Do something everyday that scares you...check

This morning I woke up and did not know where I was and once I figured it out, I had to convince myself it was real. Now, I've been many places and even in a very short amount of time and can not remember having this feeling. Yesterday, I shipped off my bike in a box and jumped on a plane to the west coast. Yet another weird feeling, flying out here for the first time. I decided after much deliberation and a few pro and con lists that coming to Seattle for the summer was my best bet; for sanity for the adventure, for whatever reason I ended up here. So I sit here at the Porchlight, typing away because unless I'm documenting my travels, I write when I'm looking for answers. Fortunately, yet perhaps unfortunately I don't need any answers. I have a plan and I have my needs met and I have challenged myself to a sink or swim situation. Today I rode a bike down hill to an office in an alleyway, made 20$ and drove a segway for two hours "guiding" two very nice tourist around a city I still on a first date with. I'm learning as I go and I figure if all else fails, people just want to dick around on the segways and I'm safe. When we made it down to the water, I might as well have been dreaming. The sight of Mt Rainier in the back ground felt fake. Yesterday I was at my house, where I have grown very comfortable, looking out across miles of flat land, wondering what the hell I thought I was doing with my life. Today I'm still not sure its all happened.
