I promise that everything only looks like a last-minute decision; I'm just never sure if things will actually come together until ... the very last minute.

The cats and I are moving up to the house! It was driving me crazy to work on it only a few hours each weekend (and it meant that our progress was, unsurprisingly, slow). Moving up with just the bare necessities (me-bed, cat-beds, something to sit on) means that I can tackle cleaning, painting, floor polishing, etc. while the house is still largely empty. Devon will handle moving the furniture in a few weeks, and will join me by the end of the month.

I will have internet, but minimally (via a phone plan). I pre-loaded, oh, a million books and podcasts and Netflix shows. I've always liked brief periods of inconvenience, like the days before the internet gets put in or a snow storm knocking out power. I'm a little less excited about not having AC, in summer, while living alone, while doing new-to-me house things, but! I believe in myself, and the truth is that anything I can get done will be a faster timeline than we have been getting things done, so the bar is low.

I did so much pre-packing of media/linens/etc,, but the last 48 hours before moving people and animals turns out to be ridiculously busy despite that; amazing how many objects feel like invisible parts of daily life but are, in fact, physical goods that need to be transported.

Because of my limited internet access, I expect I'll be more absent than usual in the the coming weeks. See y'all on the flip side, I suppose!
