Directions Unit | Production Problems + General Anxiety

Today's been an irritating day to say the least! The original plan was to shoot throughout the afternoon today, however due to adverse weather conditions (it snowed for 3 hours) I deemed it unsafe to shoot, the main reason for this was that I feared risking damage to both the camera and the microphone equipment, should we bring them out into the harsh weather.

The current plan as of typing this now is to begin shooting soon after 9am tomorrow morning, hoping the weather clears up as well. This is the last opportunity I will get to film using the Sony XDCAM and boom microphone and we're also limited on time, due to one of my actors potentially being required elsewhere. I consider teething problems like this to be part of any production, however it does baffle me how much can go wrong when under the guise that things were planned out to a tee.

I've suffered from general anxiety for quite a while now, developing more so as I've gotten older and probably reaching it's peak during secondary school. While it's not as bad as it perhaps was then, I still have regular encounters with it, tripping me up at various different points along the way to wherever I'm heading. I think it's important at times like these to really put things into perspective and accept the reality of the situation. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, I have no plans of dying, I will see the sunset on this day, and I think that right now, is what is truly pulling me through this incredibly stressful ordeal.
