January 15 (Wednesday) update

Today we continued our quarantine in the hotel, thanks to several sets of friends who brought food, watched out cats, and cared for Autumn so we don't infect her. Laura's family helped to prepare the place we are going to move into, and without any further illness or symptoms (fingers crossed), we plan to be in tomorrow night. We and Laura's mom made a number of calls to track down mementos that might be replaceable and some practical items like medications and air purifiers that will be needing in the coming months. 

We'll be reunited with the cats tomorrow, after they have been well cared for by our friends. Autumn's daycare seems mostly intact based on a drive-by from Laura's dad, and they intend to get it professionally evaluated by a restoration company as part of the cleanup. Autumn is missing us, and we're missing her, and look forward to reuniting tomorrow.
