I love this woman so much. (Image description: your humble correspondent and her girlfriend making faces for the camera. Kat’s Mug o’ Wine (tm @chrisalyst ) is just visible at the bottom of the frame.) #selfie #mouseloveskat (at Gainesville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeybkspt5o/?igshid=1rh2occoq4icr

This is what I’ve been waiting for. (Image description: Screenshot from the @americanair app, showing the information for the first leg of my flight and declaring that boarding begins in 21 hours and 26 minutes.) TOMORROW. #mouseloveskat https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOAh-VJ0zk/?igshid=1615edwbr1gjr

And so it begins. #mouseloveskat #harveymilkterminal1 (at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQHfUEpNKT/?igshid=1g9sj8brxm7s9

Sent a note to our @airbnb host last night to make sure everything was still on from her end. “The woman I’m dating lives in Berkeley,” she noted in her reply. “Maybe she can hide in your suitcase.” 42 days. And yes, I will know where my towel is when I go. #mouseloveskat #hhgttg #ldrproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kd3XipHj4/?igshid=1slm6xn4j6gyq

I’m sure we would all be perfectly content NOT to see or hear this number for a while... (image description: digital art of the number 19 with an openwork leaf pattern cut into it. Light is shining across the numbers, reflecting with a brassy, almost fiery glow.) 19 days. #mouseloveskat #arewethereyet https://www.instagram.com/p/CAfrzrSHvGx/?igshid=1gj0gtigofqh7

Of course we had to come here in our (matching, ‘cause we’re dorks like that) @planetbooty shirts. #mouseloveskat (at Sweet Buns Bakery 尚品西饼) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeRA0Jp7dA/?igshid=3twe50ryjjqi

I considered using Patrick McGoohan’s penny-farthing badge today, then realized any Prisoner jokes I might make would have been in phenomenally poor taste in the current atmosphere. (Image description: a cobalt blue 6 with red white and blue stars cascading through the center.) 6 days. #mouseloveskat https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBLzgDp3Du/?igshid=p64kf8cb5gau

These last few posts in the countdown are probably going to get less and less coherent. (Image description: the number 18 in an Art Deco reminiscent font on a sky blue background, with “DAYS TO GO” beneath it in much smaller type on a white background.) 18 days. #mouseloveskat #almostthere https://www.instagram.com/p/CAiRFfKHkd_/?igshid=bha6b4c1sc4i
