Moved!

[azurelunatic]

It's been a long strange trip, but I'm safely(?) in Seattle. (Westlake, for those who care about neighborhood. Same building as my sister, shared kitchen, bath, laundry, common room. It is officially Bohemia, due to the recording studio in the same building. A state of the art, digital, virtual interactive studio. Probably. I hear rapping out of it of an evening, which is a comforting sound.)

The vagaries of Seattle parking are making me feel very insecure (thus the parenthetical note on the safety), but I have my room, I have my temporary license (helpfully stapled to my punched-out California license, and carefully folded to not crease the scannable bit), and the majority of the stuff from my car is in the room and starting to be unpacked or put away.

I have reunited with my partner, and they and Tay helped unload the car swiftly.

I woke up this morning to find that my sister had left a birthday gift -- a lovely blue glass charm against the evil eye, a rose quartz bracelet, a finger reflexology ring, a cookie, and a small bag of what I first thought might be square green buttons in a kind of mossy quartz color, but upon examination turned out to most likely be chewing gum, possibly from the shop up the street.

After I finish breakfast, it'll be time to shower, dress, and head over to see the metamour. We're to be wandering about the mall getting pedicures and such, followed by a Wonder Woman date with our partner.

Right now the charm against the Evil Eye is on my phone, but upon reflection, perhaps it needs to go on Vash.

(Vash is the car, named for Vash the Stampede. His original Arizona license plate had the letters VSH, so it was inevitable.)

Yay moved! Yay safe(ish)! Yay Bohemia! Yay being with your people!

[azurelunatic]

I now have a library card at the library that I intend for my home base while I am living in this state, and all is right with the world.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yay library card!

[jesse_the_k]

Home library card is the best!

I'm so happy for you all.

[azurelunatic]

Smooches from hot librarians is not a service that this library extends to all patrons. That's reserved for people such as the hot librarian's partner...

[ghoti]

belated or early felicitations, as the calendar dictates. <3

[azurelunatic]

Exactly on time!

[ghoti]

many happy returns!

Yay safe move! City parking, well...there's a reason I still don't own a car. (Three car-sharing services means I have pretty good coverage for those rare occasions when I need one, and for commuting I take the bus; the only real gap is for weekend-scale road trips and the like since there isn't a conveniently-located rental agency office.)

Westlake is pretty convenient to a lot of good stuff; I considered Westlake or Belltown as options before finding my place in Ballard. (Commuting to Fremont, so basically either side of it.)

I am strongly considering whether I'll need to find somewhere that offers monthly parking, if it continues to be this level of stress involved.

Happy birthday, and hooray for being successfully moved!

I love that your car is Vash. ^_^

[azurelunatic]

Thank you! It's good to be here, even if parking keeps giving me anxiety attacks when I think about it too much.

Vash is a very nice little car. I've thought about getting him some sort of red and gold accessories, but that doesn't quite seem right.

Congratulations!!!

[azurelunatic]

Thank you!

[pauamma]

Yay safe moving!

[azurelunatic]

Thank you! Minor bumps and bruises, but the only truly alarming one is not ultimately serious.

[lone_lilly]

Happy birthday! I'm glad you got to Seattle safely!

[azurelunatic]

Thank you! It's been lovely here so far.

[ephemera]

Hurray for safe initial landings!

[azurelunatic]

Yes! Thank you so much.

[vlion]

ahhhh you made it! welcome to the City of Seattle!

[azurelunatic]

Thank you! Even as I type, I am observing a certain librarian go at full steam across the library in search of something, perhaps still wearing traces of my lipstick...

[vlion]

Ha! Sounds fun. :)

Let me know (you have my Google Chat info) if you want to grab lunch sometime: I work in the Pioneer Square/Financial District area and love getting out of the office at lunchtimes.

[azurelunatic]

Cool! I may well do that. I have to find places during the day to be that's not at home; the room itself is nice and there's no home-related reason that I can't be there, but the parking situation is such that I need to be un-parked by 9 and would have to keep moving the car until 4.

[vlion]

Is the bus situation not feasible for you at present? I am a bit of a transit nerd and could help out there. :helpfulsealface:

[azurelunatic]

Taking a bus will not help with the situation where I cannot leave my car parked in front of my apartment without it getting ticketed or towed during the day.
