So I'm in the middle of moving from a nice Midwest city to my parents' house in the mountains, because the world hates women who want to live on their own and my folks are getting on in years and bought way more house than they should have. And I have had *an exceptionally bad year* and need to recoup.
And I suppose I mention this -- a bit of #introduction? -- just to give context to my ongoing narrative here. It's something I'll be talking about.
