Hi--I have lived in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, NYC suburb of Rockland Co., Albuquerque, Las Vegas, 4 towns in CA and now here in Florida. Moving is Hard--even when you want to go. Most of these moves were not my choice but I always found friends in each place. (As a result, I spend lots of time on the phone or Zoom.) But this is it for me. Palm trees everywhere I look, kind people, lovely beaches (I live on the east coast in Melbourne), amazing birds and plants and I can see rocket launches from my upstairs office window. Yes, the humidity sometimes sucks, but there is always something that isn't perfect and humidity is a small price to pay to live where I like it so much. Figure out what you like the least, humidity, snow, dopey populace, wind, etc. then choose from one of the other places. If you ever come to Florida, let me know. I know lots of good places to eat and it's only 20 minutes to the
Good point! MA is even more civilized, though, and I loathe palm trees, relentless glare and freeways. But one shattered hip from a slip on the ice and it's all over, so I'm listening, you're right; I'll stay. At least for a while.
Beribboned glass vases of rose-scented Epsom salts in every room--Gosh, I wouldn't have known that was a clue either. I'm hoping wherever you land, or if you stay, flattened out right where you are, you'll find some moments of gentleness with yourself. There is no rush.
Emotional support dachshund?
Cross country train ride via Pullman?
New Orleans in the winter.
Dachshund is the best idea yet! Now if I stay here I'll have to find a ground-floor apt. that allows dogs. Impossible but a good dream.

Warmth should (pardon the expression) trump any plan to move away from the west. Freedom still feels like it has a chance here.
