I really feel for you, Kristin. I got laid off last year (probably just as well, as the company was missing payrolls), and have been scraping along since then on unemployment, temp jobs and handouts from my parents. But Don Juan has been a real sweetheart through it all, with his big friendly greetings when I come in the door (even if I've only been out for an hour) and snuggling with me at night. So, I've been making sure that I always have a little package of salmon bagel spread on hand for his special treat, even if I'm surviving on spaghetti and tomato sauce.

Oh, well. As Mr. Micawber says, something will turn up!
