Currently, we're trying to figure out where to move to that will allow cats. Seregil is very important to us, especially Danae, and leaving him behind is not an option we're willing to explore. The housing available through the university does not allow cats. He's officially an emotional support animal now, though I don't know what laws in NL are like regarding such things.

So Danae is doing crazy-hard searching of housing listings and even trying to coordinate with potential housemates in Amsterdam. She posted on a Housing for Queers group in Amsterdam and found a few folks who might be interested. I'm a little worried, though, about being in a bigger, more expensive place with several housemates. If more than one flakes at once, we could be stuck with a huge rent bill or even end up homeless.

This is the single biggest point of stress for us right now, though there are many others. The second one is getting the condo here ready for listing. Erik was an *amazing* boyfriend and came over yesterday to help clean. Between us, we got the bathroom and kitchen looking pretty good, but there's so much left to do.

I have half a day off on Friday. I'm going to use it to drive some of my vintage hi-fi and other electronics to Wisconsin, where my parents have been kind enough to offer storage space. (And I offered to let my dad use my turntable and stuff!)

There's just so much. It all feels overwhelming from time to time.

Good news- I know it's easier than it once was the the advent of pet passports and microchips. The Dutch are big dog and cat folks so you should be able to find something.

It's been really hard so far! But we're trying.

I suggested that, if all else doesn't work before the condo sells, one of us go ahead early to find a place and the other can come after with Seregil. I could stay with my parents until then.
