No Time to Die... from COVID-19

[LynnInDenver]

So with the downturn in business, my hours have been cut starting today, so we now have no discretionary income in the house whatsoever. For at least 4 weeks, probably at least 8, likely longer.

Denver has now instituted "stay at home" orders. I expect the state to follow by the coming weekend. That could wipe out the rest of the income and I'd then have to file for unemployment.

My husband's work is implementing part-time work from home, he will hopefully be getting a work machine tomorrow to do that with.

At this point, I have to write off at least three months worth of plans, if not six, and retool some home projects or abandon them. It's becoming abundantly clear that I have to more carefully consider projects being added to the queue, and consider they're going to take 3-4 times as long as they should - End of year 2018 my husband was laid off, which disrupted at least two projects planned for the start of 2019, and now, while I have a project done for an event, the attempt to do that event this year has now been disrupted. Basically, any and all projects, I have to consider whether it's worth doing when it might (will) be delayed because of stuff well outside my control.
