Oh my, looks like DEFRA actually has some published guidance on this, since September.

Mr. C came home a while ago pretty late from another drinks after work night: sloshed, showing some worry, and talking about going ahead and getting the cats set up with EU pet passports just in case.

Guessing there was probably some more discussion that got him thinking about it more urgently tonight, but he also said tonight that this political mess has come up in every single one-on-one conversation he’s had pretty much since the referendum vote.

(The Mr. Calm Cool and Collected act kinda breaks down when he’s been drinking, that’s for sure. Sounded like he’s been a lot more worried about the somewhat near future than he’s been letting on normally, which is honestly not that much of a surprise knowing him.)

He also brought up not being sure how best to go about moving the fish. But, by golly, if anyone is urgently hauling ass for Sweden, everyone is going! He apparently felt like this was important to emphasize 😅

So yeah, while I’m pretty concerned about what might happen with this ongoing political clusterfuck, and how I might manage with some practical details as bad as my health situation has been? If he’s feeling a need to emphasize while disinhibited that Nobody In This Household Will Be Left Behind On His Watch, Dammit–explicitly extended to fish he really doesn’t take much interest in other than the fact that I care about them?

I am at least less concerned that he’s gotten quietly fed up with my bullshit to the point that he doesn’t want to live with it anymore.

(Which is totally a product of my own jerkbrain, and nothing to do with anything he has actually said or done. Just to be clear. I am a worrier, what can I say. Though both of us avoiding conflict past the point where it’s necessarily healthy–and for similar reasons AFAICT–doesn’t always help set my mind at ease. Maybe not his either.)
