Good heavens, MollyM…..did they figure out what caused your ‘almost BugOut’??? Sounds as bad as our western wildfires…watching it approach and having one foot out the door with bag and baggage close to hand.
Glad to hear you’re still surviving your classes with all the challenge of not having a computer at home. And the arrival of a bounced around package….yike. That’s ridiculous!
As for ‘helpful’ folks who feel the need to point out our ‘clutter’ …or our propensity to keep everything….or some such, all from the vantage point of their MUCH larger homes — I get that!!! I have a dear friend…and she is a kind lady, but at times cannot find her way out of a box with any sensibility and 2-step logic. She’s teasing me but somehow canNOT compute that she owns likely 4X what I do. Cuz it disappears in an orderly manner into her house that is 6-8X the size of our very small house. Add to that our rodent factor – the need to contain things within rodent-proof buckets, metal boxes, etc. Until my cat died and we began to use poison…. being rural, we were overrun by mice [and one rat each fall in the garage area]. Ahem…… I’m not holding my breath but since laying poison in November….no rodents seen / no ‘evidence’ of their foul ways seen…..(giving a quiet, cautious YAAAAAHOOOOOO! ) 😉
Anyway….more of that snow challenge is falling. 🙁 ….still, it’s better than wildfire or rodents!!! \0/
