We will get paid our normal wage, once a budget is passed. The bill they passed just let us keep our jobs and continue working during the shutdown.

Luckily, my supervisor is still allowing leave, however he's working it.
Without knowing when the next paycheck is coming, the fun is a bit dampered, but still get to carry on my plans.
