Just because I think it will amuse me, I will write only until midnight. In the event that I haven't finished my current line of thought, I'll keep you in suspense over it till tomorrow morning. Mua-hahaha!

D. got sent home early today. When he called at 10:30, I went straight into "Oh shit" mode, and stayed there until he was in the car explaining the situation to me. His supervisor said he looked pale, and since they were a little short on work today anyway, asked him if he wanted to go home. So, now I'm in some sort of low-level "Oh shit standby" mode. They are indeed running out of things for him to do. This sucks.

I think where I am right now is that Chicago terrifies me, but ending up in Cowtown forever terrifies me more. At least, that's what I'm trying to convince myself I believe.

If he does get full-blown laid off, I really think the smartest plan is to go to Cowtown ASAP. I really don't know if that's a good thing or not. The $$ in savings plus his last check plus my last check would equal about $1000. It would be insane to attempt Chicago on that. It might be equally insane for him to be out of work all summer, hoping they find something for him to do. We proved last summer we could live on just my checks, but it's not pleasant. Living on my paychecks for 2 months would mean we still ended up in Cowtown, but with possibly less money. Or, maybe they'll have a whole bunch of work next week, and I'm worrying over nothing. That happens sometimes.

It's funny. Even with this time limit, I'm going back to correct
