Lots of updating to do!!!
First off, just on the outside chance that anybody was concerned, Arazyr has been back to work, since about mid-September - a couple of weeks after I last posted. We're still doing a bit of catch-up on stuff, from that really lean period (let me tell you, a family of three and a half trying to live on one person's unemployment insurance only works as long as the family's financial reserves last), but things are definitely looking up.
