I have Youtube on autoplay again lol
Right now we're on Finntroll: "Ett Norrskensdad".

I definitely plan on growing my own veggies when it becomes possible. That, and whatever else I can manage with the space I'll have. Probably some herbs, at least.

I haven't listened to Cradle of Filth in years, but recently I got the urge to listen to them again so I just picked a song and put Youtube on autoplay. Currently it's on "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids".

I think the longest flight I've been on was from Des Moines to Las Vegas. Don't remember exactly how long that one was, but definitely over 3 hours, which is more than enough for me. I could swear it was more like 5 tbh... cause the flights from there to NC were under 2.5.

:o I've never been out of country. Maybe someday... So far, I think the neatest airport I've been through is the one in Florida when we went to Disney. It's been a while; I don't remember the name of it, but that thing was like a big ol' mall. And that flight was way too long for me

I've managed not to puke so far; years of getting sick in cars has taught me that the best defense is to just go to sleep lol
IDK which airports you're going through, but I went through Chicago O'Hare a lot and always thought it was pretty nice. Unfortunately, the airport here where I live is not very nice at all. But at least it's not the one I had to spend all that time waiting in.


edit: did you say 16 hour flight because nope

Corgis were never my favorite, but all dogs are good dogs. So for that, I guess I have to agree.

I used to take flights by myself about twice a year, so I got used to it pretty quickly. I actually really enjoyed it, tbh, but it does have its boring moments. Especially the flight itself--at least the airport gives me stuff to do and look at! Can't do much on a plane besides nap and listen to music, as I tend to get motion sickness.

I appreciate y'all's input! I'm gonna be looking into some of this stuff. Wysa in particular sounds like something that'd come in handy; never heard of it before.

I mostly grew up on 90s Nickelodeon. Doug, Rugrats, Salute Your Shorts, Pete and Pete, Kablam!, Legends of the Hidden Temple, etc etc and then there was stuff like Eureeka's Castle and Gullah Gullah Island on Nick Jr..
I don't remember what channel it came on, but I was a big fan of the Beetlejuice cartoon, too.
Also loved anything related to animals, so I watched a ton of stuff on Animal Planet (you know, back when they actually had shows about animals). My favorite was the Crocodile Hunter and pretty much anything narrated by David Attenborough.

Basically right now my life sucks and so does my health, most of it for reasons which are beyond my control. At least some of it is on the path to changing for the better, however, which will make transitioning into a healthier and more natural lifestyle much more doable. In the meantime, I'm working my way toward improving what I can and learning things for the future, even if I'm not able to use them right away.

This includes pretty much all aspects of health both mental and physical, as well as home living and consumer choices that are more cost-efficient and eco-friendly.

Small steps that I can take in my current situation:
-For my physical health, I've been reducing animal products and added sugars in my diet and moving away from anything artificial in both food and bath/body products. I'm going to try to get more exercise outside of work (even so work is physically exhausting, I don't like sitting on my butt all day when I'm off).
-Mental/emotional health is a trickier one. Stress is my number one problem right now, and there's not much I can do to reduce or avoid it. My job and living situation don't afford me much human interaction, much less positive interaction, so attempting to be more active in online communities and spend more time away from home (not including work) when possible is about the best I can think of.
-As far as lifestyle goes, there's not much I can do since I don't have my own house, but I do recycle when possible and try to be mindful about the things I use/buy.

So who else has an interest in more natural approaches to health and lifestyle, and what do you do (or want to do) about it? If you have resources or information to share, those are also welcome.

Glad to hear it. I wish you luck in your progress, wherever life takes you!

Thank goodness for rain! RAIN IS BEST WEATHER. Unless it's really cold. Still better than snow, though, because rain doesn't turn into ice and slush.
