Mondays: Nature’s payback for weekends

The cat wouldn’t stop meowing and howling all night.  It’s been sick for over three or four days and is just starting to feel better.  All that sleeping during that time had oviously been stored up to stay awake all freaking night.  And then when it seems that he has quieted down an amazingly loud and bright lightning storm erupts right outside our windows sending out big dog (Chini) into hysterics and climbing over us to be protected.  She’s terrified of storms for some reason and the one this morning was a doozy.  She whimpered and pushed and shook for at least an hour or more keeping us both awake even more.

Over all I don’t think either of us got more than an hour of consecutive sleep last night.  I am so wiped out today I’m barely even functional at work.  Maybe some ice cream would help.

Most of the weekend was a lost cause due to taking the cats to the vet and going back and forth to pick them up or to ask questions.  In the off times, I did a little drawing in Illustrator and then got my troll Hunter in World of Warcraft to level 50.  Leveling is so much faster than it was a year ago.  There seems to be more money available too because I’ve never had so much in game before.

When I get home tonight, all I want to do is take the dog’s out for their evening walk and then take a nap.  Eating dinner is optional at this point.  I’ll work on Thursday’s comic tomorrow.  I’m to burnt to do it today.  Today’s up on time though.  As usual.

Probably a bad thing

I… I am weak.  I’ve reactivated my World of Warcraft account.  After almost a year of not playing, I finally got drawn back in.  Well, Yoshi had a lot to do with that.  He’s evil like that.  He’s such an enabler.  And now I’m trying to get Muse to re-activate her account.  *sigh*

I know I make it sound bad but its really not.  It’s just what seems to be expected when someone admits that they are getting back into an online game that they used to play.  I don’t see it as a weakness or an evil in the least.  It’s just a game.  It can be a bit addictive at times and it certainly is a time sink, but it’s really no worse than spending hours playing “casual” games from PopCap or Reflexive.  I would just as easily spend 3 hours playing Peggle as I would Warcraft.

Anyway, if you are playing WoW and are on the Lothar server, leave a comment with your character name and I’ll see if I can find you.  However, if you play one of those evil, under-handed Alliance then I may have to try and hurt you.  Fair warning.
