First paycheck after the layoff - 8 months and counting

I paid off a bill that had been weighing on me. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I called the lender and they worked with me. Hoping it is the start of a better run.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
