That was my first thought upon waking this morning. That’s ten days until Moving Day, and I am manfully staving off a panic attack. What with the owie foot and the sudden (but much needed) work project, I haven’t packed a thing in four days. Fortunately, what I have left is quite manageable, as long [...]

I hope the rest of you are enjoying a nice crisp fall. I’ve just spent 45 minutes in the already-sweltering heat and humidity making three trips to the dumpster. At 8:18 in the morning, it’s already 81F and the humidity is 96%. We’ve shattered 3 heat records this week, and this October may go down [...]
