...Not really sure what the weather has to do with anything? I like my dad, but he's 61 and living with him is kind of making me be 61 as well. And this town is just awful. There are no jobs here, and hopeless public transport makes it almost impossible to leave. My specific part of the town is the worst. I live in a suburb where there is nothing but houses for literally a mile in every direction. I also have an ongoing foot issue which prevent me from walking a long distance. I effectively have no freedom and there is nothing in my life whatsoever apart from what I can do in my room; ie. internet, reading, vainly applying for jobs and funding for postgraduate study. I feel like I'm trapped here wasting my life and I don't know how I'm going to get out.

 Nothing but houses for a whole mile?Not to make light of your situation Blueflare, I know it must be very hard living without transportation. I would never be able to do it. Because suburbs are, like, the only thing most middle-class Americans even know--and they're frequently a lot bigger than a 2-mile diameter. |

They're not really more affordable, they're just a higher priority.

Have you thought about getting prescription goggles?

You can't wear goggles for lifeguard training, that's the problem.

I can see OK without the lenses -certainly well enough to rescue people, not well enough to drive, but they do help protect my eyes from the chlorine. No more, though. I lost one the first time I truly opened my eyes underwater and the second the second. astigmatism lenses are not cheap.
