LJ Idol Presents:

I'll be honest, I'm having a tough time getting by these days. There's nothing dire going on, but work has been extremely chaotic for the last month or so (and will not let up until AT LEAST July), and home life has been stressful, as well, as we rapidly approach the six-month mark of my father-in-law living with us.

The thing is that he's not impossible to live with or anything, and he (for the most part) minds his own business and stuff, but I just don't get any alone time and I feel like my house is not my own, like that feeling of having company over and not knowing what to do with yourself because you can't just relax like you do when you're home alone, but just always. It's hard when you can't point to any particular behavior and have to just say, "Your existence stresses me out!" because it seems unreasonable.
