I'm not losing a horrendous amount of income with the (possibly permanent, but who knows) furlough because I don't honestly work that many hours, but I find myself dismayed to be jobless. I didn't think my identity was wrapped up in my job, but it gave me a foothold in being a contributing member of society. And now that our sick, 'needing food and medicine several times a day' cat has died, even more of my reasons for staying at home are chipped away. So I'm unsettled. I'll figure out a new routine, but golly there have been a lot of blows to my psyche this week.

(Sorry, this probably should have gone in my journal. I'm really glad you're finding good things in these changes!)
