Happy Eclipse day to everyone in the path of totality. (Which is definitely not us.) I hope y'all get an amazing view. My sister ordered glasses for Jess and I, so I may take a little break this afternoon and go peek out, we'll see. Depends on how busy the queue at work is. I fully expect that people will stop calling while they go watch the eclipse, so maybe I'll have a few seconds to run outside.
Aside from that, I have my long-awaited psych appointment for ADHD today. I'm looking forward to it, and a touch anxious as well. When I did the online doctor, the only thing they were willing to prescribe was Strattera, which did fuckall for me. They cited my anxiety and insomnia as a reason. Oh, and my perfectly controlled high blood pressure. I'm hoping my actual doctor has some other ideas. It would be nice to be able to focus on something for more than two minutes at a time--maybe, and I know this is crazy, but maybe be able to read a book! I feel like my difficulty focusing has gotten worse as I've gotten older. Ah, a quick google tells me that menopause can make ADHD symptoms worse. Huh. That would make some sense. I've been in peri-menopause for about 6 or so years, and that would pretty much correlate with my ability to focus going kersplat. Especially if it started up while I was still at Chesapeake Urology, since towards the end of that job is when my focus became a problem. I mean, that also coordinated with when my fibro/cervical stenosis/migraines were at their peak, too. So y'know, it could kind of be either or both.
Yesterday, we had a much better day with Dad. He was a bit perkier, and actually got up for a few hours, so that was good.
We had an excellent game in the morning, during which my character managed to get one good shot off, and blew up the cube we'd come to destroy, which immediately popped us into another dimension, which in a future game we'll be trying to get out of.
After that, it was just a normal Sunday. Getting the laundry ready and out to the car, running my sister to the laundromat so she doesn't have to deal with parking, the usual.
I did manage to talk myself into DMing another game, but it's just a short module. It's one from the 90's, and will require some updating. There's actually a more modern one that is a reimagining of the legend of Baba Yaga, so I'm going to pick up that one as well and see which I like more. On one hand, the new one is made for the current D&D system. On the other, I DMed the old one with the shitty group, and it was a lot of fun. So, I'll look through and see which one sounds most interesting. The old one had some seriously screwed up shit in it, so that could be entertaining. It probably won't be until June, so I'll have time to convert it if I decide to go with the old one. It seems like most of the creatures translate pretty well, so the majority of the work would be clipping the maps from the PDF and uploading it.
Watched part of the end of Wrestlemania, though I was asleep before the end. My favorite part may have been the opening where the daughter of the former head of the company (who was ousted for sex trafficking and various other horrible things) threw him under the bus and threw behind her husband on a worldwide broadcase, proclaiming it the most "special Wrestlemania because it's the first Wrestlemania of the Paul Levesque Era." It seems like both nights were a resounding success, which is awesome. I want all the wrestling companies to do well, because then on the occasions when I want to watch, it's not embarrassing to watch.
Okay, time for me to get myself together. Everyone have the best Monday!
