Leveling While Healing the Sick

Last night was a different experience for me. I was supposed to log on and play with my work buddies. Then my youngest started with the sick thing - you know, fever, crying, etc. One must have their priorities. So, down went the children's Tylenol ®, the appropriate cooing, oohing and such. When the baby was down, I was on and running.

Since I couldn't in good conscious hold back my buddies, I started running my green quests in Dustwallow, near Mudsprocket. They way it worked out, I was able to run a single quest and then turn it in before the youngun woke back up. Then I would follow the process again. I ended up hitting 43 and moving a quarter of the way to 44 before junior became inconsolable. So I logged and spend the rest of the night walking the floor with my boy.

If I had to make a choice between WoW and my family, there would be no contest. Family first isn't just a motto. I am glad I haven't had to make that choice.
For those who might be interested, the youngun was diagnosed with RSV. He is our fifth and this is our first go-around with this issue. My understanding is that it can be pretty serious if not caught early. Fortunately we caught it early.

Update

First off, I joined the Blog Azeroth community. I think in will be a great resource for bloggers as well as those who like to read blogs and want to find more. Perhaps someone will even read my humble offerings.

Moving from there, as you read through the archived posts you will see names of toons that no longer exist. I am still an alt-aholic. I have simply consolidated all of them onto two servers. Arygos and Llane. And the only reason I play on Llane is because that is where my bro. plays.

Further than that, I have come across a new experience. There are 3 other guys at my work - on my team even - who play wow. It has been even more enjoyable to play with people I know from RL. It has shamed me, however, into (mostly) playing only one toon - Mieczlabana.

I do have to say that I'm enjoying the leveling, though. And when I find myself in a slump - a place where previously I would have switched to another toon - I focus on the fact that the guys with whom I work are already outpacing me. I can't afford to stop. Interestingly enough, as I push through the "pain", I find that I hit another stretch of fun.

Now the only time I am playing alts is when I die in a place where rezzing at the spirit healer is really the only option. And I sure as heck aint gonna play with rez sickness.

I will introduce you to my other toons as we go along.

So, for now, "buck up little camper", and I'll see you in Azeroth.

Back from the Hiatus

So, I've been gone a while from the blog scene. I'd give a mea culpa but I don't think anyone is reading, so the only one missing out is me.

Since I last wrote, I have dropped most (if not all) of my toons. I am working on my Ally shaman, Mieczlabana. We ding'd 42 tonight.

I also have been playing with some guys from work. Shout out to Ipfreelee, Fireshaper, and Moneyshott.

I also heard about blog azeroth. Ima check into it. Sounds interesting.

Thats all for now - night.
