Man, that's a lot to think about, Dana. Preemptive hair pats for the costs incurred either way.
But what do the talking sheep MEAN
I'm gonna say societal pressure to conform trying to be a voice in your head telling what to do
Jayne: 'Cause I don't know these folks. Don't much care to. Mal: They're whores. Jayne: I'm in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ann, that's a ferret.
Dana, I've never been to Idaho, but I do have a couple of thoughts:
How big is the difference in cost of living? Would the 15% increase in salary, plus or minus any changes in the cost of living, compensate for a possible decrease in your income?
Also, two hours from an airport may actually be pretty isolated. I grew up about two hours (by car) from O'Hare Airport, with a bus running regularly between the town and the airport. There were other, smaller airports with regular passenger service closer to home. Flying somewhere was a Very Big Deal, at least until I went to college. Now, I don't know how much of that feeling was distance, vs. economics, vs. family culture, vs. other factors that may not be coming to my mind right now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The cost of living is slightly less.
The increase in his salary would definitely not allow me to live as a woman of leisure, but I have no idea how long it would take to find a long-distance writing or editing job.
It's two hours from a major airport; the town does have its own airport, thankfully. It's pretty much the same situation we had when we lived in Washington State, where you have to make a connection to go anywhere. That irritated me. We would be in the Mountain time zone, though, so the time loss flying east wouldn't be as severe.

It's two hours from a major airport;
If it's one of the two towns I suspect, there are regular air shuttles to said major airport. Are you thinking of two hours at 55 mph or two hours at the usual 85-90 mph people drive on that stretch of freeway?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Checking the mileage, it's definitely not two hours at the speed limit. A shuttle wouldn't be too bad, though.

I'm sorry this is stressing you out, Dana. Does DH have any other job prospects at the moment?
Nice dream, Teppy!

Yeah, there are definitely other prospects. That almost makes it worse. If it was the only option, it might be easier to decide.
Anyway, I am no longer freaking out. Thanks, guys. It will all be fine. There's always internet.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Tonight I was visiting a friend who had surgery. Her daughter was out here to help and she was from Boise
It sonds to me like boise has a lot to offer . I think it is worth a serious look. M is a foodie, works for a nonprofit and has an airbadb. she moved this area and is happy. My friend E says she could move there but for one thing ( sorry Dana) - the chorus she saw was not good

I'm up with a very cranky, very snuffly ltc. Poor baby.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
When I lost Pachisi (from whose death Harvey has spent a lifetime trying to help me heal), I ached so much and so physically, I thought my heart would simply stop beating on its own.
Dana, I'm glad the freaking out has eased.
Poor ltc, poor sj. Having a cold is no fun. But work that immune system, kid.
