Awww Jen. You know you are one of my favorite people here on PT and I hate knowing that you are sad.
You have been given some great advice from others, as I was going to suggest going for a walk also. This helps me when I am feeling down.

I know you said you are not doing this for attention or pity and you're not. You are talking to the people who care about you and how you are feeling right now. We might not have all the answers, but know that we are here for you and will help you get over this setback, no matter what.

I hope you are able to get home soon to your furbabies and take some comfort in their purrs and headbumpies.
