It's taken me a while, but I finally got used to the daytime temps in the eighties, and the different style of life down here.
Still living with my parents; but we've settled into a comfortable routine like we had when I was in high school. It's ironical, but we had to move to a different climate before the late 20's adult child returning to the nest cliché became a reality. Actually, we have no conflicts or rough spots. It's kind of nice to be in the daughter role again, but with some modifications, like no curfew.
Right now I am on the wait staff at a local restaurant. It's hard work; but Floridians tip well. I think my accent may help -- I
ve gotten the nickname "Fargo" because I sound like I
m from the movie. Yah! Daddy is not thrilled that my costume is short shorts and a tee, but at least we don't wear heels. That would be tacky.
I'm seeing someone now, but where it is going to go is unknown.
Daddy got a small boat with outboard motor for fishing.
I got a two-piece swimsuit; but need to lose some muffin top.
I'm working up my nerve to visit Miami, but have to get over being intimidated by its size and traffic.
Hope you are doing well. Or maybe I should say you all.

Now in Florida
It's nice to be in Florida; but it's taking a little getting adjusted to.
There's the heat, for one. Right now, it's in the 60s; but reports have it at a scary mid-80's next week.
My parents and I are still unpacking; and there is minor chaos in finding things as we need them.
The produce is fresh! I can live with that!
Currently, I'm a part-time waitress, doing evenings in a restaurant. Tips are good; but I'm on my feet a lot. Hopefully, I can move up to something else in the near future. Being on one's feet for so long is not easy. I'm looking at a barmaid opening tomorrow.
I tried on my two-piece swimsuit. The results were not pretty. I have a ways to go.
The sleeping late is a bad habit that needs breaking!

Florida Banana Oil
Seeing that I'm in between jobs, and Mom and Dad have recently retired to Florida, I've decided to have a change of latitude and attitude. (Too much Jimmy Buffet, IMO.) Anyway, they're looking at Fort Myers, and they invited me to live down there with them until I decide to get my own place.
I've just about had it with the cold. Coping with North Dakota can be nerve-racking, and just the desire for a more relaxed life is a sizeable draw.
I'll probably have to be casually employed for a while; but this seems like a good move despite the fact that ND has this sudden boom economy. It's a quality of life thing.

Caught in the Act
A Nebraska man returns home a day early from a business trip. It's after midnight. While en route home, he asks the cabby if he would be a witness.
The man suspects his wife is having an affair, and he wants to catch her in the act. For $200, the cabby agrees.
Quietly arriving home, the husband and cabby tip toe into the bedroom. The husband switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back and there is his wife in bed with another man!
The husband puts a gun to the naked man's head.
The wife shouts, 'Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited money.’
HE paid for the Porsche I gave you.
HE paid for our new cabin cruiser.
HE paid for your season Cornhuskers tickets.
HE paid for our house at the lake.
HE paid for your African tour and 4x4.
HE paid for our country club membership, and, HE even pays the monthly dues!'
Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun. He looks over at the cabby and says, 'What would you do?
The cabby replies, 'I'd cover him with that blanket before he catches a cold.'
