Why is morning? I slept for utter shit last night. First, I had a touch of low sugar as we went down to sleep. Then, I was having a slow motion panic attack, so I sat there with my heart pounding half the night. Today, I feel kind of shaky and shitty after two nights of not great sleep. I don't really want to do the work today to say the least.



So, per the CDC, we're back to masking. Like I ever stopped. At this point, I hardly ever go out anyway, but when I do, it'll definitely be with a mask on. I don't think our governor will reinstate the mask mandate, because he's suddenly remembered that he's a Republican, but I'm hoping some of the local businesses will. We'll have to see.

Yesterday, I ended up mostly doing the delivery updates, as my coworker was having technical issues. The macro would not work for him, and crashed Outlook every time he tried. Since that's the difference between having to code each one individually and being able to do them in batches, it seemed the wiser course of action to just let me do it. I don't really mind the updates. It's easy now that I know what I'm doing. It was my early day, so I'm hoping the 4pm run went okay for him.

My sister is very chatty this morning. With the lack of sleep, it's just like nails on a chalkboard.

Last night we played a text format game of Lasers and Feelings. I'm...not sure how it went. It was a little chaotic. Jess said they had fun, so hopefully everyone did. The premise was that a shady black market dealer was throwing a masquerade, and was planning to sell off the incredibly dangerous material unobtainium at a midnight auction. The team was dispatched to keep that from happening. All they knew about the dealer was her code name: The Blue Duchess, and that she was going to be dressed as Marie Antoinette. Unfortunately, there were three Maries. The team scanned and schmoozed, and eventually zeroed in on a Marie with a detachable head. They decided that the head contained the unobtainium, and in a heroic move snatched it away with a laser bullwhip, and ran for the ship. They got away cleanly, and were heading towards headquarters when we closed the game for the night. We only played for two hours, since it was a weeknight, so it had to be a pretty condensed mystery, and I'm not sure how it played for everyone.

Today, I shall work, then cook dinner, then crash out for bed early. Maybe listen to a podcast for a while. We've started listening to Dimension 20, which has been so far good. We're still in the set up portion of the campaign, but I've enjoyed what I've listened to. Of course, the DM is really good and makes me feel inferior. I've mostly resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be a Matt Mercer or Griffin McElroy, but my players keep showing up, so things are going pretty well.

Okay, I need more coffee, and to get my shit together for work. Have a good Wednesday, everyone!
