Not sure why I'm having such a difficult day today

First of all, it's not easy being semi-single. Quite frankly I'm the type that attaches myself to one or two close friends and beyond that, I don't have much of a life. So when those friends find something else to do, I'm at a loss. I think partly I need to make my room a little more Amy friendly. My desk doesn't have much space, and my bed isn't the best for chilling. My cats leave hair all over the place too, which is a bit uncomfortable.

Anyway, I think part of it is also the stress and the workload. Workwise, I have two projects due today. One is very difficult, but I'm sure I'll get it finished.

Personally, well...finances aren't great. Still paying a lot of bills that the ex kind of left out there. Therefore, my spending money isn't much. For once, the roommates have an excess of cash, so it's difficult watching them spend on stuff they want and need, while I'm trying to figure out how to make $60 work for a week and a half (til next paycheck).

I lowered the price on the house, however the ex hasn't been keeping that up very well. What little there is left of the yard, hasn't been well kept and it's difficult to try to sell a house when the grass is knee deep. Plus, I found out the air conditioning isn't working....well. I need to get the warranty people out there to try to fix it. But I have no money.

I want to file the divorce papers, but frankly I haven't had the time to draw them up myself yet. Also, it will cost me $575 to get someone to look over it and file. Money, once again, I don't have.

All in all, I'm just overwhelmed. Much to do, and all I want to do is hide under the covers and sleep. I'm sick and tired of handling everything.

And lastly, although not that big of a deal...I work with my closest friend. Unfortunately, odds are that he's going to have another job here soon. This means no more breaks and lunch with him. I'm tired of losing friends at work and then having to make new ones. Guess I'll be turning into a workaholic here soon.

Things will get better. Just going to take some time.

I wish you could just fast-forward through this part. Soon the house will sell & you will be flush again.

It sounds like your house needs a visit from “Designed to Sell”. It’s a rough time to be selling, but I know something will work out for you. Good luck!
