I've gone from using the fireplace just so I don't freeze and sleeping under 3 blankets in Michigan to considering turning the AC on in the bedroom and the heat being off in the house in Oklahoma
latest #19
also constant snow and it was 11 last week to midfall and 74 this weekend
this back and forth is messing with me
when I'm in the one place, I want to be at the other
and then I feel guilty. but I can't help feeling how I feel
while I'm staying at two places, I can't have just one feeling like home
That makes sense, and it's very difficult going between temperature extremes like that
temperature extremes. social extremes. cultural extremes. the houses are different. I'm in charge of everything at this house, but not at the other
Yeah
it sounds rough
things are mostly easier back there, but my bed and PC and the babies and my kids are here.
and it makes me feel like I'm whining when I admit to dissatisfaction/frustration
like "waah, boohoo, I feel REALLY sorry that you have two houses and a family"
it would be a lot easier with one house. and getting to see the kids/grandkids semi-regularly even if not constantly. and not having to make a 20+ hour trip twice every month
I thought I was gonna die both when I moved to the UP and when I moved back down south; I can't imagine going through that on a regular basis
I live both places EVERY MONTH
it's totally legit to be stressed and whine about it
and I'm getting allergy symptoms from the back and forth
