I'm really hoping he gets one of the jobs! He has no cell phone service because he is too far north, but he does have a slow internet connection so we talked a little last night. He hooked up his webcam to show me his new place

It's a tiny room with a bed, a desk, and a dresser. We talked about his interviews, and I guess the first place wanted a dollar figure for what he was expecting as a salary. I know you should never give a dollar figure, and if insisting you should just say "I make this much now, and would like at least that much to switch jobs" or something. Anyways, he did give a dollar amount... just slightly more than my current salary (he makes just a little less than me now) and they were like "That is WAY too high!" So that makes me wonder if I'm going to be able to leave this job without taking a big cut in pay

The second place asked for references though, so it might be promising!
Layla is doing much better with her potty training! We're getting on a schedule... as soon as I wake up I pick her up and take her straight outside (she's a lazy bum and won't get up in the morning, I have to pick her up from her sleeping position!). When she pees, she gets to come in. Usually she'll go back out before I leave for work. Same thing happens as soon as I get home at lunch and right after work. Then she'll go out a few times in the evening. She RARELY uses her inside pad except for overnight. We put up the baby gate so she's stuck in the back of the condo at night, with the bedroom, laundry room, and bathroom open to her (she lays on the bathroom floor when she's too hot). She had a few accidents in the same spot of the hallway, so we have just put down cardboard over the carpet and she won't pee on it. Eventually we'll take the cardboard away and slowly train her not to go there. We have been spending way more time in the "reading room" so she's not peeing in there at all anymore!
