This community helped me more than I expected - first time posting

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. Anyone want to swap notes?

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

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