There are people built for the tri-state. The people who crave crazy & chaotic. The need constant movement. They love the weather. I know this one has been ruff, but many people actually love the change of season. I only like one season. I think my body only likes one season too. One guess, & if you don't say summer, your wrong. I hate the winters, and I cant fucking stand the winters in the tri-state. Lately, my body has been putting up some protest. I know I feel better in the warmer climates, cause I felt almost normal in 2 days after landing in the Bahamas. Like I said, vacation are not with children. I still had to be mommy. It just didn't take as much out of me, like it does in the cold. I did what I had to do, & it didn't kick the shit out of me.
If I had to wear a sweater in 80 degrees, high 40's are torture. Fuck Spring. I need 85 & fast. This leaves me with very few options. Like I said, most people would die at the thought of being so far detached from the place that has "all of it". Keep it. Give me a small house close to a beach. A town so small, everyone knows everyone (its how I grew up anyway). One place to shop. No shirt, no shoes, no problem. My OCD doesn't fit? Maybe I wouldn't have OCD because I would be so laid back, I wouldn't care?
I would love it. Instead of cars, we would own mopeds (except for Anthony's work truck). My kids would get the same education the rest of the kids on the island get. The same as anyone elses' kids. If it works for them, it would work for my kids too.
No, I would have no problem leaving all of this behind. Problem is money... Anthony makes too much to walk away from it. Money that can only be made here. Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Mgmt, you can all relocate, & your job or your wage would still be similar. Not a Carpenter. And definitely not a NY Union Carpenter. I don't even think people in Anthony's line of work on islands, even know what a union is. What does that leave. Private Company. Not in this economy. So we are stuck. I feel like the animals who hibernate in the winter. Since I cant sleep for three months straight, this really sucks. Like I said, FUCK SPRING. Summer cant get her fast enough
