Good evening!

I've only got a few moments before Jess starts working, so I'll just give you a brief update.

I put in my claim for unemployment, and with luck, I'll be granted compensation through that. I'm working part-time with my friend Tim doing home renovations...basically labor/construction work. The pays not much, but it's something. Meanwhile, Jess is picking up a lot of extra shifts, bless her heart. She didn't deserve for this to happen, and I'm constantly ashamed of myself for putting us into this bind.

Resumes were being sent out as early as last night, and I heard back from a former associate of mine who owns a Graphic Design firm, who told me that we'd talk next week, and that "we may be able to help each other out." So, we'll see where that goes.

So, with Jess working OT, with me doing some construction work, and if Unemployment goes through, we just may come out of this ok until I can find something full-time. The only thing that'll sink us is if Unemployment doesn't go through...then, well...we're royally screwed and I'll have to sell at least one of my kidneys on the black market.

Jess and I slept only about 2 hours last night. We just got this place, you know? It would be the worst thing to have to move again, especially back to the condo, and double especially since all of this is my fault. She and I have been through a lot in the years we've been together, and with God's help, and your prayers, we'll make it through. One way or another, we'll make it through.

I'll pray for you... hope the unemployment comes through. Maybe there's a reason for this... I'll pray you find something new, soon.

We will still be praying. I am glad to hear that at least you have something to do now. I was concerned about the new house and wondered what the situation would be. Will certainly be thinking and praying.
