I never thought I'd say this. Never ever. But I'm... burnt out on leveling right now.
There. I said it. I SAID IT!
Make fun of me if you wish, but I've hit outlands with my enhancement shaman... and I just can't do it again! I think the problem is that I keep having to stop there. I have my new DK that I pushed through outlands and is now in Northrend. I have my new druid that I pushed through outlands with D's new toon and is now in Northrend. I have a hunter that I pushed through outlands and is now in Northrend.
I really really want to play my enhancement shaman... I just don't want to do the quest/instance grind to get through outlands. My other option is to try to realm-transfer Karika and respec her enhancement for a while. Maybe also Kathe and respec her healing. I don't want to do that, because I think one of the things that helps me learn a spec is to level AS the spec. And ... well, I won't be doing that. But just don't think I can do it.
Karika is a level 80 resto shaman right now. Kathe is a level 80 bear right now. It would be a big change on both of them to abruptly change. But I could do it, I guess. *sigh*
Otherwise, things are going great. The game is still going good. The Nook is still delicious.
We're fostering a puppy. She's abso-friggen-lutely adorable! Even Chewie plays with her! Yoda is a grump. So he doesn't.
Work is going great. D is working with me at my second job, as a vet-tech! So that's good. :)
Scans on him went well recently. No masses, no regrowth, no recurrence.
Aaaand... that's that. For now.

Oh wow, the obligatory 'been a while' post.
So... it's been a while!
I no longer admin at Unsung Heroes. Instead, D and I have our own place up at agrajag.rpg-works.net 1138 -- it's a split themed game, Old Republic and Rebellion Era.
It's doing swimmingly! 20-25 people on per evening, sometimes more. Most are individuals, we don't have as many alts on our game (most people just have two). We usually get over 150-200 noms a week. Which is pretty good, I think.
Some of the things we had tried to implement on UH but couldn't are now implemented, and working well, I think!
We filed for bankruptcy. Our house was foreclosed. D's brother is getting out from the hospital after having been split open with a MRSA infection.
Hypocrisy still irritates the heck out of me. I do one thing, one singular thing, and it's OMG WTF BBQ. Someone else does something, lots of somethings, continuously, and it's meh, no big.
I'm coming up on a year at my current duo of employment places. So far so good.
And that's really life in a nutshell. I'm back to playing some WoW, when I'm not RPing or running plots on Generations (our game). D is playing Rift. Big surprise there - the next MMO! He can't wait for Skyrim or whatever the next Elder Scrolls game is called.
Bunnies are still fighting, but we're working on it. Silly bunnies. You should be friends!
And... hrm. I can't think of anything else. Isn't that sad?

A real post... Unsung Heroes
A game. Of course it's about a game! Silly.
My computer crashed and burned, so I'm on the old laptop. Work is going splendidly.
And life continues on.
We have a 8x7 corral in the living room for the bunnies, since we couldn't figure out how to cordon off the entertainment center and all the wires. Or the baseboards. :P
Fiver and Hazel are still fighting, though Fiver is indeed neutered now. Maybe slowly they'll stop... or rather, Hazel will stop. The little turd won't leave Fiver alone!
And the game... goes well. Boon is a wizard there too now. The game is flourishing. When I started, there were maybe 10 people on the game. Now we average probably 25+ individual players. We have maybe 35-40 PCs logged in (some are alts) every day.
It's ... fun. Work at times, since with a big playerbase now, everyone needs something. But fun. :)
It serves as a nice creative outlet for me. And a social game.
I have two great old (three if you count an NPC) favorite characters of mine there. Keisha Vorr, Kithan the Squib, and Yamuzi the Laboi.
*sigh happily*
Anyhoo... more to come, maybe. Not that anyone cares. :)

What... the... hey?
So, I check my blog and I find out my last post had 18 new comments, all with strange characters, with one comment reading: 'if the quantity is not a lot, I will hand carry it', or something to that effect.
So... I'm sorry, but I have to switch over to moderated comments only. Because I have no idea what people were using the comments section of my blog for, but I don't like it.
Sorry!

Fox News
Save me. We now have TV. And Fox News.
I've seen more of Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck than I ever wanted to, and it's only been three days!

Stories and Writers Block
I have several stories. And lots of writer's block to go with them!
I've read where people say that you just need to sit down and get the words out, no matter how bad they sound. I can't quite wrap my brain around that concept. If it doesn't read right the first time, I assume it's trash and just junk the whole thing.
My bad, I suppose. Ah well, we'll see where this new set of stories winds up.
As for other things... new job interview completed. Let's see where it goes. Whee!

Cold Turkeys and Sunny Days
Just the facts, ma'am!
Surgery a success. Tumor removed. Bit of bone removed. Original ligaments kept. Knee stable. Medial gastrocnemius muscle transposed to cover resection site. Half the staples already out. Weight bearing again. Pain levels decreased overall. Annoying pins and needle feeling in entire foot that doc says is nerves responding to the inflammation. No chemotherapy on the table. Stopping all narcotics to try to get off of them completely.
Now the rest of it.
Life has been ... wow. Just a big bundle of wow. Good. Bad. In between.
Finished all the paperwork to try to get a Missouri License. Lots of red tape, and over 500 dollars! 300 for the Missouri State test, 80 for NAVLE score transfer, 10 for Wisconsin license 'good standing' letter, 10 for transcript from school, and then 160 to renew my Wisconsin license to make sure that I am in good standing.
Now, we just need to figure out where we're going, where I'm working, what I'm doing, and ... everything.
We have a lot of pets (5 'traditional pets', 2 'cage pets'), so finding a place to rent may be tough. Two small dogs, three cats. Two rabbits. One of whom I was planning on neutering the week after I got fired. Then I got fired. So he's not neutered. Which I don't like. But right now, really can't afford to pay for him to get neutered and I somehow can't see my former employer being the type to let me bring him in and neuter him myself. So it's going to have to wait. Until I have a job, or we can afford it.
In the last three weeks, we've been to 6 doctor's appointments. We're very good at getting D into and out of the car, knowing where to park and how to drive a wheelchair. Of significant disappointment is that the wheelchairs at the mall 1: don't have leg lifting apparatuses, 2: are only obtainable down a set of stairs (hello, I need a wheelchair. Just go down those stairs. What?) and 3: have a long red pole attached to them so you can't actually sit in them in the theater.
It has been very warm here. In fact, almost as warm here as it was in Florida when we were there! Which either means it's very very warm here, or Florida was unseasonably cold. Given that it was snowing in northern Florida at the time, I'd opt for the latter. Still, it means it's warm enough that the snow is starting to melt, and hopefully, we'll be crutch-free soon and can start taking walks with the dogs again.
I know this is a bland and boring update. Not at all fun or exciting to read. But I don't know anymore that I have things to say that are fun and exciting. Least of all for others to read! :)
On another random note: We got three helium balloons while D was in the hospital. On day 2 of having the balloons, one of them was already dying. Now, we're here, three weeks out. And the other two are still going strong. Explain that?
