I meant, tell him you want your special day, too.
Well, he knows that. But that's not in the cards.

I think Zen meant on another day.

Yeah, I am being rigid about my actual birthday, which is ridiculous as an adult, because stuff always coincides with it, even if it's just work (I always thought you should get the day off work for your birthday). I always think the actual date is important, but it's better for it to be a moving target.
So, yeah, I'm sure my birthday will get celebrated at some point.

I understand that. I'm pretty attached to my actual birthday, maybe it's a Cancerian thing. And I get irrationally upset when relatives call me on my birthday only to remind me that my grandmother passed away on my 16th.

Even if my birthday weren't Friday, this is all still lousy. I have no good choices here. Either light myself on fire to keep other people happy, or try to act with some sense of self-preservation and make everyone angry at me. So I basically feel like fuck everything. Just fuck it all.

Is there anything we can do?
Why does ltc insist on hanging all over me when it's hot and humid? She's usually not like this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"Fuck everything" seems like an appropriate response to your situation, honestly. No lighting yourself on fire, please. I am against that option.

Steph, lighting yourself on fire goes against everything you stand for. You light other things on fire, not yourself.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I have no good choices here.
Maybe try to remember that this is the true, and sucky, fact? I know for me sometimes I make myself more frustrated because even when it's pretty clear that this is the case, I'm still trying for there to be some way for it not to be.
Fuck everything is an appropriate response.
If I haven't said before, I'm really so sorry this on top of everything. Especially since I know how important your birthday is to you, and the actual day.

Dear people, please stop telling me the humidity isn't that bad today, the sweat on my water glass and my asthma say different. No love, sj.
