Yes, this is a perfectly normal feeling at times. In your case, umpiring has become a job rather than an escape. I'm 54 years old and I feel the same way when I go to my regular job. You have to learn to tame this feeling and that takes time. Find something to look forward to during the day and work toward that. If you enjoy seeing your partner, ask him if he wants to go to grab a bite to eat after the game. This is also something to look forward to.

Just don't let it eat at you and the feeling will pass. As you said, you don't want to do anything else so this is your job this summer. Do what you get paid for and just enjoy as best you can.
