We'd already been considering a move in a few years when our youngest is in college and the pandemic is over. This morning I spent a lot of time cleaning and throwing things away to prepare for a move even sooner.

I'd love to emigrate to the UK or a Scandinavian country, but I know that's not remotely realistic. It will be somewhere in the US that is solidly blue.
I've battled for Democratic values to be restored in Florida for almost a quarter century now. I'm worn out. I don't know the exact date or where we'll end up, but we're definitely leaving the place where we raised our kids (they have no interest in returning here after university) and called home for half our lives. We won't look back.
