While I'm sure there's been a lot of newsworthy ups and downs that I could put down here, I just sort of wanted to clear the old journal I had there and say that things are finally looking like they are on the mend. Work has begun to make my house livable once more, and with all the work to clean and replace much of it, it should almost seem like a new home when it's done.

From May 3rd to now I have spent no more than an hour or so at my home at a time, checking in past a security checkpoint just to try and maintain it. I look forward to being able to return to some sense or normality when I can move back in.
