"Reader, I would rather have had all my toes amputated." You never fail to crack me up. I know these carpets! And, oh, that tub cleaning is an act of pure love. Congratulations on this milestone! You are amazing! I'm in the middle of The God of the Woods--so good! We must discuss when we finish! xx

That was incredible. I felt like I was right there. Brilliant assessment of the parents' side of the college college. A lot of driving and Target visits!

p.s. The "moving-in" help continues on to apartments and then first-homes! Lots more tubs to clean!
