Staying Home, Week 1

I’ve been furloughed for a week now, and I’m doing okay. I’m cognizant of how very lucky I am–I’m furloughed, not laid off or let go. I qualify for unemployment, and I have a computer and internet to get that ball rolling (now if they could toss that ball back to me, with moneyโ€ฆ) I […]
