Thank you to all those who wished me their best during the hurricane. It must have worked because I fared very well through it all with minimal damage. Some emotional damage, yes–ever try to break up with someone during a hurricane? Oodles of fun for everyone!

I spent all of tonight writing so you can start catching up on the many events that happened during the last week, starting with hurricane here and aftermath here. More to follow–
