Hess, it might be possible for me to get the place ready sooner, but I am kinda decrepit too. But it sounds like the tooth thing is important enough to stay there for, for now. Can you get that appointment sooner and leave sooner, and I'll get going as fast as I can?

In the meantime... don't spend a lot of time at home. Hang out in libraries where they have a good air system, and so forth....

And a word to folks encouraging Hess to protect her rights about this, with the landlady... I have a feeling she needs her strength to make this change, more than she needs to win one right now-- even though she is clearly right.
