Social isolation. The fact that I'm a medically high risk person living in an area where hardly anyone takes the pandemic seriously, so I have to stay home to protect myself. It's been hard. I miss being around people and going out and doing normal things.
Financial uncertainty. My husband's independently owned company is in the process of being sold to and absorbed by a large corporation. His HR director called and talked to him about it and said his name was on the recommended list to stay on with the new company, but he won't know for sure until the end of the month when he's either laid off or offered a new employment contract. So, in the meanwhile he has been looking for Plan B options. I'm not physically or mentally up to working outside of the home now, but ineligible for any kind of disability benefits, so aside from selling random crafted items and selling things I don't want anymore, I'm kind of useless in terms of helping build up the emergency fund. It's not completely dire, we won't end up homeless if he's not kept on with the new company, but we may have to struggle for a while until he finds something else. And I'm too old and sick to face it as well as I could in the past.
