I moved across the street over the past couple of days to a freestanding house (was in a triplex before) and I now have a private fenced yard, a washer/dryer, a bigger kitchen, and basement storage.

Yeah - happens a lot with the iPhone. I have a ton of photos where my 12lb cat looks bigger than he does. Case in point:

He is a normal size for a male whippet, he is 35 pounds. I am about 5โ€™4โ€.

Itโ€™s 35ยฐ and snowing right now in Anchorage, Iโ€™m going to the grocery store dressed like I am from Portland. I think I look cute! Itโ€™s not like I am going to be walking around in snowbanks or anything #Alaska #Oregon

The sun rising over the Chugach mountains in Anchorage, Alaska at 9:40am. A municipal airport and a frosty grass field is in the foreground.

9:25am sunrises are still fascinating to my southern-raised brain! Itโ€™s only gonna get weirder from here but I kind of love it. Yes Iโ€™m taking vitamin D and have bright lights in my house! #alaska

My friend is flying in to visit me for the weekend on Friday. The government is still shut down and air traffic controllers received partial paychecks this week. Shit has been bad for a long time but itโ€™s about to get much worse. #FDT

You were extremely reactive to my completely normal response, thatโ€™s on you, not me. ๐Ÿ™‚

Reading my comment over and over again and I cannot fathom how you interpreted that I was insulted. What a crazy reply.

Whoa whoa I was just saying the location, I was perfectly calm and enjoying the conversation as i literally donโ€™t remember the exact location. What is your deal? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Iโ€™m pretty sure it was near the Oregon coast but it could also be Washington. ๐Ÿคฃ I canโ€™t remember everywhere Iโ€™ve been.
