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'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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.

sj, I hear you've got some pretty bad humidity. That sucks.

It's been awful. I need an ocean breeze or an awful awful. Neither of which is going to happen today. So, I will settle for a cool shower if ltc would just go to sleep.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Steph, I wish there was something I could do besides validate that the universe is being a right arsehole to you and that of course you can feel upset about being able to celebrate on your birthday. Wishing you get-through-it~ma.
I send you cool breezes, sj.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If I ever move out of Virginia, I'm going someplace that isn't humid. It's absolute misery. I don't leave the house in summertime if I can avoid it.
Steph, it sucks that you've got to do unpleasant things instead of having your celebration on your birthday day. It's totally normal to feel resentful that these unpleasant things have crowded out your birthday! But please remember (god, I hope this comes out the way I mean it) remember this isn't happening because someone put you last. It's happening because you chose to put someone else first. Because you love them. That's a whole different thing. Nobody is stepping on you this time. You're stepping up. And you're pretty awesome for doing that; a lot of people would just refuse to show up for their family and their partner and go do what they wanted instead.
