Gratitudes:
1. For having been able to work from home (aka where ever I've been staying) instead of having to drive into the office,  Makes saving money when there's no income easier.

2. For the cooler temps the last few days.

That's a lot of progress in a lot of areas. I'm so glad you've have that work and money to tide you over a little bit. I hope the company gets its act together, or something else happens good. Looks like the Lord is taking care of you still, though!
