Spent last weekend in Oaktown catching up with friends and wandering around my old neighborhood. Palm trees and sun and blue sky, oh my. A far cry from fall leaves and rain and cloudy sky, for sure.I stayed in my old apartment building (at my out-of-town friends' place, not squatting in the hallway as some suspected). It was a bit disorienting for most of the weekend... especially when I wandered into the antique store on a nearby street and saw a Washington Redskins "collectible" plastic hat - I really had to stop for a moment to figure out where I was.
It was great to visit, but coming back to Portland definitely felt like I was coming home.
That made me happy.
Other things for the "things that made me happy" file:
- my last-minute flaky catsitter came through while I was gone
- applying for a job - any job - with the Obama-Biden administration
- plotting a Costa Rica getaway with my travel buddy (can March come any faster?!)
- my first yoga class last night (I know, I know...)
- the calm that started last Tuesday night hasn't worn off yet
