LOL - writing this did not calm your nerves - but it made me feel better, so there's that.
Love the part where you don't have to spell out your last name. In this "nowhweresville" of a town, you are KNOWN and your people are REMEMBERED. Say what you will about NYC, Manhattan, wherever: there's something profoundly reassuring about having roots, even in small, unknown places.

GOOD LUCK in these final days (day!) - I'm thinking of you, and marveling at how you still manage to post!
