@Totalanimefan: lol that had to be the worst. I hate feeling unprepared in a park like that. Like, wanna buy some expensive merch to feel a little more comfortable? xP NO!!
Omg yes, the heat and humidity with no wind is murder! Honestly don't know how I handled it so well as a kid. There were times as an adult I went to a football game, and I had to hide in the shade (the stadium isn't a dome) to avoid heat exhaustion or stroke, which I swear was never a thing for me growing up. But bodies change I guess, and this climate change is no joke.
And yes, pretty much all hot areas for me as I lived in central GA first, then southern. I think it snowed briefly when we were in central, but it wasn't enough to stick or anything. After I moved away from south GA, it actually snowed there for the first time in who knows how long, which was a fluke. I'm like, you WOULD snow when I'm not there. xDD Same with Jacksonville where it snowed here sometime before we moved here. Trust me, I don't WANT to live where it snows all the time, but just a fluke snow wouldn't be the end of the world (for me).

@Totalanimefan: Yeah it's a shame that mental therapy doesn't seem to be seen as much of a necessity as other types of therapy. At one point in college I studied psychology as part of my major, but then I shifted gears when I realized that the career would emotionally drain me very quickly. I loved the subjects, but the idea of practicing seemed daunting, to put it lightly. I like listening to others a lot, but there's a point where it can get to be too much.

I love crockpot meals...when we properly prepare for them. xD
And I can't stand that hormonal time of month. x-x The crappy part is that I know I'm being a jerk sometimes, and yet I can't help feeling easily annoyed at every little thing. There are months where I feel like I'm PMS-ing before AND after the actual event! Like body, Y U SO RUDE?!

@Totalanimefan: I can't recall ever being in Orlando during a time it was really cold, but I'll take your word for it lol. I don't have the same tolerance for heat like I used to, which is funny because it's the opposite for when it's cold for me as well. Like back then, I couldn't stand it at all, but now I welcome it (to an extent anyway). I'm not really from anywhere since I'm a U.S. Air Force brat. Was born in Germany and moved to Georgia (the state) when I was about 3. Lived there for about 6 years before moving to Okinawa, Japan and lived there for 6 years before moving back stateside to a different part of Georgia. Lived there for 5 years before moving to Florida. Been here since 2009 when my parents retired together. They moved us here because this is where they grew up and met each other at a local high school. They got married shortly after graduating and went into the Air Force shortly after that together, just 6 days apart.

@Totalanimefan: The UK system sounds like a dream compared to here, but lots of places do. xD I sure wouldn't mind the $12 copays if it meant I didn't have to spend hundreds for the appointment itself. And yes, I'm sure therapists are in high demand with the pandemic taking its toll. I'm glad I have a good support system of friends and family at least. I know others aren't so fortunate.
@MoodyB: Good for you for recognizing you needed to cut ties with them! I learned the hard way what being gaslit was from a former romantic relationship. Now that I know what it is, I know how to spot it quickly and have zero tolerance for it. With my grandmother and her way of directing things back to this rift we have, I'd usually just ignore the comments or hide them altogether and move on. But that last comment was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. I know my dad's not perfect, but I'll be damned if she tries to tell me if HE'S the manipulative one. As for the Spanish, I can understand it a lot better than I can speak it. I just need someone to force me to speak it more often lol. My fiance can help, but we don't have much discipline in that area. xD
@blue: Thank you! I'm sorry you had to cut ties as well, but I'm glad you recognized that you needed to and that you did it. Unfortunately I have some experience with a toxic romantic relationship in the form of emotional abuse, so I know the feelings of feeling sentimental and nostalgic for the good times. Even though that relationship lasted a few months, it took me years to get over it. Some days I wish I could meet the person again just to tell them what an awful person they were, but I don't think that would solve anything. I like to believe that karma is a thing, and if I never interacted with the person again, I'd say I could die happy lol.

@Totalanimefan: I don't want it cold enough to get ice, but could stand to be in the 30s or 40s perhaps lol. But I live at the beaches area, which tends to be warmer than more inland because of the sea breeze, which is nice. It's funny how there can be totally different climates when it takes 20 minutes to get from here to more inland. For example, we could have sunshine while downtown is getting pounded by rain. There have been times we were driving around town and we were in and out of rain clouds.
@SorrowTheMad: Thank you! lol that 4-wheel drive about ditches was funny. A lot of the rain storms we get aren't so bad, but there can be times where you can't see 2 feet in front of you while driving. It used to be illegal to drive with your hazard lights on, but I guess they recently changed that. Some people will pull over to the side of the road and wait it out, but that's the WORST thing you can do because anybody can hit you. I honestly recommend pulling over to a parking lot if you're going to wait it out. Thunderstorms here are pretty nice, but it's the lightning storms that can be terrifying. Been through a few hurricanes too, which we always evacuate for if they reach us since we live in a flood zone by the beaches. Tornadoes...they happen, but thankfully not too often. Haven't been through one yet, personally, and I hope not to because those are a lot more terrifying than hurricanes. You get all the time in the world to prepare for a hurricane, but little to none with tornadoes.

Happy New Year everyone!!
Peanut butter mochi sounds pretty yummy. My fiance would be all over that lol. I don't know of anywhere here that has fresh mochi, but maybe I just haven't found it yet.

@Totalanimefan: I wish therapy in general was more affordable. But hey, all healthcare here is expensive. Some days I wish I could live in another country where it's more affordable if not free, but becoming a citizen anywhere else sounds like a pain.
@MoodyB: I know every family has at least one dysfunctional person, but some people just amaze me and make me wonder how they've managed to live so long doing what they do. But manipulators know how to thrive, I guess.
My mom was an only child, and both of her parents are gone now. These are the only grandparents I have left (blood-related). Which is I guess what makes it harder for me. My fiance's grandmother on his mom's side is still around, and she's so sweet. If only I could communicate with her better (she only speaks Spanish). I just need more discipline with the language since I hardly use it lol.

@Wildfire: Yup. Sorry that your allergies are acting up. I never had any environmental/seasonal allergies until I moved here. x-x Luckily it only affects me maybe a couple weeks out of the year, but still, it's annoying.

@Totalanimefan: It's nice here today. Just wish we got an actual winter like last year. It got down into the 50s this past week, but I think that's the coldest it's been all season, at least during the day.

Been a while since I last posted in here. Hello all!
@SorrowTheMad: Just read your description of the weather and accidents where you are and I don't envy you. x-x Me being a Floridian, I can't imagine trying to drive in that. Most people don't know how to drive in the rain here, and it rains pretty often! Actually, this time of year is pretty dry, but the rest of the year storms are pretty common, especially during summer.

@Koah: I used to practically be glued to my laptop, but the tables have turned with me working these last several years lol. Usually I feel socially drained by the time I get home since I deal with lots of people for my job. So typically I'll just scroll through Facebook and Reddit on my phone or watch some shows on my various streaming platforms. ^^;
@Wildfire: Right? Like why does it take so long to update things when downloading is so fast now? I'm sure I could just look up the answer to that, but I don't wanna. xD
My day is going nicely so far. I ended up completely vegging out yesterday, so today I'm being a little more productive. Did a little work earlier this morning to make my tomorrow easier. Mondays always hit us like a freight train at work for some reason, so wanna be a little more prepared. xD

@Totalanimefan: A therapist is not a bad idea, actually. I know people come to them for a range of things, so that makes sense. I'd have to do some research to see who's affordable in my area. Plus I'm not sure my insurance covers such services, but we have open enrollment coming up in the next month or so, so something for me to look into.
@MoodyB: Lucky for me, Facebook is the only social media platform I use, so it didn't take much blocking on my part lol. I still have her phone numbers on my phone, but I never use them, so will probably delete them soon. She's never been one to call anyone in the family, as she thinks phones are a one-way thing. Then she wonders why nobody comes around. I'm ranting, but this took a lot of thought, so I know the healing process will take a while. You're right that doing things that make you happy definitely helps. I want to do more of that this year, while hopefully being more careful with my money lol. I probably spend too much on food and activities, but I need to try to save for some other things, like a house and a wedding haha.

@Koah: Thank you! <3 And I'm the opposite, using my phone for most things lol. I really should use my computer more since it was a gift.
@Wildfire: Yeah, there's never a good time for updates lol. I'd update and shut down when I'm done, except I'd have to plug it in to make sure it doesn't die in the process, which is a pain. And thank you!
