    I visited D.C. for the first time last December. It was very pretty and I had some really great food while I was there. I was most surprised by all the marble everywhere; it really does feel like a waste to make the curbs out of marble but go off, I guess.

    I like the winter and autumn here, they're pleasant enough. But the summers are just brutal sometimes, especially with all the pavement and utter lack of greenery. And all the goddamn garbage that's always piled up everywhere. Pee yew.

@Totalanimefan: 23 hr 48 mins by car apparently xD rofl
Woo for getting stuff done off your list! That's always a great feeling.


@blue: lol I live in a desert area, it's usually hot year round lol right now we're having this weird winter freeze from out of no where xD They sent me home from work (Well gave me the choice but I don't know how to drive on ice so thought it was for the best.)

    @MimikyuToo: The weather has been all over the place, I feel like. Back in my hometown, they've been getting record amounts of snow so it feels a lot like how it was when I grew up. Into my later years, there wasn't as much snow so it started to feel a little bit like Washington with all the rain and casually late snowfall.

    Oh, I learned to drive on ice! But I think the roads and traffic patterns where I live now are so drastically different that I wouldn't trust any other driver, ha ha!

@blue: I think it has been a bit all over the place lately. And wow that's wild.

I definitely don't agree with others driving around here xD They drive recklessly.

    @MimikyuToo: I don't know how I'm still always so surprised when there are reckless drivers out there on the road. Where are they going? Are they late? Is it a mid-life crisis?

    I hope your week is shaping up well, despite the bad drivers. ha ha!

@blue: Right!? Like where are you going? What's happening? xD

It's going. I'm a little worried about the roads the next few days but we will figure it out xD

@Totalanimefan: I've actually never been on a plane in my entire life XD
I think I'll try a short flight first before flying other places.

@Totalanimefan: That's what I was kind of thinking. I think my anxiety is a problem with it. Honestly, I know statistically it's safest but in my head I'm going to fall out of the sky xD But I think maybe a small flight would be the smartest idea at first to see if I can handle it or not xD

@Totalanimefan: Hahaha, that's true, my husband said I could always take a benadryl.
Though I don't think /that/ specifically would help xD I do have anxiety meds I could take.
Ooof yea I think that would be for the best xD I have a fear of falling so that's probs the problem.

@Totalanimefan: aye aye xD I definitely will keep that in mind when I fly.
Maybe look into statistics more before I fly as well xD
Have you flown a lot?

    I take a cbd gummy when I'm headed to an airport. It's not the flying that causes me stress, but the actual airport process and making sure everything is timed well. It's just the timing and being behind that one group of people who didn't think the rules applied to them.

    Short commercial flights are pretty easy--usually the same kind of airport process if it's not international, but if it's just a short trip then you don't have to worry about bags. I had a short trip recently through the U.S./Québec that was pretty easy, even with customs. I've been in some small planes before and I can't say I really enjoyed those. Back home, you usually travel around the state through small planes and they're like these little tin cans just sort of being whisked around.

@blue: I, unfortunately, don't take CBD because it can still make you pop on a drug screen which I signed a paper at work saying I could be randomly drug screened. So I avoid them. Timing stresses me out too honestly.

I was planning my first trip to be here in America, where I live because the time to fly to other countries (besides Mexico and Canada) seems to have waaay long flight times. Which seems intimidating to me right now. but oh wow, small planes that are like cans in the wind sound scary xD

@Totalanimefan: Huh, I've never been through the process but my fear is falling to my death which is why airplanes scare me so much ^-^; Wow, you flew a lot :O awww I miss my family a lot, we drive to see them but they're not as far away as your family is.

@Totalanimefan: About 5 hours, they live in a small town in the state over.
I would fly but we would still have to drive like 2 hours from the nearest airport.

@Totalanimefan: Huh, I'll definitely keep that in mind when I decide to choose my first "Short flight" xD
I'm hoping we will try sooner than later but life kinda chooses for us I think xD

@Totalanimefan: Honestly I probably will go with my hubby.
But I don't know how much help he would be xD
I think I'll take anxiety meds before the plane ride.

That's where I would be like "Oh yea let's do this".
He's down for all the food spots there xD

@Totalanimefan: oooooo, okay I’ll talk to my husband about it and see if we can’t come up with something.

We could always plan for next summer if we can’t get the time off for work.
