Good luck. Even if this is just a fire drill, we both know that there will be some day where it isn't a drill.
I agree with the frustrations on people not planning ahead at all. Intellectually, I know that lots of people have this superstition that talking about things will make them happen, but really? How does being unprepared and then having to scramble to make things work -- if you can -- seem like a better way to live? I'm so glad that we finally convinced Mark's parents to move out of their house last year. It would have been better to have done it several years ago, but at least we managed before a crisis.
