I need to put in the ac before it gets unpleasant. I've been lying on the couch since 8, contemplating this. Yesterday was a little much.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Coding and Sleeping
Feeling really down today. Spent a good part of the day cleaning yesterday, but the house is still a mess. It's hard for me to find any time to do a lot besides the routine household stuff of cooking, dishes, laundry, and such. The yard needs work too, but my back is hurt and I don't handle the heat well and it's super hot outside. I'm taking a lot of criticism at home, been feeling some pressure at work, got a letter from the IRS saying I owe them $1,800 (which doesn't look to be true, but that's another thing I don't have time to deal with), can't seem to get a break financially (mostly because of medical stuff which is also the IRS problem), and I dunno, I feel like I can't take much more. Nothing I can really do about it though.

Gud, I'm not clear on why all of the household stuff is on you. You have three other members of the household, and they should be carrying some of the load. Especially since it's Father's Day!
And I know it's hard to do, but I want to encourage you to find a therapist. A professional can help you develop tools to prioritize this stuff, and manage both the stress and your relationships (which are clearly contributing to the stress).

What Consuela said.
Ok, help: what do I wear on a kayaking date? I want to look cute but also activity appropriate. It will be about 66-68F. If it were not a date if probably wear running capris and a spandex top, on the theory that if they get wet they would dry quickly. But that seems not right for a date.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Gud, I'm sorry you have so much stress on your plate. It just hard.

meara, I don't know, but my thought is activity appropriate beats date. Do you have a cute top that would coordinate with the running capris to wear over the spandex top that you can peal off for the actual kayaking?
ETA: because cute without an e is weird in this context.

Also, that activity appropriate is date appropriate for that activity! (And, you are pretty darned cute in that kind of outfit as evidenced by the many adorable pics of you from running events!)

Gud, if even just venting about everything bothering you helps, we're here for you.
