I just wanted to tell you I am so sorry you are going through this! 55 isn't old at all and I do understand how hard it is to find a good job at this age.
My husband is now 60 and wishes he could change his jobs but it would be impossible for him to find one at anywhere near the the money he is making now, so he will just have to stay.
I know you will find something soon cause it really does seem to be easier for wonen to find something great!!
I will pray for you that it is an easy journey for you.
Take a little time for yourself and do some quilting and have some fun!
Blessings to you,
Candi
