Today, I confirmed that I have a subletter for my apartment. I’ve already packed my suitcase (which probably needs to be partially unpacked and lightened). Tomorrow I begin to put personal things in boxes to be stored away.
A new person will fill my current space and be my place-holder, paying the bills so that I have some place to land when I return.
In 8 days I will hand over the keys to my current life, and walk with my suitcase to the train, heading towards four and a half months of teaching, writing, reading, eating, engaging and disengaging in other cities. San Francisco, Idyllwild, Los Angeles, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Heidleburg, here I come.
