Maximus,
I don't have much to say, except hang in there.
You're already doing that.
My dad, RIP, said that during the great depression he worked one day
and made 10 cents. He bought some popcorn.
They popped it, ate it and drank water that day.
He said he found a job the next day.
I will pray for you, and for all of us..
