Last night was actually fun even though it was a tad frustrating. I got home and showered and went next door to my parent’s place to eat supper. We ate supper, left-overs from yesterday. Mom had made a beef stew with carrots and potatoes and some green beans on the side with cornbread. Great supper; comfort food and all that. We enjoyed it more for one another’s company. Towards the end of the meal, I asked if they’d picked up my medicine for me, because Dad had offered to do so but they’d both forgotten it. So, after the meal, they headed out to get it for me while Scamp and I put the food away and unloaded and then re-loaded up the dishwasher. We meandered next door and I decided to play some Warcraft.
I got on Agaruwen, because Hothien sent her some fancy new robes, but she can’t wear them till she gains a level or two. Anyway, I’m never too crazy about getting on Agaruwen or Yaviel to do anything when Scamp is visiting, because their main questing partners are Hothien and Carandole (Scamp’s characters). But Wenny had a Warlock quest to go on that’d take her to Undercity, and even though she kinda wanted to wait for Hothien, I decided to try and do it alone if I could.
Luckily, I ran into another Warlock on the same quest, Sinbella. She had just completed the first half of the quest and told me that she had a few guild mates ready to help her complete the second part of the quest and I could join them if I wanted to. I told her I’d like to join them if it wasn’t an imposition. So, we waited for the guy that I needed to spawn and killed him. Then we ran to Taren Mill (she didn’t have the flight path) and got the flight path for her and joined up with two others. Then we ran to Hillsbrad (got a flight path there too) and then the Arathi Highlands. We got our asses tossed about through there, but we made it out all right. Then we got to the Wetlands and were looking for the guy. There was some confusion at first, but we found him quiet easily and he went down quite easily.
Then they asked if we wanted them to run us through Loch Modan to the Badlands to get the flight path there at Kargath (because flight paths just make things easier). I must say, Scamp advised against it, but I thought, we have a level 70 Warlock and a level 44 Hunter with us...and it couldn’t hurt, right? So I agreed, after all it was a generous offer. The trip through Loch Modan had me dying twice. After heading back to them the first time, we all realized that our pets were on Defensive, so when the Dwarves attacked us the pets attacked them and we were flagged. Flagged in Alliance territory. Not good for two low levels. We waited till we weren’t flagged and put our pets on passive.
Our level 70 Warlock, Zal, told us to stay very close because we were going through some dangerous alliance territory. I jokingly put that if I was any closer to her, I’d feel the need to buy her dinner. That got everyone to laugh, and the Hunter of the group said, “I like her. Can we keep her.” I think I died again right after that, but we were closer to the Badlands, so I was in the graveyard there. At that point, I was told not to come back but to get the angel rez and Zal would summon me. I did and just afterwards, Sinbella died too and was right next to me in the grave yard. So there we were, two level 22’s in the Badland’s Hoard cemetery. Zal tells us to just wait there and she’ll ask a fellow guildie (a Priest) to group with them so they can summon us. Unfortunately, while we were waiting in that cemetery, a few of the critters in the Badlands took notice of us and decided they didn’t like us there. We were killed about 5 times just in/around that cemetery alone! At one point it was almost funny. The party leader tells us not to rez at all, just to wait till she gets there and then rez and she’ll guide us back.
That worked ok…till an elemental killed me. Luckily the Priest wasn’t far away, and she just rezed me and I didn’t have to worry about the long walk back. Also, luckily, we made it to a repairer and I repaired all my items (some of which had turned red). Zal asked how much repair work I needed, cost wise and I was happy to report it was only 13 silver and 19 copper. She gave me 1 gold (which I was very happy to accept). Later she whispered me and said, “Fess up, dear, how much were your repairs really?” to which I replied that it really was only 13 silver+ and that only a handful of my items were red….then I died again (damn invisible cats) but was rezed by our priest. We finally made it to Kargath and once we got the flight path we just Hearthed home. But it was still fun in the fact that we were all on good terms. They were all really nice people, and I have them on my friends list now. Scamp says she hasn’t heard anything bad about their guild, and, in fact, she knew the hunter. So it was a fun WoW night.
During all of this, my Mom and Dad came back and dropped off my medicine to Scamp (who was the only one able to get up from their spot in front of the computer). Scamp then tells me, “By the way, your parents are home owners.” Of course, my first thought was ‘Duh’ but then I realized what she meant. They had made a bid on a house and some land in Arkansas, after all. And apparently it was accepted. So now, they’re getting ready to pack up and head up there again. Today, Mom’s spending the day with Aunt Batty (I think), but tomorrow they’re going to be packing to head up there. It’s almost like the end of an era, but I keep telling myself to think of it as potentially the beginning of something much better. Either way, things should get interesting.
And that’s what happened yesterday. Interesting evening, no? I certainly thought so. And today I have my second appointment with my Allergy doctor. Joy. I get to waste more time for him to tell me this is either something the Dermatologist should deal with or it’s all in my head. I doubt my blood work will show anything, so I’m thinking this is either a stress thing or just my skin. Either way, I haven’t been able to wear makeup for the last two weeks…and I’m much happier. At least my skin doesn’t get irritated until I start scratching, as opposed to being irritated right from the get-go because of the makeup.
I think this entry is finally complete (or complete enough). I’ve been writing during mini-breaks while I’m working, since I know I won’t be able to post at lunch. I’ll post later (if/when there’s news). Later, Sunshines.
