First paycheck after the layoff - 6 months and counting

My first paycheck after 19 weeks arrived today. I am in Boston, in case local advice matters. It is a small amount, but it feels huge. Hoping it is the start of a better run.

Congratulations! Small wins matter a lot.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
