In the grand scheme of things, we’ll be fine. We’ve got a good savings cushion so we’re not in as rough shape as some folks. But my routine has gone out the window. Normally I set my alarm for 5:30, and I can’t sleep past 6:30 even on weekends, because I’ve been getting up at 5:30 for 20+ years. Well, I haven’t set the alarm for three weeks and, for the first time, I have no kids at home so no need to get up to make breakfast or pack lunch. I seriously haven’t had more than one week where I had no alarm (or no baby) in 22 years. And now I’m sleeping later and staying up later. When this ends and I go back to work the first few days are going to be painful to wake up.
