I can't believe random days like this, where good luck pours like the rain outside.
I love Seattle. We went from uncomfortably warm to pouring rain in the space of an hour. Hilarious. It's clearing up again and I'm going to do some gardening. My little balcony is going to be the happiest damn place EVER! Now I just need to buy some cheap plant stands so they don't just line the floor. My sister in law calls it 'pot-scaping' which I think is very cute.
And this time? I think I might not even kill all of these plants! We got some nice hardy ones!
