When I did finally get up for work, I was able to cut my morning short and warm up my last burrito before showering and heading in to work. I was aware of my afternoon meeting with Aptean yesterday, but somewhere along the way it fell off my radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took a late lunch, but fortunately I had brought leftovers from home, because a few bites into it I noticed the calendar alert. I hopped onto the call about five minutes late and felt terrible for it, but it was still a mostly pointless and short meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little while after that, I started to feel some generalized anxiety again, and I didn&#8217;t understand it. I think that hung around for an hour or so before it let up, but I had trouble focusing after that. I tried to just relax on the way home, but I pressed on as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eaddie was home from band camp, but Summer had already eaten earlier in the afternoon. They sat around talking and doing things on the couch while I processed Vine stuff and put together a couple motorcycle stands. Then I took Eaddie to La Villa for dinner. I got a seafood pasta that had so many calamari rings that it looked more like giant SpaghettiOs. She talked all about her experience as a counselor and how terrible the entire event was. It sounded like the complete lack of adult oversight could have easily caused enough of a parental stir to get Tech into big trouble, but it&#8217;s more likely that nothing will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we got home, I took Muad&#8217;Dib for a quick run to my parents&#8217; house as it got dark. Eaddie left, Summer went to bed, and I fought sinus issues the rest of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Just a trickling.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had an anxiety attack in the middle of the night at one point after I had been awake for a moment.
