Of all the house sitting gig’s I’ve had, the one I’m doing right now is hands down the best of the best. The bee’s knees. Crème de la crème. Typically my pet-ventures are in my neck of the woods, but this one is in Seattle.
And I’ve been here for thirteen days, with three more to go.
My excited face.
First and foremost being in Seattle puts me literally 15 minutes from work. Opposed to two hours. Granted I still don’t mind my commute, but hot damn is it nice not having one right now. I’m in for a rude awakening when I go home.
No commute means more time for running.
My current running spot.
Will run for V/GF cupcakes
Secondly, being in Seattle puts me only an hour away from some of my favorite hikes. Typically I travel two hours to get here, which I also don’t mind, (clearly my perception of time is much different than most) but again SO NICE to chop off an hour.
Thirdly, I am so close to ALL THE VEGAN FOOD. Again, I happily travel to Seattle in my spare time JUST TO EAT sometimes, but here I am SMACK in the middle of it all. So many options, so little time. My mind is like a tornado, and my mouth is like a suck hole.
Cafe Flora – Italian burger GF/V
How cute is this restaurant setup?
Portage Bay Cafe – V/GF pancakes with UNLIMITED BERRY BAR
Sugar Plum – V S’mores Brownie
Chaco Canyon Cafe – Quinoa, kelp noodles, tempeh bacon with ginger sesame sauce.
Disclaimer: I make sure to also eat a vegetable based meal of greens to balance out the above goodness.
My housemate is a cat, so my job is not only easy, but enjoyable. I love cats. We just get each other. She is black just like my little, and she roams the land in the daytime like a gypsy warrior. She eats well and runs around to burn it off.
Basically we’re twins. Although she has better self control than I do, I offered her some bread I made and she denied.
Good, more for me.
Grain free chocolate zucchini bread. Yusss.
I’m never bored over here, there is always something to do. So many cafes, so many restaurants, so many people. If anyone wants to move to Seattle and split the $48496438967 rent with me that’d be great.
Or I’ll just house sit forever. Or I’ll sleep in abandoned churches and lighthouses.
That’s all for now. I run. I work. I hike. I eat. I study. I explore. & Repeat.
Q: City or suburb dwelling?
