Today I submitted a pre-application for an apartment in Lower Queen Anne, Seattle, WA. Then I went out and bought 80lbs of cat litter. These things feel juxtaposed. But the beauty of the apartment is they accept cats. If all goes well, I’ll open that second bag of litter in a different state.

I didn’t know I’d move this fast.  Building up to a simmer takes a while.  From there things can reach boiling point in an instant.  I’ve been ready for over a year, held back by circumstances.  All the invisible fetters are slack and I can break loose whenever I choose.  Fear is the only thing holding me back.  Pride keeps driving me forward.  I will do just fine, most likely.

If I die trying then at least I tried.
