Thank you to everybody who's sent sympathy about the job loss. We really appreciate it.

House lady will be here in about two hours to sign the papers. We're going to buy the house anyway.

I'm much loved at work, so much so that they're keeping me in a job until the end of July. I'm confident that I'll be able to find something decent within two months. If I only find a middling job we have options - there is a lot of fat in our current budget. High speed Internet, cable with all the trimmings, private school for the little guys, stay at home Mom for the little guys. There's actually enough fat for us to get by just fine with me on unemployment. In short, it's not an absolute requirement that I be the single bread winner with a big salary. That's the ideal situation, but it's not the only possibility. It might be a bit risky to go ahead with the house purchase but it's only a little risk.

Also, if worse comes to worse, it's way harder to kick a family out of a house than it is to evict them from an apartment.
