My furlough is over!!!
My company is recalling me and daily work resumed yesterday. My savings are depleted and credit cards are maxed, but I did not have to touch my retirement or my daughters' college fund.
This will put the kibosh on discretionary spending for a good while, though....
Thanks to those who offered support as I was panicking.

So my daughter wants to participate in a BLM protest.... UPDATE
She'll be 18 next week. The protest in question is well-organized and will be peaceful. I still can't help bu be worried. Honestly, I'd do it with her if my back was up to it. But I can;t and she wants to go with a friend.
I'm going to let her, but it's a comment on where we are that I am really worried about it...
