Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

For the first time in many, many years, I don't have extra money for emergencies. Just enough for this month's expenses. This makes me feel uncomfortable.
 
I had LASIK, and still wear glasses now...Because of computer-bound work, my eyes have just started deteriorating again. It'll fix your eyes up, but it can't stop them going bad again if you abuse them;

Yesterday, we were out shopping. My GF was complaining about this rash she has all the time. I've told her to go see a skin doctor a thousand times ,but she's almost as stubborn about it as me about going to see a therapist...heh.
Anyway, we were shopping. I don't know exactly how it came about, but on a whim, I rubbed the woolly inside of a winter vest on her face. So, three hours later ,one side of her face? Rash of the "open sores and bloody" variety. Um, I may have just solved her "why do I always get rashes?" problem, but I *might*'ve wanted to do it in a slightly less visible place. Oops. She's, understandably, a tad upset with me right now.
 
Damn it, I hate the summers here... While there are positives (my birthday is in the summer, for example), I don't deal well with this kind of humid heat at all. On top of sapping my energy, it's making all of my joints burn. My right thumb is pretty much locked in an upright position because it hurts to bend it. It's great if I want to give something a thumbs-up or down, but really, that doesn't happen that often...

Bah, I miss winter... Give me snow and -30 degrees like when I was a wee lad!

I would just be super happy to know what I'm allergic to. I'd be upset maybe, but not AT you.

That was my reasoning as well, but she's a bit bummed considering she likes to sleep on a wool undermattress when we're at her parents' house and has been badgering me to take it with us so we can sleep "just as comfortable" at home. Guess that's not going to happen :p

I kept putting it off and getting distracted by other work and now I have to spend Labor Day weekend catching up on my school's mandated "Safeguarding God's Children" training. We all have to take an online refresher every 3 years. This is so depressing.

That disagree was for the -30° part.

This is a whine, but I brought it on myself, so yeah yeah.

Ex has decided she wants to be friends again, but she is clearly very very attached and when I don't "give in" like she wants me to, she gets really depressed. I'm starting to stress about her happiness and crap again, which is one of the reasons I left in the first place. She is just a giant bucket of stress and anxiety, and insists on being unhappy, despite "trying" to be happy.

She keeps trying to get me to see a movie with her, and I keep trying to explain it's a bad idea because the only thing that can happen here is her getting hurt. I don't think I can make it any clearer, really, so I guess at this point it's on her?

But dammit. I still feel bad if she feels bad and I feel like I have to do something to cheer her up.

It's actually quite stressful. I know I should just walk away-- and have on multiple occasions, but she always comes back, convinced she can handle it.
 
Wife is apprehensive about a big board meeting with her new role in the company on Tuesday. Tells me repeatedly she needs to be more prepared. Been taking care of Leyla since this morning so she can have time to do so. Spends 80% of the time "bringing down stress" by playing Candy Crush.
