Thanks guys. My spirits are up right now but it is a bit of a roller coaster. I'm on leave from work (like I said, long story) and probably won't find anything out for about two - three more weeks. Unfortunately after this coming Monday that leave will be unpaid. Oh well, didn't need a new-to-me truck with that tax return anyway.
Thanks again. For someone who lives alone and has no real 'in real life' support network, this means the world.
