fullupwithfire: a woman standing in the middle of a circle of flames (mcu | put time in a bottle)
From [personal profile] cosmolinguist for the December days talking meme: I always like hearing about people's lives. What's a nice thing that's happened to you lately?

So, there's been a lot of stress in my life lately, but the one thing that's given me a lot of little moments of joy has been the weather. I've mentioned this before, but for new people, I moved from Florida to Tennessee earlier this year, after about 20 years living there, and the main reason I always hated Florida was the lack of changing seasons and the constant heat. It's been really nice to watch the seasons change; our apartment has a wooded area directly across the street, and going outside or peeking out the window to watch the leaves change colors and the trees die has been a real source of excitement.

And shortly before Thanksgiving this year, we had a day where it snowed.

It wasn't very much, it didn't even stick really, but it was my first snow since I was, mmm, eight I think? I didn't even take trips outside of Florida until the last couple years, and even then, never in the winter. I've been waiting most of my life to have the cold and the snow back, and I just had a ridiculous amount of excitement when it finally was there.

In other nice news, Bast got me a paid account so I've been playing with icons. Man, I love having lots of icons.

Every time I look outside my window, I find myself going, holy shit, I'm actually not in Florida anymore. Things haven't been the best lately, but that is a big thing and I'm so happy about it.

And in other good news: I have a work thing! Sort of. It's... a minimal amount of money per week and at the moment I need to work every single day to come up with any sort of respectable amount of money, and even that's at whim of whether there's work available, but it's something and that's a hell of a lot better than nothing.

I applied for some actual out-of-the-house job stuff at what's supposed to be a pretty decent work place, so keep fingers crossed for me? And I'm also working on finding other in-the-house stuff if that falls through, so hopefully either way things will work out.
