Successfully made it to the West Coast! Partner's mom who drove across the country with us over the course of a week tested positive for COVID on the last day :( so now quarantining. Partner and I healthy so far, and it's just about at day 5 so we think we're safe (knock on wood) just in time to fly back to the east coast tomorrow for a wedding this weekend.

Still unemployed, haven't applied to jobs in a few weeks but going to really ramp it up again soon. Bank account rapidly shrinking, and with both living expenses and medical bills rolling in, I'm really looking forward to working at a grocery store to scrape by enough to contribute to household expenses while I look for a job that actually uses my degree and areas of interest. It really hurts spending and spending with no income at all. It's an awful time. Don't recommend the unemployment life.
