Thanks CarrieAnn!!!
God Bless you and good luck too!
I think I had a nice interview and they said they'd let me know in a few days...
I also got a very very late back support check from my ex in the mail today! That will help in this transition phase!
Have a nice evening :)

Go by when you are hungry.... Try not to overplan this in some abstract way.. As long as you stick to three meals "whenever" you will do fine!
Maybe even two will be okay, though I'm not so sure about that as a lifestyle...
Good luck for today!
