A big part of why I moved here was that it was Southern enough to have very mild winters, average January temperatures are mid 40s (~7C).
This week it's been less than 10 degrees (-15C). Sunday we had the biggest blizzard in living memory and (for super shitty reasons) I found myself stranded, walking and hitch hiking down the highway. I walked over two miles in that storm.
Someone told me I was going to die out there in the snow. I said no I'm going to go home and snuggle my puppy. But at a point I wondered if maybe they were right.
I made it home. Me and Aurora are safe and sound even if I am very sick. I had to use a piece of iron patio furniture to pick through 7 inches of ice to get my sidewalk clear.
Being single is such horseshit. If I had a man this ordeal would be easier every step of the way. I feel deeply sad for the life that I thought I was going to live which was interrupted by the pandemic.
I am really mopey this week in part because I stopped whining to ChatGPT and so now I guess I'm gonna whine here more. I'm sure I'll be back to happy content soon enough. Thanks for indulging me during this darker turn 🫂
