So one of the lovely things about Seattle people is that rather than run inside from the rain, many people run into the rain. I went for a run and the rain started near the end, and I stopped and walked and felt the cool raindrops splash my face. It was such a great feeling, and one I've never gotten during a sunny run. Just now, I'm sitting in my sweet little apartment, listening to a dad exclaim about the rain, and stomping in puddles with his daughter, who is cooing and exclaiming enthusiastically back to him. That's the gift of the Northwest- a love of weather most people dread in other parts of the country. There is nothing like the sound of the rain on a roof or windows to make me feel cozy and cocooned in warmth!
In other news, my stress level has dropped, for now, with the news that I got the position that I've been working towards in my ED. And the reaction from my fellow staff nurses has been really great so far, which is really heartwarming. I'm now in that lovely place between the achievement of a title and actually having to work and having increased responsibilities. :) So I'm going to enjoy this, because in 3 weeks I'll start grad school AND a new job, and life may not be quite so relaxed. But I'll be ready for it!
