We are only seating complete parties, so if you just arrived, come on back after you've regrouped, starting with "Still Here!" and everyone is up to speed. The one and only interview I had lined up was the one and only resume I had tailored to the position. Yes, I realize they say you have… Continue reading The One Where Everything Changed
Before you continue the Saga on Third Street, make sure you read "Still Here!" to get caught up. Sitting at work, I received an email from our agent saying that our "covenants" (i.e., deed restrictions) did not allow RV parking. But she didn't think it would be a problem.

Remember when you were a kid, having to go to bed the night before an… Continue reading Insomnia, the Musical
Well, we still live in our house, but technically it's not ours anymore! We closed on the sale last Thursday, May 10, with a lease-back through May 31. It's comforting to have my girls stay in the same house through the end of the school year. Normalcy is very important to me, and I am… Continue reading From Owners to Tenants and the Long Goodbye
