I'm burnt out. I don't know how to make it happen today, yet I have to.
My wife is going to law school soon, we are moving states. We need all the money we can get.
I am disabled, I have severe chronic pain with a half-functional left leg. Work is hard. Walking is hard. Standing is hell. I can't do it today, especially after all the prep I've done for moving. But I have no choice.
I missed yesterday. That's $120 after taxes wiped out. If I miss today, we are down $240. That doesn't sink us, we are lucky to have small buffer, but it is too much to let go. I have no real choice.
I have to go in. I have to stand and hurt. I have to walk and hurt. I have to work and hurt myself.
I'm tired. I used to be politically active and organized, but it's been beaten out of me by the exhaustion of “real life” work. I'm so tired. It hurts so much.
