Being an adult is so stressful.
I feel like I’m pulled in all directions, every moment of every day.
There’s always something to be paying attention to, whether it’s a major project at work, a difficult process cleaning up something at home, or running around town to accomplish boring adult errands. I have to say, the errands are my least favorite part of growing up. In fact, I often have to take off work just to accomplish my outside duties. As if it isn’t stressful and unpleasant enough driving all over the city and missing work, every building seems more uncomfortable than the last. It seems like errands are continually a long, arduous, hot and cold ordeal. Around here, the outdoor air temperature is usually around a hundred degrees in the summer. The sun is extremely intense and the humidity is nothing to sneeze at. Every single building you walk into is like a polar tundra. They crank their air conditioning system so high that it feels like the North Pole. Every time you walk into a building, you’re instantly slammed with a cold blast of dry air. Walking back out towards the car, you are inundated with sunshine and thick humid air. You basically have to wipe down after every trip into the outdoor sauna, before wandering back into the frigid winter weather contained indoors. If it wasn’t unpleasant enough wasting all your time and money adult chores, you can always look forward to the respiratory illness you’ll develop from extreme temperature fluctuations.
