Weather: External & Internal

[mlerules]

The last couple of days it's promised to be a lovely day, starting out all sunny and bright, then fading mid-day (at/near Noon) to gray, drizzling first then definitively raining. Today it's decided not to promise anything and just start out gray and wet. Perhaps at lunchtime it'll clear up and get blue and sunny. I've been reading like a fiend, plowing through hundreds of pages each day, getting caught up and lost in fiction: Interesting Times and Going Postal (T Pratchett Discworld novels), Southhampton Row (Anne Perry Victorian mystery/thriller), Call of the Halidon (R Ludlum political thriller set mostly in Jamaica).

I'd thought (hoped?) I'd spend a chunk of time up here thinking 'bout stuff & things, mebbe even figuring out whatEVER, but if'n that's happening, it's undercover, all subconcious-like, not proactive. Not that it's particularly bothering me, I'm just saying. Mebbe it's not time for thought but for action. And I could DO more stuff here, but I'm NOT doing so much. Mebbe I could/should not beat myself up for this, mebbe I can just BE for a bit w/out wondering what if and why not and what about and...

Property prices: Hmmm.. it depends on where you want to be. We paid a bit under $180,000 for this place (3 bed/2 bath 2.6acres)... Which was about average a year ago. I'm not sure what the prices are doing right now.. what I did when I was looking was go on the website: realtor.com and plug in city & state names & look at pricing. If you're looking up in this area, let me know what sort of area you'd prefer (more in town vs. rural) and I can point you in the direction of the good areas.... Of course, I'm really partial to the Yelm/Rainier area... *grins*.. We're about 30 minutes out of Olympia (job market)... 2 hours from Portland; 2 hours from Seattle; an hour from Tacoma... 2 hours from the beach; 2 hours from Mt. Rainier... pretty darn convenient...
