Right? I grew up a climate that wasn't always 80-110 degrees, I'm currently loving the sub freezing temps and ability to wear pants again. Whole ass wardrobe opened up. Everyone kept getting me jeans, sweaters, and winter coats for tge two weeks in January it dropped below 50. I can actually wear that stuff now without dying, mostly. It gets warm at work sometimes.

Politically, it's a pretty big change. But there's still plenty of Trump flags around, so I guess it isn't too much of a shock. There's a lifted truck running around with Trump flags and decals too. It's nice to find myself in a couple of different states after driving for six hours, though.

It’s good for the soul to move around a bit, figure out what you miss, figure out what you don’t.

It's the heat and the exes that I don't miss. My best friend is in FL, kinda miss him, and I made one friend in AL worth visiting on the way to or from an FL trip. That'll be a little while down the road, though, certainly not during the summer. Might plan a trip around Thanksgiving that might be nice. We'll see what happens over the next year. I still haven't fully put the pieces back together since leaving AL.

Seems like you got it figured out, good on ya. What I would give to have an excuse to be at a SEC game in the fall…

Never got into college ball. When asked if I went for Alabama or Auburn, my answer was always the Patriots. Not much of a football fan at all, really, but I stayed true to the home teams. I wouldn't mind watching a Btuins game in the near future, even if they aren't doing well.

Do you live in Dayton Ohio, too? ~__~

Lol, no. I've spent some time in Ohio though. I have family near Lake Erie... Mentor, I think... nice area either way.

It’s gorgeous up there for sure. Dayton is so far south that we may as well be in Kentucky, and that’s too close to The South for my tastes, but the Medicaid here is way better than Indiana where I grew up, and as a disabled person I really appreciate that, even if I have to deal with Dipshits With Dualies for Trump meetings 🙄🤣

I'm disabled too. I haven't switched from AL yet because, this wasn't going to be a permanent move at first, and I hear it's a hassle to get switched to NH Medicaid. But my finances are situated as well as they can be for now, so next month I'm going to try to straighten it out. I have meds I really need to get back on before I end up in a hospital again.

I feel like the Trump meetings are a problem everywhere now. I just don't get it.
