I'm sorry dude. That sounds pretty stressful. Also your high school group sounds a little strange too. It sounds fun if that's what you're into, or nightmarish if you're not.

Maybe you could talk to your group about scheduling a different day. I know for me, Saturday is a weird day to play on, since there always seems like there's something else going on. Family birthday parties, friends visiting from out of time, weekend get away type things. Lots of stuff that might take priority over game night as well.

Maybe you could talk to your group about switching to a weekday? Or switching to playing online if everyone can't meet up, or has to be up early the next day. I know it's not ideal. But it could be something to consider.
