Your sweet Brandi will prob. adjust pretty quickly. Please Don't feel guilty over something you Did Not choose to do. Like you said, at least you still have a job. I like your attitude of looking for the blessings, I try to do that too.

Very well said! It's the same in the UK too, we're all tightening our belts like crazy. Thank goodness you have a job to enable you to do all you can. Oh I do wish we could explain to them - and that they could fully understand! Sally + Harry x
