Thank you all.

I sent him an email to say No.

I gave too much explanation, but frankly just saying no pushed me outside my comfort zone. I grew up being told that work was more important than anything else in the world because we couldn't let Dad become unemployed. So for me to say no to something I was asked to do because he needed to take a work trip was harder than it ought to have been for me.

He's not happy but I don't care. This is what he signed up for.

He did schedule the one job I delegated for him but he is unlikely to see it through because of work commitments.

I am SERIOUSLY stressed waiting on the settlement counter offer and trying to get the house in shape for pictures, etc. I want to throw up. I have only been home ten minutes because of kid activities and I had to have a conversation with STBX about pricing the house because I'm the one who spoke to the realtor. All the back up places I had thought I might rent are off the market and the one house I could potentially buy is going up tomorrow and probably will sell before I'm ready to buy.

Jesus take the wheel, because nobody else knows where this bus is going.

No, I didn't need to get mad at him for asking. But phrasing of the email suggested "Oh, I tried, but it's not going to work, so you're going to have to rescue me." NOBODY is rescuing me and he hasn't even asked how my housing search is going or anything. I have hit my limit and I don't want to be asked anything else.

Also, my boss at work has made several REALLY huge mistakes in the last few weeks and today she gave me a really hard time over not binding a handout to her liking. It wasn't wrong -- she just didn't like how it was done. And I didn't even do the binding. I was supposed to but I got hung up with fixing an internet issue (at her request), so my co-worker did it. But she's standing there saying it in the faux-nice way people sometimes do, and it seemed petty to say "But I have done the last 30 of them right, and I didn't do this one." I just said, "OK." The person who did it spoke up for me which was kind, but all things considered it was just one thing too many for today.

I need a vacation. But I wont' have any till I have to go spend a week with my family in July. And I don't get enough vacation to do anything else than that. And I'm probably going to have to take at least one vacation day to move and I've already been told it will be unpaid. And none of these things should be that big of a deal, except that I'm tired and I feel like I'm being pecked to death.
