Thanks for the support. I was able to turn the day around. Hung out with my happy neighbors on their deck for a while, watching football with them. Took the dog for a long walk on a nature trail. Then helped a friend move some furniture. Mood is better.

Also, W seemed on the verge of a breakdown as she’s scrambling to get herself moved in. I don’t wish ill will on her, but I do expect her stress problems to continue. It honestly felt good to feel calm while was freaking out. I’m at least somewhat detached because I felt zero urge to do anything to help her, aside from doing a couple things for S1.
