@Wildfire: I live near sanford in Volusia county. I lived in orlando for a year and actually just moved back to this area last month. I've lived in florida since 2016, and before i lived in idaho (where i grew up).

@GoblinsAndTea: Hello! Yeah, it's been a quiet few hours.

@GoblinsAndTea: ... ish. We should be almost on page 54 now... so 55 is definitely do-able :3




@Alorrena: aaaah... so you're about 2-3 hours away, depending on whether I-4 is the route, and what that looks like on any given day XD You're not too far. How do you like it, now that you've been here for a couple of years?

    @Wildfire: oh man, i find driving scary in any capacity, never mind in a storm!
    Sorry I disappeared for a while there, I’m back at my place now. I am hoping to get dinner, work on my novel, and sleep early, hopefully in that order XD I think for dinner I will have tomato soup, I’m not particularly hungry. I’ll have some fruit later if I get hungry, but probably not.

@Wildfire: I don't mind it, the heat sucks and i miss snow, but i don't mind it here. The people here sure are interesting though, and it was a little bit of a culture shock for me with how a lot of people act here. They're very aggressive for no reason. Also, my husband doesn't like when i honk the horn when i'm driving "Because that's how you get shot." which was different cause in idaho you use your horn to tell people they're being unsafe and it's not considered "dangerous". I just googled it and the crime rates here are about double what they are in Boise, so again, culture shock. People are wild. Also the way everyone drives here? jeeze!!! It took me like 2 or 3 years to be comfortable driving on I4 with the way people don't signal when changing lanes or the people that weave in and out of traffic.

@sunny: lol... yeah, these can be scary storms. Usually though, they're avoidable, and if you're out somewhere and find yourself in one, it usually passes in a few minutes, so hanging out in the car in the parking lot is a good option. The only issue is if you're on the road and there's no place to get off safely.
I'm glad you're home safely. It sounds like you have a relaxing night ahead of you - I hope the writing goes well for you. :3

    @Wildfire: oh that’s good that the storms pass quickly!
    Yeah, I’m not sure how much writing I’m going to get done, I’m pretty sleepy, but I’ll give it a go :)
    How is your garden looking today?

@Alorrena: ROFL! People are aggressive here? Yes, they definitely can be, but, imo, it's nothing compared to the cities going up the east coast!! I'm convinced the crazy drivers are because people come here literally from everywhere else... so there's no real pattern to the traffic or standards for driving, which breeds chaos. Add in a snowbird or vacationer or two and that's a recipe for absolutely crazy traffic... and I still use my horn when necessary... but probably not as much as you're used to doing in Idaho...

@sunny: Yeah, the storms tend to zoom by. I'm tellin' ya - the sun is persistent here! It really likes to strut its stuff!! XD <3

I'm a little tired atm too... restless, dog and thunderstorm broken sleep is to blame, I think...

The garden... let's see... I grabbed three tomatoes, one okra, and one jalapeno pepper from the garden today, but I'm thinking there are bugs or something going on that I need to identify and address... a couple of my plants are not looking too happy, despite all the water they just got from the storms. Most of the garden looks pretty happy though :3

@Wildfire: Yeah people are aggressive lol and not always in a bad way either. Like they can be aggressively nice too. it's weird lol Also i think you're right about why there's so many crazy drivers! I use my horn when i feel the need, but i tend to use it less when Tyi is in the car because i don't wanna stress him out.

    @Wildfire: the sun? Never heard of it XD The weather is again grey here, though supposedly later in the week we’ll be seeing temperatures of 25 degrees C, which is pretty good! I’ll believe it when I see it tho lol.
    oh no, bugs! I hope you manage to get rid of them! I’m sorry your plants are looking a bit grim :( maybe they got too much water? Idk XD

@star2000shadow: thanks, so far its doing better. I understand the low on food thing. I had to subsist on just dry cereal for a few days last week because we were 4 days away from payday and my husband's cousins had used basically a gallon of milk and didn't replace it so we ran out early 🙃 I buy food on a fairly strict budget and it has to last a month or we run out and are SOL, so that sucked. Hopefully you'll be in a better position so you can help your tummy soon!
