Too bad we can't convene in upstate NY in the near future. My D21 goes to school in wayyyy upstate NY and she's a senior. So I'm traveling. A lot.
This will be quick because I'm in a hornet's nest this morning as well. I don't especially appreciate starting my week off this way, but it's certainly providing an adrenaline rush.

Not really loving this additional source of stress right now.......
FWIW, I seem to attract a lot of change at once. It used to make me crazy, and I used to attempted to control it (the big problem to fix in therapy at the time--I look back and see it was like playing whack a mole at a carnival--you never win), but somewhere along this journey I realized that apparently, when I need to make changes, I need to make lots of them. While it's stressful, I will say that it does change my outlook on things, and I usually wind up thinking, "wish I made this change sooner". Though losing people to death is something I think you and I would definitely renegotiate, and nothing makes me feel better about losing people I love.
You've got your sh!t together, and you're a smart cookie. Somehow, I know you'll traverse this change with aplomb and wind up more successful than you can imagine.
Hugs, Betsey
