Well, the expected bad news came a day early.

Lots of work to do now, to figure out how to go forward. I've been bailing and bailing for years now - but that's common for many of us, eh?

Tough and confusing times for the world.

The rest of today is for making a list of everything I need to organize for what comes next.

And even though I'm okay mentally right now?

No skimping on prep to make sure it stays that way.

Stay shiny and chrome out there, folks. We can and do survive *such* things.
