Thank you folks so much. I don't even know if I have mentioned that my H has been out of work since October. he has been bidding on jobs but in the past he has always landed great projects because of his reputation in the industry.....word of mouth...no advertising. Obviously a different economy these last few years. At the start of this year, he took over the office from me. it was a relief but honestly there is no work so not such a big deal as far as added workload for him.

He has an interesting possible work connection/job offer that he is meeting about tomorrow. He mentioned that "since our kids are grown......he can take a job that might involve travel". I guess we have to do what we have to do to get by......but it was interesting that he didn't ask my opinion on the matter. I know.....I know....

Meanwhile......while making an eighth of his usual salary....for the last 8 months...he is helping ow with her house....for free. Do you see why I go crazy thinking about this?

maybe time spent on her project could have been spent dusting off a resume?
