Over the past several weeks I have been trying to decide if I want to move back to my hometown or stay here in the city I've called home for the past 8 years. I am at the point where I think I want to move back home. I keep weighing the pros and cons and each time, moving seems to win out. The one thing that makes me hesitate is that I feel like moving will be the equivalent of giving up on my M. But I am becoming more at peace with that each day.

There are a lot of logistical things to sort out before I move, so it won't likely be for a couple of months. I am flying out there this weekend for a couple of weeks - partly to scout things out, but mainly to relax with friends and family.

I am thinking about taking the cats with me and leaving them with my parents while I begin the process of moving. The airlines in Canada are changing the ways in which you can travel with pets starting next month so it will be much more difficult to fly them out at a later date.

I am just wondering if this is something I should run by W before I commit to it. She has agreed to let me have the cats but moving them without informing her seems sneaky. What do you guys think??
