Rumor has it that I'm to be moving to Salt Lake City the day after tomorrow. The story goes that right at this moment my darling brother, JAK! and my best girlfriend/Once and Future Roommate, Teaspoon are hurtling across Nevada somewhere in a little pickup driving hitherward to fetch me up and take me back again. So I'm told, anyway, but at this point it's all hearsay as far as I'm concerned. I can envision being back home, but I can't feature how I might possibly be going to get there or exactly when this might be happening or how long it will take to accomplish a feat so mythic and improbable-seeming.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Thus far I have been able to wrap my mind only around the concept Guests Are Coming, and have cleaned the bathroom accordingly. I know they'll probably be pretty done in from driving through the night, but I am looking hopefully forward to a post-nap whirlwind tour of Santa Cruz. I think my little broheim would like this town a lot, and have wished for a chance to show him a little slice of Where Sistron Has Been Living All This Time. So, guests are coming! That will be fun! And then, I believe I am to understand, we will attempt to cram the most vital/bulky of my (too-)many worldly possessions into the pickup and my Geo Prizm and drive it all to Utah, allegedly.
This is where it all gets a little fuzzy for me, because I can't (or just really really don't want to) visualize how we will manage with all of my crap; and because, despite all the packed boxes, everything else seems so completely normal, mostly. Earlier tonight I was sitting around with my boyfriend eating Indian takeout and watching TV; I washed the dishes and took out the recycling and now here I am at the computer. It's so much like every other day that it just doesn't seem plausible that I could be going anywhere at all ever. I'm going to require hard proof, and hard is exactly what this endeavor is going to be.
Consider me joining the ranks of those Missing The You. But BlogHer! It is soon! Huzzah!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that you are now linked to my blog! Hooray for modern tech.

Of course now that I get back online, you now appear to be taking a hiatus. We need to do sushi, and soon.
Much love, my darling!

You're going back! That means that maybe, just maybe I can finally meet you when I come home for a few weeks in August. Best of luck!

deer sweaty,
i am happy and relieved that you arrived safely.
even though i know that this was all voluntary, i still can't escape feeling as though this was like when someone has joined a cult and they have to be kidnapped and deprogrammed.
thanks to Tsp. and my Sunn! for the intervention.

I think now is the perfect time to be jealous that I too do not live in Utah. Drive (or you know, ride!) funly! (The made up word I used to respond to my mom's incessant "Drive safely!" over the years.)
