Although I love listening to audiobooks when driving I have not seemed to manage to focus on any of the serial variety. On the list. Perhaps on the drive back to Florida.

Oh hi. I haven't been here forever, and you know, there are plenty of reasons. The major one is that in less than three weeks I'll be moving to a different continent (hello, Europe! Specifically, Belgium) to start an academic sabbatical and to work on an MSc in digital humanities, and that's a very big change. I'm both very excited and anxious and having a hard time imagining life in a place that isn't a hellmouth (though, you know, I love it here. It's insane, but it's home, and we can have a far nicer version of it).

I'm bringing the cat with me, which of course is now my number one concern: how the opinionated 16-year-old cat will survive the flight and all these hours in a carrier.

On the bright side, I'll now be a bit closer to y'all. And hopefully with some time to actually, umm, post here more (sorry about not really being here lately, but between war and life and planning a move, well, not much time left for other things).

That's it for the big life update. Love y'all, tons of ~ma of all kinds, and please pray for the cat to survive the move and the airport staff to whisk us through all inspections as fast as possible.

Hi Shir! How exciting!
