Just had to euthanize a dog I could have saved via surgery after over an hour of working with the clients trying to figure out something and everyone eventually just realizing that nope, there just wasn't a way we could make it work and the owners could still eat for the next three months.
Now working on the insurance stuff that just about killed me yesterday because it's complicated and scary (I don't like thinking of bad things happening to me--I am now paranoid about my hands, thank you insurance lady) and always harder with me and Cat because of stupid non-existent marriage license. And I don't even *like* the institution of marriage, even when it includes us, because poly and ace people and privileging sexual relationships over platonic ones, but god damn it I would get that marriage certificate in a heartbeat if I could just to make these stupid things easier.
And my boss-man trying to coerce me into working emergencies because he needs me to even though it's supposed to be optional and pointing out how I need the extra money (true because goddamn student loans) but I really don't like working emergency.
And yeah I basically came to the conclusion that money is the root of all evil and stress and I hate it.
Sorry for the rant. Just a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Edited to remove something it wasn't really my place to divulge. Also, really, really sorry about ranting at you.
Don't apologize. It's why I asked, seriously. That's the whole point of this little group. We support each other, even when it comes to non-fandom stuff. I wouldn't call you guys my friends if I didn't mean it.
I really wish there was something I could do or say to reassure you. We just need to keep fighting. Vee and I are moving to New York. We'll finally be able to get married. But it won't be recognized in any state that doesn't recognize it. Such a stupid, stupid fucking amendment (The 14th? I think, trumps the 9th for gay rights. States rights, thanks to the Civil War)
Hang in there. Just keep going. One day at a time. <3
