Good bad news?

Well, I was laid off today.
Yes, that is bad.
I like eating and having a place to sleep at night. I'm partial to being able to support myself. So, now come the hard decisions. What can I have shut off to save money? How can I reduce utility expenses (that reminds me -- I need to pay the electricity today)?
My biggest concerns are rent and health insurance. Pre-existing conditions are going to be a bite in the butt (to use my mother's lingo). It will cost about $1800 to get out of the lease early. My final check/severance was...let me look...almost $3K?! I didn't notice that earlier...
More tough decisions...that could probably get me to Nebraska...but I'd need a job and living with my brother and his brood...that would be, um, trying.
What's 3000 less 1800? 1200? f*ck! That's about a dollar a mile back to my family in Nebraska...
Oh my God...I've been wondering lately what God thought about me moving back to Nebraska...
What do you think? Is this His answer? ...I'm going to cry now...
