Something I learned in the last 24 hours:
Always have a bag ready to go in case you, for some unforeseen reason, have to leave your home quickly.
I learned that life lesson last night. I don't know how to adequately describe the feeling of having everything you own on your back or in your hand...and maybe even in the trunk of your car. It's sad and quite depressing, to say the least. Nor do I know how to describe the feeling of wondering where you'll sleep for the night or the next week or month....
