The title says it all. It's November and I have yet to wear anything but shorts and a t-shirt. It's 25C outside and whenever I go for a walk I sweat like a pig. This time of the year I should be taking out my heavy coat, jeans and a jacket should be the bare minimum.

I am located in Athens, Greece where the weather is usually nice but not this nice...

It's like a daily reminder of the doom that has to follow. How are you coping with this?

It's extra difficult sending my kids to school every morning seeing this. I go between thoughts of "well, at least I have time with them right now" and "you're a selfish asshole for bringing them into a mess like this."

So I pretty much feel terrible about my choice all day every day but try to make the most of the time we have right now? It's hard.

Someone’s gotta live through it, give them a fighting chance.

Of course I will, doesn't change my guilt and feelings of helplessness though

You can't change the decision you made. Focus on improving the current situation.

I feel the same. It's constant. I don't have answers.
