@Aisukohi: Yeah that's basically been me for the last decade or so, only recently I added in drinking large amounts of whiskey by myself (about six months ago). Getting out more and using Braincore has been helping immensely with getting out of the house (working on the drinking lol). That's good that you were able to get out of that and even work through your phone anxiety. What do you do for work?

@Totalanimefan: That weather sounds lovely for us, but I also understand you're not used to my kind of weather so I get it lol. We just had -30 windchill a couple days ago randomly lol.
@Totalanimefan: Hopefully you get your windows before summer lol! That would be just awful if they waited that long especially considering how cold it's been there. I'm super glad you got the flooring fixed omg! That sounds awful otherwise!
@Totalanimefan: Compared to what we've been having I'd happily take 19 lol. Sorry to hear that it's affecting your house though. Jokes aside, cold is only ok when your house can handle it and keep you warm after you've been outside. Sorry to hear :(
@Totalanimefan: I was thinking about going for a walk today but the -30 windchill when I woke up is a bit of a deterrent. I'm being safe from Rona :)

@Aisukohi: Yeah it's definitely been helpful. It's been a long time since I've felt this happy, and gone so long without a depressive episode. And it just keeps getting better :) I think ambivert is where I'm getting to be. My family is shocked since I used to just lock myself in my room and not come out for any reason except work lol.
@Totalanimefan: That's for sure! I kind of love it actually, being extroverted like this. Yikes, that's pretty crazy in terms of wind. Sorry to hear you're getting so much crap for weather. That's good that you were able to get a walk in though! I should do that :)
@Totalanimefan: I'm doing great! For the last month I've been getting out of the house almost every day and hanging out with friends, and the last two weeks I only missed three nights. I'm turning into an extrovert I think lol. How are you?
@Totalanimefan: Ok cool! Once I get paid I'll probably get one then :D Thanks for the recommendation!

@Aisukohi: Sounds like things are going well there for you then :) I'm doing pretty good, ended up going out with a few friends last night and hanging out for a few hours after work. I used to think of myself as an introvert but these past few weeks I've been going out more and more, doing things I never thought I'd do. So yeah, it was fun!
@Aisukohi: Yeah not my first choice of things to do for sure. That's good that your day is going well, although sorry to hear about the tantrums from the kiddo. Hope things get better :D

@Totalanimefan: I should do that, the charging port on my phone is kinda loose. Is it fast charging then through Qi?
@Totalanimefan: I'll have to check it out then! I don't mind Qi charging at all. :)

@Aisukohi: Definitely can say I've never had that happen where I had to remove glass, but I'm glad I haven't. My day is going well, and how about yours?
@Totalanimefan: Good to know! I have a Type C charging port but it seems like none of the Type Cs I have charge fast at all. I'll try to find one that charges fast maybe? Idk.

@Aisukohi: Yeah, driving through blizzard-conditions is no fun, or even just with someone that didn't scrape their cars off. Yikes, thankfully we don't get too much in the way of flying debris from trucks although driving anywhere near a semi makes me nervous regardless lol. Driving with cracked windshields is crazy. One good bump and it's all gone. People are stupid. I'm glad your insurance was able to pay for the cracked windshield for you though :)
@Totalanimefan: I do have an external battery but it charges very slowly and is a few years old. I might try to get a new one soon, one that charges quickly
@Totalanimefan: Yeah kinda, it's just very dull. And my phone dies quickly now because of how much I'm on it lol.

@Aisukohi: I totally get what you mean about those bad rains, we have something similar with snow that we call "white out." It's actually illegal to drive a vehicle if you don't completely dust it off of snow (even if it's snowing) because large chunks of snow can fly off your roof or even your hood or trunk and land on someone else's windshield, completely blinding them. I have actually seen that happen in snow though where someone pulls over and gets hit, because in a bad blizzard it doesn't take long for people to get covered, or even for wind to push a driving car into a parked one. But I agree, tornadoes suck.
@Totalanimefan: Yeah that's fair. I'm glad everything worked out in the end. :) Snow is no fun for anyone to try and drive in so I'm glad you're all ok. And yeah, it'll be about March or April once we start getting busy again. Almost wondering if it's worth even going in today...
@Aisukohi: Hey, I like your avi! Yeah I totally get what you mean! Here we have idiots that think they can drive with 4 wheel drive and can match the 65 speed limit, but my family always said "4 wheel drive just gets you into the ditch faster." But yeah, I probably wouldn't be able to drive in some of the rainstorms you get down there. We get a few bad ones once in a while but definitely not very often.

@Totalanimefan: It is safe after it gets plowed and scraped. Sand or salt as well. Usually it's best to wait a few hours after it ends and then everything will be dug out. We have like a fleet of plows on the city payroll to make sure it's never more than a day or two before we can go back. Hopefully it won't be too bad where you're at. And nah, we're on a pretty similar schedule to real estate. Slows down during the winter, speeds up in the summer. Probably won't have much to do until spring.
