At home.
Officially jobless.
R is "grounded" due to medical treatments assigned by the doc that would make school difficult today.

I agree. I think it's better to be out of there now. I think the climate would have been HORRID had I stayed. I can feed my kids. My roof is secure.

And I saw it coming. My resume is updated. I just need someone to need me...
