OK self, go ahead and through the asshole magician into a sandbox and use him as a spring board to get back to threading. You know you want to, so stop beating yourself up with guilt that you are not taking care of "responsibilities" and have fun with RPG like you're supposed to.
Or write up some OOMs.
Once you knock out a few projects at work of course.
ETA: And work just came threw like a drunken toddler and ruined those plans, didn't it? Tomorrow maybe?
