Transcript
- Andrea: Hello everyone and welcome back to a rabbit trail episode. Some of my favorites and because it's the end of the day we get a little cray cray. Olivia: This podcast is for entertainment, informational, educational purposes only. Although the hosts are licensed therapists, this podcast is not a substitute for professional mental health services. Listening to this podcast does not create a therapist-client relationship. Preach. Absolutely. Are you a sentimental person? No, no, nothing else. Are ⁓ a sentimental person? ⁓ Andrea: And in this- If you are experiencing mental health concerns, please seek help from a qualified mental health professional in your area. If you are in crisis, call or text a suicide prevention line in your country immediately. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 or use online chat at 988lifeline.org. Yeah, I would say so. Olivia: Okay, let me ask you a related question. Would you ever upgrade or change your wedding ring? Andrea: That's why is that a tough question. Olivia: I don't know. don't know. I don't know. You tell me. Andrea: I don't think so. Olivia: Why was that hard to answer? Andrea: I don't think so. Well, because my husband's getting a really good job and he's gonna be making a lot of money and... Olivia: So it's time for an upgrade. Andrea: It would be fun. But I think I don't know. I really like what I have. And I think if I wanted to change it, it would just be to like put another band on the top of it that's like similar to the band I have on the bottom. Olivia: because you're sentimental or for another reason. Andrea: I think it'd be sentimental because I like what I have and I want to keep it because it's that that was that's the ring like this is the ring this is the one but to add to it would be really fun but I don't think I would ever want to change it like I think I would just want to keep it because it's special I mean I'm I'm sentimental enough that the necklace that I wore on my wedding day was the diamond that my dad gave my mom when they got married and engaged or engaged But I refuse to put that in a ring because it's cursed because they're divorced. Olivia: but not cursed enough you didn't wear it for your own wedding. Andrea: I wore it as the necklace, I wouldn't put it in a ring. I didn't want it as like a engagement ring. Olivia: It's like a half curse situation is what I'm hearing. Right. Yeah. ⁓ huh. Andrea: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But the diamond itself for like that piece was sentimental to me. It was like special because it was something that belonged to both my parents. Olivia: Yeah, mean, that's fair, that's fair. Andrea: Yeah. OK, what's your answer? I feel like I'm in trouble. Why do I feel like I'm in trouble? Olivia: No, I'm not in trouble. just like, okay, so this is why I'm asking. changed my wedding ring like three times. ⁓ Andrea: Okay. Really? did not know this about you. What? About anything? Olivia: How about a few personal items? Not many, not many. And then I'm about... Like different items like of my daughters. Like that's honestly where most of my sentiment goes is like stuff of my daughters. Like her ultrasound pictures or like, you know, like her hat that she got from the hospital, you know, like, like those, those kinds of things. Yeah. We already knew you were sentimental because that's why I asked the question. So my ring used to be backstory, I picked out my ring. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense, yeah. I have the card she made me up on my wall. Olivia: And it used to be a blue sapphire. I really loved it, but then everyone kept comparing it to Princess Diana's ring. Because it looked a lot like Princess Diana's ring because it was like, it was a sapphire and then it had like diamonds, little diamonds all around it. And everyone kept comparing it to it. And I was like getting like, it's not, I'm, I didn't even know what her ring looked like before this. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's not why I Don't even think I know what it looks like but I know what you're describing so yeah Olivia: Right, yeah. And I was like, ugh. And then eventually I was like, I do like the blue, but like, I think it was like a little too dark of a blue. like three year anniversary, we went to go get it like cleaned or something like that. And my husband was like, hey, like, why don't we just like look at what it would be like to get like another stone or something, like upgrade it. And I was like, it's, we've been married three years. Like, really going to upgrade. like, we'll just look for fun. Don't. Andrea: Hmm. Olivia: My husband cannot look for fun at anything, literally anything. Like there is, it's not, it's not possible for him to do something casually. So we look at rings stones. He's like, no, no, no. ⁓ see how much you like the stuff. We're going to get it. And I was like, okay. So then I got a peach sapphire, which is like totally different color, right? Which is what I have. I'm not wearing it right now, but what I have in there. Yeah. Yeah. And then like a year later, was it a year later or the same time? Andrea: I feel that. Yep. Okay. Yep. ⁓ okay. Yeah. I was gonna say that's the one you wear now, isn't it? Okay. Olivia: He was like, hey, let's add the other band to it. I was like, I mean, ⁓ ⁓ But like, we don't have to. So like, it's like super blinged out. It's lovely, but it's like super blingy because the way that the diamonds and the bands and the whole thing. like, I look at it and it's like ⁓ I like, don't really see the like peach sapphire, which is fine. Anyways, well, wear it. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah, because Right. Yeah. Olivia: I wear it sometimes, I don't wear it other times because I get like eczema and so I have to like take it off really regularly and all this stuff. Anyways, we're coming up on our 10 year wedding anniversary, which is... Whoa! ⁓ Andrea: Yeah, was just gonna say bonkers. Olivia: bonkers. also, just, just so we're clear, I have also upgraded my spouse's wedding ring. So his original wedding ring had like wood in it. So it was like silver and like had like a wood like interlay. ⁓ And he found this ring that he really liked and it had like moon dust in it. So, so got him one of those. Andrea: Hmm, okay. I looked at those for my husband. Yeah. Yeah. Olivia: So then he had kind of like an upgrade. So then he used to wear both. Anyways, we're coming up on our tenure and I was like, hey, I don't clearly give a shit about my wedding ring. I like, hey, what would you think about getting matching, like, themed bands, ⁓ like bands for our tenure and like getting a, not an upgrade, but just like something different, something that's matching. Because my parents, they have matching bands. ⁓ Andrea: ⁓ yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm. I've seen that. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Olivia: And I like thought that was really cool and I really love his bands and I love my ring but I was like they don't really like match or go together. So I like hey why don't we look at getting something that's matching. He's like oh yeah sure. So we picked some out and we ordered them and in a shock to no one they are space themed. But they're super cool and I'm really excited to get them. But it's such a different kind of ring that I'm like, it's gonna be so noticeable in comparison to my other ring that I like can't wait for the like questions about it because it's like different. ⁓ Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. Do you or did you, like the first time you switched it out, like did you interchange? Like one day wear one and one day wear the other? Like will you do that with this one or is that not your vibe? Olivia: Well, I think the point right now for us is like that it matches and that it goes together. So I think like, I don't think I would necessarily interchange it. I think I would just save the old one. ⁓ cause it's got a lot of bling on it. There's no point to like do anything with it. And then if my daughter is sentimental, then she can take it and... Andrea: Mm-hmm. Yeah. sense. Olivia: Do whatever she wants. Yeah, I don't know. Because that was also in question of like when we changed out the stone, they're like, ⁓ do you want to keep stone or do you want to like just change it out? I was like, just change it out. don't ⁓ keep it. Whereas like other people I feel like would have kept it because it would have been sentimental. Andrea: Do what she pleases. Mm-hmm. ⁓ I see. Okay. I thought you got a totally different ring, but you just swapped the stone out. ⁓ okay, that makes sense. ⁓ Olivia: literally to swap the stone. Yeah. So yeah, clearly not sentimental at all. But also, here's the other thing. There's not a lot of wedding rings that I see that I don't think are beautiful. Andrea: ⁓ yeah. Yeah. Olivia: So I think that's also why I'm like, why not change it up? Like, you make the rules, so. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Yeah, there's no reason to not. Yeah. Olivia: Right. So here I am just like switching up my wedding rings. Seems like really frequently for someone who's almost been married 10 years, but here we are. Andrea: love it. I mean like you said you get to make the rules like nobody cares like Yeah That's so fun. I can't wait to see it Olivia: It's just been on my mind because like we've been looking at them, we ordered them and I'm like... Yeah, I'll send it to you after this so you can like see it. But yeah, I was like, well, I think they're really cool. I think we're gonna get a lot of questions. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I mean my husband and I both have like backup rings that are like cheap ones Because like I go to the gym and like I usually don't wear a ring at all to the gym Or like if we're doing something like going swimming or whatever like I'm not gonna wear it, but I want to wear something ⁓ But I've actually thought about getting a little tattoo Olivia: Mmm. Mm, right. Andrea: on my ring finger and not like a ring tattoo, but like a teeny tiny paper airplane on my ring finger. Yeah. And like tattoos don't last forever, but I'm like, why not? Like, it's fun. ⁓ Olivia: That's cute. I mean, both of us love tattoos, so I'm not gonna sit here and be like, don't do it. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. And my husband's never going to get tattoos. That's not like he doesn't want any. So. Olivia: I know. Andrea: He jokes, he does joke that he's gonna get like the captain stripes like pilots have. I don't remember what they're called on his shoulders. And I'm like, don't, that's There is worse things for sure. I'm like, bruh. Olivia: on his shoulders. There are worse things. I generally feel like the standard for like tattoos for men are like on the floor. Andrea: fair. That's fair. Olivia: It's either super patriotic, appropriation, or ⁓ some terrible art style ⁓ like tattoo ⁓ thing. Andrea: I tell you the tattoo that I saw at a wedding recently? Olivia: No. ⁓ no. ⁓ I'm scared. ⁓ Andrea: It's this wedding. Number one, I show up and I'm like, are any of these people of age? What is this? The groomsmen were drinking chocolate milk. Anyways, they were drinking chocolate milk with koozies on them like they were beers. So that was just the beginning of the day. There's so much to this day that I could process that I hold off on for another time, because it was too recent. But I did see the reception, one of the groomsmen unbuttoned his shirt. And it said on his chest in that font, you know what chest font I'm talking about, right? That said EST 2005. Olivia: Mm-hmm. Yes, I do. good, I'm so glad we can carbon date you. Congratulations. ⁓ Andrea: On his chest, established 2005. Thank goodness this one was of age, so I could do the math there. Didn't need to see your ID, unless you were lying, which could have been true. Olivia: Oh my gosh, could you imagine if you got that tattoo and it was like actually incorrect? I mean... Andrea: I mean a lot of people get incorrect tattoos. I have an incorrect tattoo, so Olivia: too soon. But you know what I'm talking about, I'm realizing now, generally the style of tattoos for guys suck. Suck super freaking hard. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. You know, no ragrats. Olivia: you And yet, guys with tattoos are super hot. Andrea: ⁓ huh. Olivia: Make it make sense. Andrea: I don't think I can. Olivia: But like why aren't guys getting fine-line tattoos like all the white girls like I am like Why aren't guys getting those Andrea: Right? Yeah. Great question. That's a great question. Tell us in the comments, followers. Why are men not getting fun light? Olivia: Why are men getting shitty tattoos? Andrea: I agree with that. Olivia: Right? But isn't that like the three categories it goes into? It's some like, this is from like a Maori tribe and you're like, you're white and you should not be getting a tribal tattoo. Or like a bald eagle, like breaking out of an American flag with like Abraham linking, writing it. It's like, I, great, you're American. Do you want a fucking sticker? Andrea: Hehehehehe Yeah. Yeah. I have a friend, first and only tattoo so far, he went and got a sleeve, just like immediately. ⁓ Olivia: just like full, like sat down and just got a whole sleeve. That's a lot. That's a really big jump. Andrea: Yep. Yeah. it's not something I have ever seen before and I actually think it's really cool. math behind it, because he's a nerd and I love this for him, but it's these really unique cubes that are like, it's like kind of ⁓ and they're bright and super colorful. And it like, that sounds weird, but it's- really cool and if you knew this person like you'd be like that makes sense for them and it like it's not cultural it's not like it it means something kind of like computer sciency but the way that the artist did it like it looks really cool but i would say like that's rare is like when somebody can really create an art piece on someone that is really unique and different like that so yes exactly Olivia: ⁓ super rare. Right. That a man is getting. Yeah, yeah, it's either it's those two categories or it's that like, you know what I'm talking about when I say like the more the like old like tattoo style, I can't I want to say Neapolitan, but that's not right. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I know what you're talking, like, there's a word for it. Olivia: Yeah, right, there is. I just can't think of what it is. It's it's vintage-y and it's like colored. Ugh, I don't like color tattoos generally. But yeah, but you know what I'm talking about. It's like that style, like that style that's like very, I don't know, like old time-y-ish. Andrea: it is. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't it just called like traditional? I think it's just called traditional. Yeah, I think so. If I'm thinking of the same one as you. Olivia: It is? There's conservatives in tattoo styles. Andrea: Conservative? What? ⁓ I'm like, what? yes, there is. Olivia: Traditional, conservative, like I'm making, yeah. Weird. Andrea: Well, that's a good point. Olivia: Yeah. So now that I've completely derailed us on wedding rings, and now tattoos, did you have something for the rabbit trial today? Andrea: It's a hard left turn. Olivia: as it usually is. Take me. Andrea: How? don't even know how to get into this topic. I weird about battery life. Olivia: on anything? That's we- that's fair. Okay, go on. Andrea: Yes. I am worried about damaging batteries a lot. Olivia: Now, are we talking about something that's like a rechargeable battery? Are we talking about? Okay, okay, okay. Andrea: Yes. Yes, I'm talking any type of rechargeable battery. Olivia: Okay. Andrea: So my phone, little light thing in my background, my mouse. Really anxious about killing batteries. At some point in my life, someone told me something about how conserve a battery and it's been stuck in my head. So I ⁓ really about leaving something on a charger for a really long period of time. Olivia: Okay. Is this like your equivalent of leaving the stove on? Andrea: I wouldn't say it's that bad, but I just, like, I've gotten better with like my phone. Like I can leave my phone on the charger overnight and I'm usually okay with that, except for when I get a new phone. When I get a new phone, my phone is at 100%, I take it off the charger and I let it die completely. Olivia: I'll be the judge of that. Okay. Die completely. Andrea: When I get a new phone, when I get anything new that's rechargeable, I use it until it dies completely and then I will charge it and take it off the charger immediately. Olivia: How long does that, how long do you do that for? Andrea: six months-ish. Olivia: That's commitment. I mean, most phones have like the charging optimization. mean, mine does. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah, so I've gotten better with new phones because of that, where it's like much better. But even like sometimes with my computer, my computer stays plugged in all the time, so I use a laptop. But every once in a while I'll be like, oh my God, I've been using it plugged in too long and I'll unplug it and use it until it dies. Olivia: It's like you've been personally victimized by a battery before. Andrea: Yes, I don't, do I need therapy for this? Olivia: don't know, ⁓ it getting in the way of your day to day life? Andrea: Like, like I'm almost anxious that I need to go unplug this thing because it's actively charging as it's being used and I know it's gonna be really hot when I touch it and I'm like I'm gonna battery is gonna just not work very well anymore like cool I'm killing this battery's life. Olivia: so random. That's so random. Andrea: Yeah. And it only came up just before we got on because I was plugging, like my little light was dead and I was like, ⁓ I'll plug it in. ⁓ but shoot, it's gonna be on the charger until we're done recording and that's a long time. Olivia: Also, when we got on you're like, oh yeah, my headphones died. Needed to charge them. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. I'm really bad at charging stuff before it dies, but like I only want it, but I want it to die. Like I will always let my headphones die completely before I charge them. And part of that is because number one, I forget to put it on the charger. And then number two is because like, well, it needs to die all the way so that I can like appropriately charge the battery. Olivia: You act like there's like, charging ethics, that you're like, somehow following them. Andrea: Exactly, am I the only person that has these charging ethics? Where did this come Olivia: I don't know. I don't think it's completely abnormal, because I'm sure there's other people that do that. I just don't do that. I mean, I do that a little bit. I don't let things die, but I don't like to leave things plugged in. So I have like 25, like 40 % of that, maybe. But not to that level. Andrea: Please somebody out there tell me that I'm not alone. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, I get a new thing and I'm like, I can't, has to die all the way. Olivia: The phone thing, I could not get behind the phone thing. It could go in like power save mode. I'll let it get to that, but I wouldn't let it die. Andrea: Yeah, sometimes it makes me curious. Yeah, since they've like updated and have like power save mode and like battery optimization, I've gotten, I've let that one go a lot easier, but it creates some level of anxiety within me where I'm like, if I get this new thing, I have to use it until it dies, then I can charge it for the first time. And then I can only charge it until it hits a hundred percent. And then I have to take it off the charger and use it till it dies again. And then I can charge it. Olivia: autism. Andrea: The one thing that I don't feel this way about, which is weird, is my camera gear. Because in my head, my camera gear is meant to do that. Like... Olivia: Meant to do what? Andrea: be left on the charger. See? is wrong with me? Olivia: What in the hell is wrong? That makes no sense. Andrea: This is, these are the things that happen in my head, dude. Olivia: What happens if you didn't do those things? Andrea: didn't have those thoughts or didn't do the things. Olivia: No, just like desensitized yourself to them. Andrea: I want the batteries to stop working. Olivia: Has your camera stuff stopped working? points are making themselves. Andrea: But like, my Apple Watch dies really fast. I can't have my Apple Watch on all day. That's why I don't wear it anymore. And what if that's because I just left it on the charger too long all the time? Olivia: No, smartwatches just suck. Like all of them have to be recharged at the end of the day. They suck. Their battery life is terrible. Andrea: Yeah, I wear it to the gym and then it's dead. Olivia: Yeah, it's dumb. That's why I don't, I used to have a smartwatch, but I don't wear them anymore, because they just like drove me insane. Andrea: And my like computer cord where it plugs into my computer, like getting dark on that part. And I'm like, what if I'm burning energy? What if I'm burning the cord because I have it plugged in too long? Olivia: Could be, your whole house could go up into flames. Andrea: Yeah. I'm really exposing my crazy today. Olivia: Yeah, we got told a couple months ago that our, like, circuit breaker's, not up to code. And we didn't know. Andrea: Mm. Olivia: And we're like, Andrea: because you're leaving too many things charged. Olivia: it gets worse. So ⁓ like, okay, well, like, what would it take to get it up to code? Well, you know, an exorbitant amount of money. ⁓ then also the company has to come out, turn off our power for the entire day, so that the electrician ⁓ can get things up to code. And I'm like, okay, not happen. Andrea: Yeah. Olivia: I don't have that kind of money and like a whole day without power like means we have to like completely uproot our life and like the fridge would have to be empty and like the free like it like that's Awful ⁓ if it was a free service, I'd be like, okay, but like it's not great But the reason why it gets spicy is that we have an electric car Andrea: ⁓ it'd be nuts. Yeah, that's insane. Mmm. Olivia: and we keep the electric car in the garage. And I don't know if you know this, but if an electric car catches fire, it's really freaking bad. And it lives right next to the circuit breaker. That's not up to code. So, know, we're living on the edge here. Just charging batteries, ⁓ cars. Andrea: Well, I'm gonna bring battery packs when I come visit you in a couple weeks. I shall not be plugging anything into your house. ⁓ Olivia: I mean, you would have anyways. It's okay, you'll be separate from the house, you're in a different circuit. Andrea: ⁓ yes. Olivia: Technically that circuit is up to code because this, yes, we built it later. literally took up the last, like the circuit breaker is like full. There is like, cannot add a single other thing. Like the last part that was free on our circuit breaker is to where I'm at right now. So this is fine. This is great. This is so coded, easy. Andrea: is you built it later, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. That's hilarious. Like, we're just gonna go live in this unit, you know? Just charge everything in there. Olivia: Yeah, it's fine. Whatever. Andrea: I don't trust any outlets at your house anymore. Olivia: I mean, knew it. I mean, I never trusted outlets before because our electrical is super weird. Like anytime we'd have to like reset the breaker, like replace a light or, whatever, be like, ⁓ it's, we'd have to go out and like, none of it's labeled correctly. I'm sure that's how most people circuit breakers are. I would imagine like it's not labeled super well. Anyways, you like flip all these switches, you find it you're like, okay, so I'm replacing the light in the bathroom, but this line also does all these other things in this house. Andrea: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Olivia: What? Like that doesn't make any sense. There's also light switches that like don't go to anything. don't know. It's like, okay, cool. There's literally a light switch in my daughter's room. There's no overhead light at all. There's just a light switch. Nobody knows what it goes to. There's no light in there. Andrea: I mean, I'm assuming you've already checked all the outlets too. It's not tied to an outlet. That's so weird. Olivia: ⁓ yeah, ⁓ yeah, we've checked all the outlets. We've checked all the outlets in the other rooms because the electrical is so weird. No, nothing, just a switch for funs. Andrea: Right. Okay. Electricity. Olivia: That's weird. Andrea: Yeah, I need to go to therapy. Olivia: So if anyone wants to come fix my circuit breaker for free and get up to go. Andrea: Maybe LJ has some hookups. He used to work in electrical sales for residential, so... Olivia: Maybe. I mean, we were also looking down the barrel of having to potentially replace our ⁓ heat pump because we have air conditioning a couple weeks ago. Did I tell you this story? Andrea: ⁓ my God. You told me something about your washer going out. Olivia: ⁓ yeah, that's fixed. That was rough. important. Having a washer? Real Anyways, the washer's been fixed. ⁓ So done. So ⁓ one we were out on our way home. We had babysitter for our daughter. We get an alert and it's like, hey, really weird. Your thermostat is set to air condition. ⁓ And over the few hours, the like... degree like the temperature of the house is raised like 12 degrees even though your air conditioner is on and we're like We're like me like that's really weird. We're like we're a couple minutes away from home. I Opened door I The has never been so hot in my life. It was like stepping into a it was like 87 degrees in the house ⁓ it was heat like all events were ⁓ Andrea: That's a lot. ⁓ no. Olivia: Pumping heat and it was said it was air conditioning and like trying to cool the house And I'm like, Andrea: That's horrifying. Oh no. Olivia: I'm not an expert. this isn't quite working. And our babysitter was like, I just thought you guys liked it warm. I'm like, I realize that you thought we liked to live on the surface of the sun. No, we don't like this warm. Then my daughter comes out who was supposed to be asleep sweating, just dripping. And I'm like, Andrea: my gosh. Oh, just dripping. Oh no. Olivia: Okay, so we like open up all the windows like all like had to shut it off all this stuff somebody comes out and they're like well Could be the heat pump or it could be the thermostat or like how much is it to replace the heat pump? like oh, it was like fourteen thousand dollars. I'm like, oh great How much is it to replace the thermostat? Well, you just go pick one up at Lowe's and just replace it It's like, you know, 80 bucks. Whatever we're like, I think we're gonna try changing the thermostat and see if that works Thank God it worked. The new thermostat worked and I was like, is a God because the guy was also like, hey, like your heat pump is like eight, nine years old. They usually last about like 10 years. So it probably, you'll probably have to replace it. And I was like. ⁓ Andrea: ⁓ my- You're like, I'm gonna start putting my pennies aside and I'm gonna start selling feet pics. Olivia: Yeah, I was like, me on the street, ⁓ like... ⁓ like, ⁓ what is... Yeah, like, milf for duty, because like, things gotta get paid. I was like, what? Andrea: We're going to that bikini barista and I'm applying for a side gig. Like... Go, coffee, here I come. Home ownership is wild. Olivia: Yeah, yeah, that was also, I think the same day that that happened, my daughter's leg finally went through our deck. So there is like an official hole in our deck. like, well, it is, ⁓ is, ⁓ we were going to replace it, but it's really stupid expensive. So like, we're going to catch fire. Our deck is broken, but we have air conditioning, ⁓ ⁓ fine. Andrea: Your deck is rough. Yeah. So a personal fan and solar powered battery packs when staying at Olivia's house because... Olivia: I know it seems rough. When I talk about, like we're cursed, like our house is cursed and I love our house and I will continue to deal with this curse. But like everyone, it's like the joke. Everyone that knows me is like the joke of like what is broken in your house that doesn't make sense that it's broken. I get it, it's funny. I get it. But sometimes when I talk about it, like, I swear probably people think I live in the ghetto. I'm like, we have a nice house. It's not bad. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Olivia: Like it's a nice house, like we take care of it, like we've invested in it, but like it's cursed. It's cursed. And that's okay. It just, it is. Andrea: Yeah. Yeah. You're just cursed. Sometimes we just gotta live with curses. Like my battery charging paranoia. Maybe that's a curse. Olivia: It would be a curse if kept killing batteries. You're not, though. Andrea: Maybe I am. Maybe I am. Olivia: How could you be killing them with how you take care of them? Andrea: Because my phone always gets hot. See, battery power. Olivia: You live in Arizona! is hot there! And? Andrea: I it here. Olivia: Don't worry, you're gonna move soon. Andrea: Yes, life update. We are moving soon. We don't know when and where, but by the end of the year, we will be out of Arizona. Olivia: It's impending. Yay! Andrea: Thank goodness. And luckily, luckily the start of this summer has not been bad. It hasn't hit 105 days, which is good. And it's not supposed to hit 100 for the next week. It's not supposed to even get close, which is wild for this time of year because March real freaked us out with the hundred degree week that we had randomly in March. yeah, it's like fine. Olivia: Yeah, well... Wow. Andrea: weird. Olivia: Yeah, going into June? Wild. Andrea: Yeah, my husband yesterday was like, Arizona's trying to get us to stay. It's like, we're gonna have a good summer so that you like actually miss us. It's like, nope, I'm not gonna get, don't gaslight me, Arizona.
