I knew it.
So I asked my boss outright and he told me that, yes, there is a distinct possibility that, because of cut-backs, I could lose my job in the next month. He's not sure yet, but I offered this compromise today: I could work part-time, 9-1 every day, and give up my benefits. That would be enough for me to pay my bills, and then starting in June I could teach piano in the afternoons to make a little extra each month. Sounds like a good plan to me. We'll see if the big dogs bite.

My mouth pain is slowly subsiding, but I just ate some crackers and now I'm hurting again. Time for some more Advil...
