husband lost his job but i'm not freaking out about it [View all]

there's no way we can live on my pay but there have been no tears, no panic attacks, no stress, just a plan to get through it. the unmedicated me would be an absolute mess right now. the medicated me is just looking at this as a challenge that we can overcome.

he had a phone interview with ups today and although it is just an on-call position, it's something.

it's only been a few days, but it hasn't strained our relationship. he's been in cave mode for a few days, but i understand that, i've been in his position before.

things will be tight for a bit, but it isn't anything we haven't dealt with before.
