I'm alive and doing good! My lawyer, who rocks fucking hard, was able to settle out of court, and has arranged it so we can stay where we are until our lease is up end of April. meanwhile the housing market is slowly starting to improve, and we checked out a couple really nice houses in town. We haven't settled on anything yet, but I'm confident we'll close on something right around the time we leave the shit hole we're in now! Weeeeee!
