Things accomplished.

Today:
1.) Woke up.
2.) Worked 8 hours.
3.) Drove to Seattle and parallel parked in the tightest space.
4.) Brainstormed self-introduction lessons for Korea.
5.) Easily found my way from downtown to Ballard without getting on i-5
or getting lost.
6.) Discovered amazing new coffeehouse in Ballard called Ballard Coffee Works.
7.) Drank a $7.00 cup of drip coffee! Eep! I had no idea! The barista asked me what kind of slow-brew I wanted and I asked her what she recommended and then she rang me up! It was a delicious cup of single-origin Sumara brewed with a Chemex, but still, the price was steep!
8.) Had a thoughtful theological conversation with a friend.
9.) Sang 'Be Thou My Vision' and 'Nothing But The Blood of Jesus' at Mars Hill. It was wonderful.
10.) Got totally lost because of a detour coming home.
11.) Tried out a new way to get home from Seattle and discovered that i-5 North + 405 South + 522 East is maybe just as fast as going from i-5 to Lake City Way, but it is really, really the long way around. This just  confirms that I've been going the best way all along and I'm alright with that.
12.) Climbed in bed at 10:30pm. That's leaves about 4.5 hours of sleep before I need to wake up for work again.

There are some things that I simply won't miss about being a barista.
