Hi @~Christina, I think your plan to look into the job program sounds interesting. Let us know if it's eventually helpful. I someday want (need) to work again, too. I also have around 12 years I'd need to explain.

I'm hoping your and Bizi's physical pain eases. Also that the heat eases up around the world. I've always hated hot weather, and like you, have medications that further exacerbate it all.

My husband found a potential house that excites me. He got an appointment to visit it at 10 am tomorrow, so we need to get up very early in order to drive there in time. Or, maybe we can stay at his sister's house (even though she's away). It's in the same village area as her house. That's a negative in Hubby's eyes, but not in mine and hers. It's only 45 mins outside Prague and in a hot area, in terms of location appeal. We may buy it to just renovate and flip. Or stay long-term. One part of the house is in a condition we could live in, albeit uncomfortably at first. Another part needs a very large amount of renovation. Unfortunately, this type of place is all we can afford, and barely. Also sadly, the economy made us lose oodles. At least real estate is a fairly good and safer investment.

My nephew is doing very poorly and is still inpatient getting more ECT. He calls my sister crying and wants to go home, but we all fear him getting out prematurely. He's expressed SIs. A possible repeat of my younger nephew's fate scares us all.
