Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

About five or so years ago my family moved abroad, at the time I made the decision to not go with them because of where my life was at the time. I really regret that decision now. Tonight is my last night with them, I try and make annual trips around Christmas every year.

I suppose I am lucky as it is only a four hour flight home, but between getting to the airport, checking in then all the stuff you do on the other side to get home, tack on like another three or four hours onto that. Doesn’t seem so bad going, but feels like an eternity when coming back.

I think you are supposed to be excited to go back home, but I live in a bizarre world where everything for me is here, and I go back to a “home” where nothing or no one is waiting. It really sucks how much Brexit has complicated everything.

Oh well, I am sure in a couple of weeks when I am playing Fire Emblem Engage this sadness will feel like a distant memory, but I always realise just how lonely I am when I come towards the end of these annual trips and realise I need to leave everything behind to come home.

@Pizzamorg Here's a hug, long-distance family is tough, so is travel.

I'm gonna be logging off the forums for a while my WiFi is being tricky.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika wait your not

Thank you both.

I am still trying to figure everything out to be honest.

I’m not very close to my family who are still in the UK, but I did make a serious attempt last year to move closer to them and try and make up for lost years, but as anyone who lives in the UK knows, the country is a real mess right now and the move just ultimately was not affordable, so I had to scrap my plans.

It is ironically much cheaper to move abroad comparatively, but the number of hoops you now need to clear because of Brexit, it is almost too complicated for one person to resolve on their own. My understanding is the UK is in talks with Spain to create some kind of partnership to try and make this stuff easier, as Spain is also being impacted by how hard it is in a post Brexit world to get people in form the UK to do work during peak seasons where locals just aren’t quite enough.

I think I’m going to have to basically just knuckle down for a few more years and just put up with the lot I have for now. Hopefully either the UK will be in a better place, or moving abroad will be easier and I can find myself in a better situation.

I am also getting close to my year anniversary in my current job, so I feel like I’ve stuck around long enough to maybe at least start looking to see if I can find a job that is more accommodating to my life where ideally I want to spend at least a couple of months outside of the UK every year, even if I need to work the whole time, I just want to be with my family.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I want Shrek 5 now... But I'm scared he'll look realistic.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I can't wait for ALF: The Movie

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika in the comics right now, JOKER IS PREGNANT AND IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY.

I don't get DC anymore.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I can't see your comment again lol

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika @AntDickens it happened again.

Eagly's comments are not showing up for me and he hasn't ignored me. I can't see his two new ones. I still get the notifications though for his @'s

I CAN SEE THIS ONE!!! Very very very odd.

Sonic had a surgery today and they had to remove one of his fingers! He had a pretty large tumor on his front paw! He is now at home and he is pissed as hell!

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika ofc! He is just pissed that he can't count to 10 on his front paws anymore

Phew...
I'm almost finished the year 2 of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town PS4.
I keep working my butt to collect the items for Spirit Request that really really hard to get.
I want to get into Spring season so I can tame Brown Alpaca as I missed them from last year in the game. Getting Alpaca Wool+ was really hard, almost impossible to compare with other fur animals that I got some Plus products frequently than Alpaca Wool+.
Also, getting Rare crops for the final tasks of Spirit Request was really really hard as even 10 Stars seeds were not guaranteed to get rare crops. Almost everyday my daily activities was purchasing a lot of crops seeds to get the chance of rare crops.
I have to keep endure until I finished all the Spirit Request so I can get married and play more relax.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Still does not want to eat but the doctor said that this is normal because of the anesthesia.

Tomorrow he will be the same eating machine
