i've been stuck in my apartment now for the past 7 days due to the subzero temperatures and i think i'm about to lose my mind.
Yeah, I heard from my former foster mom in Milwaukee the other day about the subzero temperatures, and I am thankful I don't live there anymore. When it gets that cold there, it literally feels like a slap in the face. The cold hurts my face, and feels like I've been slapped. She said that it was so cold, that the schools there had to close. I was surprised, because after the 1980s, they stopped closing schools there even on snow days, due to better snowplowing equipment and stuff. They said "now you have no excuse not to come in to school anymore!" So when she said that schools were closed for the day due to the subzero temperatures, I didn't believe her until I read the news.
When I was living in Minnesota, one day it got so cold that when I had to walk down to the gas station down the street, I had a tiny vein burst in one of my eyes. Thankfully, the vein healed, and my eyes are fine, but that was NOT pleasant.
Here, if the temperatures gets below 50 degrees, and I don't have an important doctor's appointment to go to, I won't leave the house. Yes, I am not kidding....I hate being cold! Anything below 70 feels cold to me, and when it gets below 50, it is TOO cold for me! I would rather stay in and watch movies than freeze my ass off at the bus stop waiting for a bus or waiting for my ride to go someplace if it's not necessary to go to on that day, if it can wait, then I will wait for a warmer day to go instead! Yeah, I'm a wimp, but oh well. I don't like being cold at all! I love being warm!
<repeats back to self: "only 5 more months until your move to arizona. only 5 more months...">
So you've got a set date for your move to Arizona, or do you already have an apartment there already, with the lease signed and your security, first and last month's rent already paid for?
