This week has utterly flattened me.

• Work projects shuffled around, leaving me in chaos;
• My manager is taking unexpected sick leave, leaving my vacation plans in a lurch;
• Weather rollercoasters doing numbers on my joints;
• My D&D character died in yesterday’s session, and the cherry on top:
• When I’m planning to create a new one, the GM says he’ll be taking a well deserved summer break to deal with burnout, starting after our next session.

None of it is insurmountable, nothing that happened is worth throwing a pity party over. But damn if it isn’t a heavy load on my soul this afternoon.
