Well, we all know the state of the economy right now is bleak. Everyone is affected by it in some way or another.
In our case, we were able to refinance our home for a way lower interest rate (well, we're in the process of doing that right now) so that's great. Of course, we're moving, but it will be great for the resale still. On the other hand, Danny is laid off, has been now for 5 weeks and that's not so great. Fortunately for him, he will go back to work when work picks up. He's not one of those laid off indefinately, which we're thankful for. But things are starting to get tight for us, financially. We've gone through this before and made it through and we will again, but this time its just so up in the air as to when he will get back to work. It makes it hard to find the silver lining when there is no light at the end of the tunnel quite yet (How many sayings can you use in one sentence?).
As I write this, Danny is working on not one, but possibly 2 side jobs for friends and sooner or later that unemployment check will make it to us and I'll breathe a little easier but it would be great if some kind of magic could work itself on our world and get things going again! So if we randomly show up at your house for dinner, don't be alarmed, we're just looking to cut corners!
That's all for now!
