Can We Do That Weekend Over Please?

vianegativaThe Fourth of July weekend was decidedly meh.
Thursday was a hellacious workday; apparently the stars aligned and everyone's sign was the constellation "Asshole". It was a day of endless bickering, primadonnas, unsubtle threats and general asshattery. Afterwards, while leaving to escape I let my wandering eyes follow a cute frat bear... which resulted in me hitting pavement face first on Wacker & Adams. My wrist & leg are still hurting from that... regardless, I then went to get a Lemonade from Starbucks that was immediately knocked from my hand by a twenty-something suburbanite & his vapid girlfriend, who giggled when he followed up by saying "Watch where you're FUCKING GOING!!!"
God, I hate West Suburban self-important twats... and their kids. Anyway, the barista saw the whole exchange and made me a lemonade to replace it. This moment of kindness was later followed by a hellacious night getting Travis from the train station during the Taste of Chicago after-fireworks exodus.
So all in all? Yeah. Fuck last Thursday.
Friday was quiet as we ate out for brunch and kept close to home. Saturday we hit a friends post-Fourth celebration for a bit then hit the bars, which was something I wasn't too keen on. The company, as always, was amazing but the press of the crowd was draining. Sunday was quiet as Mike was under the weather and I canceled game, which I hated myself for doing but I didn't want to pen Mike up in one room while I ran a six-hour game.
The problem there is I want to run a CONSISTENT, RELIABLE game and here we were in the second session & I'm canceling. Meh. I'll flog myself for it all this week.
The remainder of Sunday saw me feeling out-of-sorts... which has crept into today as well. I have a start of a headache, possibly a migraine and I feel very disconnected. I think I'm going through one of my "low people tolerance" cycles and accordingly I think I'll retreat a little bit until I can stand dealing with folks for longer periods again. It may sound odd, but during these times, dealing with people just exhausts me. So I'll hibernate a bit, keep to a select few friends and activities & recoup my "people-stamina."
We'll see how the next few days go.
