    I'm just so tired. Kid is back to back sick, partner is a day or two behind to catch the same bugs, and I keep not getting sick so I'm picking up a lot to keep the wheels spinning. I'm desperate for like one night of just not being needed so I can recharge, and it's just not happening. We have no support network, I'm the only driver, and I work from home so sick day means no work getting done, and I fairly desperately need the raise I'm trying to make happen. I am completely burnt and unable to summon the emotional energy to be regularly intimate (not even just sexually, I'm barely really managing "present"), and I do not know what the fuck to do. On one hand I feel bad for not being able to respond every time I am needed, but on the other hand I feel like I'm doing everything already and I can't even find the space to process what I'm feeling because everyone else is having a bad time.
