No meds to take! It probably has to do with the lack of sleep I've had over the past week/weekend. Case in point:
Thursday, Varsity game, home at 11:30pm. 5.5 hrs sleep.
Friday, College DH, then to hotel hospitality room to meet the out-of-towners in for our big spring JO FP tourney (128 teams, 88 umpires, 30 fields) that I'm co-UIC'ing. Up till 12:30am BS'ing and drinking. 4 hrs sleep.
Saturday, travel between 18 of the 22 fields being used, then to hotel hospitality. Reschedule some rainouts for Sunday with Wild Bill, then up till 3am trying to outdrink the Canadians. (They won... oh my God did they win). 3 hrs sleep.
Sunday, finish the tourney, travel to 3 complexes, pay out about $6k to out-of-town umpires, wait for the last game to finish at 9pm. To the Keg to eat a nice dinner provided to the tournament staff by the TD. Home at 11:30pm. 5 hours sleep.
Monday, Work, then 4 SP games. Field lights cause a delay, so I'm not off the fields until 11:30pm. Home at 12:15am. 5 hours sleep.
Tuesday, Work, then 4 SP games. Off the field at 11. 5.5 hours sleep.
Today, drinking coffee and recovering. Got a Varsity HS game this afternoon... which I am completely excited about because I'll be home by 6:30pm, and I'll actually get to sleep for more than 5 hours tonight!
Then looking forward:
Thursday, 3A HS Varsity league playoff game.
Friday, College DH.
Saturday, 2 JO games in the AM, 4A HS Varsity league playoff game, then 2 JO games in the PM.
Sunday, 4 SP games in the AM, then 2 or 3 JO FP games in the PM.
Monday, 4 SP games.
Tuesday, 3A HS District playoff game.
Wednesday, 4 SP games.
Next Thursday I finally have a break... and Friday I have tickets to the Mariners.
Is this obsessive, normal, or under-normal? What do you have going on?
