I just want to make it thru hurricane season unscathed. My car is STILL awaiting repairs from Helene and my son’s car was flattened by Milton, followed by our rental house (seven years) being sold out from under us and a chaotic move to an inadequate place because it’s the only halfway affordable place we could find in the last minute. I’m going to have full-blown PTSD if we have to go through another storm like that here on Florida’s left coast.

Eyes on November 30th. *fingers crossed*
