it’s me and the two cats

My housemates are out of town, so it's me and the two cats. I honestly felt like things were okay until the word dropped at work that, effective tomorrow, no one comes in except critical staff. I'm not critical staff and had already expressed interest in telework anyways, but was told business as usual until we got the things we needed to work from home. I'm lucky that I get paid for this, but... I'm really bad at sudden changes to my routine and schedule. I'm not... as okay with this as I present myself to be. I have a massive sack full of work I can (and look forward to do) but part of my joy was actually GOING to work and being in the atmosphere with my coworkers. Together. My sister is out of work. Who knows what will happen to my folks' jobs. My aunt lost hers too. Things feel so eerie and out of place. Folks, check on your anxiety prone and autistic friends and family; we are not as okay as we're pretending to be.
