Dh got called back to work!
Yay! He got to work yesterday and today and is supposed to work this weekend. Ds is also getting to work but with another company and I just found out they are working on the same job, lol. Ds is learning to do low-voltage electrical installation. He is learning to install burglar alarms, phone, cable, surround sound stereo systems and in-the-wall vacumn systems. He's learning fast! Yay!
Dh was the 1st one to be called back to the job. This is with the guy he worked 1 1/2 weeks for a few weeks ago but had worked for him over a year ago also and was with them for over 2 years. He is supposed to be going out of town to work for a week soon also so looks like there is some steady work ahead!

Oh I do hope things are going to be steady and thank you for your encouraging words. Dh could make twice as much working than he does on unemployment so this could mean getting that EF started and starting to pay on some medical bills that have just been ignored since he got laid off the first time in the fall. But, we are caught up on our medical bills and my social security check will cover the house payment so we're doing ok with those. I can't even go see my medical doctor because I owe her $120.00! It's frightening for me since I have so much wrong with me so I'm praying that he atleast gets to work long enough for he and I to go to the doctors soon.
