Easy to feel tired and like this is something we don't want to be a part of. I know.
Good for you for getting out with a friend. I'm making similar plans. Dinner next week with some old workmates.
I remember sometime after BombDrop and before finding out about Ws EA I was thinking to myself that something crazy was coming next and I had the attitude that whatever came next I should lean in and try 'enjoy' it. I'm not saying this an experience I would wish on anyone but I do try to summon that feeling from time to time, that this is one of the defining events in my life. It will change everything. I will likely tell this tale for the rest of my life. That helps me sometimes to find a bit more strength and patience. Maybe this will help you too.
