It's dark when I wake and dark when I make my weary way home. Time is never enough, the workload never lightens. I am never enough. Spread too thin, stretched too far, my stress symptoms are recurring and intensifying.
Him, too. His life mirrors mine, sometimes it feels like all we have is that we sleep together. Often he'll work later, and I'll already be sleeping when he gets home. He complains, during our few waking hours, that I am not pleasant to him when he disturbs my rest. I remember nothing of these mid night exchanges.
Money in, money out. Chores saved, for another day, "when I have time", friends too. Friends, faded into acquaintances, faded out of my life. I have him. When we're sleeping, at least.
I'm so glad I'm grown up now. I'm pleased that I can pay my own way, I'm proud of myself.

I have, for good and ill, been writing directly into the submit box these last few posts. I do so to keep from overthinking things, but it means that things that may have needed more work and depth don't get it.

Honestly, this didn't do it for me.
Fey, you are infinitely more talented than me at writing, I will admit that. But this was shit, sorry.

Let me rephrase that with an Uniter adjusted rating.
I didn't exactly like it, and I didn't exactly dislike it. It seems as though you got cheap with the storyline in order to have a post and not forfeit. This could have used a beginning and an end, or a middle and and an end, or a beginning and a middle, etc. etc.

I'm with Sico on this, but I am feeling particularly fearless today.

Well, I didn't exactly like it, but fear the repercussions of not continuing a streak.
