Awake early and recap

I have been awake since 3:30am. I ended up laying in bed until 4:30 with everything spinning in my head. Worry for ethicalcannibal with her new school schedule, worry for work with the CAFR deadline, worry for parents (as is normal), and just overall worry about the financial condition we are in. The most frustrating part is I had hoped by giving up coffee for the last 7+ months that the anxiety would abate and my sleep habits would normalize, but it seems my normal sleeping habits are 5-6 hours no matter how much caffeine I ingest. I have seriously considered going back to coffee, its offered at most worksites, it does boost me in the morning a bit better, etc.

Today is going to be a long day. We will be leaving here about 8am to go up and see my parents. Take my dad to take the written driver's test then take him to a doctors appointment. We will then drop them off and head over to visit with ashcake and talkswithwind. Once that is done we will visit with godling. Then we should be wrapped up by afternoon. This evening we will then go down to dudeling to go to a birthday party being thrown for him.

We don't have a game this Sunday, unfortunately some of our group isn't able to make it so we will recommence on 3/14. True it gives me time to prepare more for dying light, and it also gives me more prep time for the game and it gives me one last weekend before I lose the whole weekend to LARPing. I just wish to get back in the rhythm of the campaign. Although this does mean I get to hang with the wife all weekend (well at least after today), that is a cool cool thing.
