bobquasit | WoW: Ride

I was up way the hell too late last night, grubbing every penny I could to get a mount for my fighter. Finally I succeeded: got him riding training and a chestnut mare. Silly as it may sound, it felt great to have him be riding around the woods! And the mare looks much better than the brown horse that my mage rides.

I was playing solo, of course. Nobody I knew was on.

I also had him train up his gun skill and two-handed axe skill. It was surprisingly fun using the gun, but I'll stick with the fine light crossbow for regular work, for now; it does more damage.

I'm so tired - I can hardly keep my eyes open!

Oh, one odd thing: I tried to complete the Humble Beginnings/Simple Compass quest, but when I got to the spot that Quest Helper was indicating, there was no compass there. Irritating!

Domac, my 10th-level paladin/tailor/enchanter, has been getting pretty good at tailoring. That's because my higher-level characters have sent her hundreds of pieces of linen and wool to work on. She can make 8-slot bags now, and replaced all her own six-slot bags. She'll do the same soon for any of my Alliance PCs who are still using any 6-slot bags.

You've been logging on much later than you were before. I spotted you on last night, just as I was turning in to bed. Kiralee and I have been heading to sleep a bit early lately because these 5:45 am wakeups are taking a toll on me (and I'm still trying to shake the tail end of this cold).

My folks are going to France for three weeks soon, so they had a family dinner in town - just them and the three kids (me, my brother, and my sister). I ended up taking a late train home, and then I had to change the kitty litter (trash night), so I didn't get on until insanely late. I'll probably be a bit late (not as much, I hope) tonight too; it's on off-schedule Cub Scout night.

Um, assuming I don't just collapse and don't play at all, which is also a possibility.

The compass should be in the armoire in the building, if this is the quest I am thinking it is.

I haven't touched WoW in a while. Too much stress lately with the custody hearing for my youngest and all that wonderful stuff. It was settled yesterday, but trying to get used to not having my kids in my house is going to be very difficult.

I looked it up, and apparently it's in a burned building? The Quest Helper arrow was a bit off, I guess. I assumed it would have that sparkle effect, but I didn't see it anywhere. Fortunately my fighter is strong enough to take on all those Delfias enemies these days.

Which means that the quest won't help me much, but I'm told it's part of a chain of quests that leads to a good ring.

I just read what happened on your journal - I'm SO sorry. Don't know what to say, but if you happen to be playing WoW sometime and feel like adventuring with any of my puny characters, please let me know. I realize that you may not be ABLE to play WoW, though.

Maybe if you have a little free time some time you could come over for a barbecue! Before it gets really cold out.

My life is what it is. The events that transpired were not initiated by me, so thus I am nothing more than a victim of my child. She will now have to face the consequences of her actions. I can do nothing more for her.

After looking at the preliminary numbers, it is seriously looking like WoW and CoH (City of Heroes) will be going the way of the dodo along with cable, internet and telephone at the house. I never would have thought I'd go from living comfortably to the poor house in a mere 4 years, but it is what it is.

I thank you for the invitation, and ask you to please forgive me if I don't make it over before the weather turns cold. We are going to stay with friends over the long weekend so that I can regain my emotional balance, which for me can be so fragile at times. After that, it's pretty much going to be a life pretty much buried in work.
