GB, I'm so sorry to hear the disappointing news about losing your job!

But I like to see you drawing the positives out of the situation. It's so good your H could respond as he did. It shows how much he really cares for you deeply. Just think, there are so many negative ways he could chosen to respond, but he didn't!

Sounds like the little break helping someone else is a good idea. Maybe some ideas of what you could do will come up while you do a mundane task such as painting.

Is working from home a possibility or interest of yours?
