Not my best day

carbonelI am having a total meltdown about such stupid stuff.
I may have to cancel the cruise I’ve been looking forward to for months because of last week's bronchitis (or cold or whatever). My mother says they won’t let me on board if I’m coughing, even if the cough is the aftermath of something totally unrelated to coronovirus. Hong Kong was already canceled, and with the additional cost for the ticket to Taipei, I’m already out $1,600 for airfare in all, plus the cost of the cruise. Vacation time is already planned. But honestly, everything going on with it has been so stressful (mostly related to coronovirus) that I’m ready to cancel if I could be assured that the cruise line and insurance company would make good on everything.
I do volunteer copyediting for an online publication, and I’m late on that because I was sick. I’ve finished editing the last article, but I don’t want to do the final bits to put it all together. Maybe later tonight.
Maybe I’m not as recovered from being sick as I thought, because every little thing that went wrong today had me stress-crying.
And this is all so minor compared to people with real problems that I feel guilty about feeling upset, too. I just want it all to go away. If the cruise doesn’t happen, maybe I’ll hibernate for a week. I don’t have seasonal affective disorder -- normally I like winter -- but maybe this is the classic midwinter blahs.
