Things that would have sent me into a panic three years ago or even two, but now only feel like a moderate problem to suss out and solve:
Somebody was laid off at bb's work [which he himself is trying to leave because the commute is an hour one way] and so for the last week he has been gone from the house from 9 am until 11 pm every day. No days off until the weekend.
Then today I hear that they're thinking of keeping him on these hours until the fall at least. So he's only home on the weekends or at night. And guess who works every weekend, all night and is only off during the week? Yep: me.
So. This isn't ok. I'm really hoping that won't happen and he can talk to them about his needs. Because it's not only that he'd be working all day every day just that we'd literally NEVER see each other except when I get home and crawl into bed, or weekend afternoons when we can't get anything official done. [like is that not ridiculous for people who live together and are a couple?] He'd never be able to do laundry, do dishes, any housework at all, no gaming, and most importantly no job hunting to find something ELSE. [Laundry and dishes are also rly hard to impossible things for me to get done, partly because I'm never awake when laundry should be done bc of my work schedule, and partly because triggers n shit]
Eh. I'm putting this away now because it's not gonna be as bad as I'm imagining and it'll work out. It will. I know it. This is no longer instant panic attack level but it is still at 'elevated stress, i need to not think about this overmuch or i WILL panic' level lol so. Yeah.
Other stuff: lmfao. we're putting energy into things that maybe we shouldn't. giving them momentum. might result in a new and very unique headmate. maybe more on that later.
