Thank you to everyone who answered my questions - 4 months and counting

I wanted to thank the people who gave me practical advice. Two tips made a real difference: keeping a log and asking for help early.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

If you feel up to it, answering a new question is a great way to pay it forward.
