Yes, if I worked from home I might have tried to cajole my way into an earlier appointment. I'm not home during most regular service times due to work, so it's not like I could ask for them to have someone come by any time if an opening did come up. It was a reminder of just how much I depend on having working internet! I'm trying to appreciate it a bit more.
I spent a quiet day today enjoying Christmas movies and watching hockey while reading. I really enjoy some quiet time!

Wow, still living that jetsetting lifestyle! That's great.
Will you be there long enough to adjust to the temperatures? That is very warm. I don't know if I would ever get used to that much heat.

i was born to catch flights, not feelings
but seriously, i think traveling is probably what i find the most rewarding! and now it's also nice to see my parents.
well, i can sleep alright at night as long as i shower right before bed and go in front of the fans, but in the day it's really warm (like right now) and i keep feeling like i'm dirty because of the sweat

Hello, everyone! It has been a very, very long time. It looks like the last time I was here was 2015!
I know some of you probably don't know who I am, but I roamed the ToO all throughout my formative teen years. I didn't know at the time, but this place offered me solace in an abusive environment. So I will always be grateful to this forum and wonderful members for that. I've been thinking about the ToO and my childhood a lot recently, and I thought I would log on to give a quick update. So much has happened since 2015. I graduated from college and got my MFA in creative nonfiction. I got married this past May to the most ridiculous man I know. And I am now working full-time at a law school as a faculty coordinator. I don't think I'll be able to be a regular again, but it has been so nice to pop in to see the familiar (yet new) ToO. I hope everyone is doing well. I might check back in later, but if I don't, I wish everyone the absolute best!

Hey Sapphire, I can't believe that it's been that long!
I'm so glad you came by to share how you're doing. It sounds like your life is going well. Congrats on your MFA and wedding and job and all those good things! I'm very happy for you.

I live, sleep, and wake up, just to live again.
Not to brag, but I'm pretty good at it.

Sure, make the rest of us jealous with your crazy life, Whitty Whit.
Nothing too exciting going on for me either. We still have snow outside and that's making it feel far from spring. I'm not that much of an outdoor person, but I would like a little warmer weather!

Whoa, we went pretty quickly from seeing the engagement photo to hearing about the wedding!
Congrats! I hope everything goes well tomorrow.

I'm enjoying the end of summer, spending time with family and friends and enjoying the nice weather. I've been working on a puzzle that I am making extremely slow progress on - really exciting stuff.
