\"Gabe4yo\"<\/a>This weekend was a big deal. \u00a0It was my community’s final live event of 2013, and I had a final project due in history and a refined inability to walk without excruciating pain, courtesy of my annual struggle with gout. \u00a0Despite my infirmity, the GameDay was a success. \u00a0We probably had around 40 people show up, and quite a few of them stayed through the day. \u00a0We actually had to cancel a game because we were out of tables. \u00a0It was my game, so I made peace with it rather quickly.<\/p>\n

Now… we wait. \u00a0It’s my week between classes, and it should have been relaxing. \u00a0But they called for overtime, and I answered. \u00a0It’s shitty, but necessary. \u00a0But I find myself exhausted, yet unable to sleep… I’m sure you know the feeling. \u00a0Kinda like when you order a meal that’s waaaaay too big to finish, but it didn’t look like it when it started. \u00a0You want to finish it, because that was the choice you made when you ordered it. \u00a0But you may as well beat yourself over the head repeatedly if you think you’re going to enjoy the aftermath once you’ve choked it all down. \u00a0Even worse… if it’s something you really love, it seriously taints the experience.<\/p>\n

Y’know… I don’t think that works with the sleep metaphor so well.<\/p>\n

I have a few days to try and adjust to the overtime schedule… 10 hour days, six days a week… \u00a0Then my next class begins, and what little spare time I have left will become a tradable commodity. \u00a0And as usual, I have too much to do.<\/p>\n

However! \u00a0This morning, whilst my wife was napping, I hobbled over to Gabriel’s school and picked him up, then the two of us spent a couple hours together as I ran errands and we stopped and had some lunch. \u00a0We both got too much food. \u00a0Neither of us ate it all.<\/p>\n

Togetherness, at it’s best.<\/p>\n

Peace and love, me hearties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
