 @ce153dde 🤣 I'd probably like the country more if it wasn't hot ass Arizona. I do miss NYC though 😍

 @50b353e9 Ok, you’re in Arizona. Can you settle something for me? I hate summer because hot, muggy sticky weather just isn’t my jam. , People tell me I’d be fine in a place like Arizona, because, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”

They’re full of shit, aren’t they?

 @ce153dde 🤣 well, yeah. I was born in Florida. Lived there a bunch. Hated it. The stickiness. But here- my dad came here, said it's basically cooking from the inside out. It's 103 here right now. I haaate it. Can't go outside much - from like, April or May to at least Oct - even Nov, still crappy really. It's gonna start going into December. Only a couple of decent months. Sure, no snow to shovel or driven in, but to me, it's not worth it. No seasons. It's like fuckin 80% summer, 20% like, spring. Blech.

 @50b353e9 Oh god, ugh! On the bright side, you’re out of Florida, so 🤷‍♀️ 

Seriosuly, though, I absolutely feel for you. Humid or not, 100+ temperatures are miserable. 😖

 @ce153dde for real! I loved NH when I was there 🤣 just no good jobs. Have to be more in MA, and so expensive.
