rain rain you can stay

Oddly enough I haven't been minding the rain this week. I do wish it was warmer but what can you do? It's finally June in Seattle.

Last night I spent a few hours moving everything I have from the bedroom on the ground floor to a bedroom on the third floor. Every time I move (an activity I truly despise) I am disgusted by how many things I own. I grumble and moan and in my heart there's a desire to just pile it all up and burn it. Simplify and reduce so that at any given moment I could pack up and take everything with me. I guess you could say I've never been a homebody. Even so I am gladly anticipating a summer spent in Washington...I want to breathe it in (Anne Shirley). I am so looking forward to quality time spent with those that know me best. Still, it's fun to daydream about where to go next and what possibilities might be out there...! I just can't help myself.

in a little while i'll feel better
gonna travel all around the world
gonna see it all

gonna go to paris, maybe rome
but i'll feel better miles away from home,
gotta figure some things out

so sell all my things, i'm not coming home
there's nothing there to keep me there
just heartache and headache and worries and things that'll bring me down
my head feels much clearer being here

in a little while i'll feel better
gonna spill my heart to every stranger in every town
i'll visit castles in ireland,
have some fella play the violin and play a song for me

so sell all my things, i'm not coming home
there's nothing there to keep me there
just heartache and headache and worries and boys that'll bring me down
my head feels much clearer being here
