I’m not profligate with my categories (nor with my posts). So when I see that I have 22 posts in the category “Leaving this place”, I know that I’ve been leaving more than I’ve been staying these last few years.

All that is well and nice, but you never mentioned *whence* you are moving (or did I miss it)? That would be a way to alleviate the repetitiveness: replace your “Leaving this place” by “Moving to this place” :-)
Keep still, will you? I can’t keep up.
And what Dave said – wherever next?
