[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Odd post. My husband and I moved to DC from NYC and I was unhappy for 8 years. We moved to Florida in November,  both work from home and are extremely happy.  Maybe don't make blanket statements about a whole state when you lived in one area. Or work on getting a guy. [/quote]

You have only lived in Florida since November. Check back after missing all four seasons. [/quote]

Different poster. I've lived in Florida for five years. We also both work from home. Summer is terrible here - but it was awful in DC, too, and at least it cools down at night in Florida unlike in DC. Would MUCH rather be here than DC - and I liked DC well enough.

Though COVID is challenging my love for this state....[/quote]
How afraid do you feel in your daily life? Grocery shopping and all right now?[/quote]

We can do an s/o if you want. Basically, it is pretty scary right now! My husband and I both work from home, and don't have kids, so we are able to navigate this more easily than many other people (knock wood a million times). But we don't go shopping at the big grocery stores. We don't go to Target. I usually shop at a small, uncrowded gourmet market once a week to pick up some bread and vegetabies, but most food we get from Instacart. We do takeout, we don't eat at restaurants. A couple of times, we had friends in our backyard for open-air dinner - but now that the numbers are back up again, we aren't doing that.

I got out for about two hours of walks a day, even in the heat of summer. That helps keep me feeling sane. But life is very limited right now. Luckily we have a comfortable home and like each other, and have Netflix. I won't get to come up north anytime soon, and won't be seeing my elderly parents or (soon to be) newborn niece or beloved nephew this year, I imagine. That is very hard. But like everyone, I am trying to keep my head steady and remind myself this (hopefully) isn't forever.

I live in a very blue city so there are Biden signs all over the place, which probably makes me feel more reassured that at least we could have political change soon. [/quote]
Thank you for answering! I suppose even if you wear a mask, people close that do not wear masks indoors would be scary right now. [/quote]
