i love when i have to repost this:

Current thinking; rent a storage unit here for our furniture, take a few odds and ends and go hide in Tampa, quite possibly until April. I can be earning easy money moving numbers around for 3 months, winter will pass; though I am kind of worried about what this will do to M's employability - on the other hand he'd have time to line up a Boston job before moving. (We have also discussed the fact that Boston clearly doesn't want us and are reconsidering Pittsburgh, because Oakland really is beautiful and I do know one lovely person there, and was chatting to her yesterday morning. We are still really wanting to go live near T&C and all their friends though). This will even make it easier to go see Z in Feb, as we can just leave the dogs down there with no drama. (Although we would definitely see about fixing up Precious's favourite gap in Dee's garden fence.)

I need to pack, and by 'pack' I mean 'finish the stupid shortfic that stress squeezed out of my head last night.'
