So I promised a more real update... and I'm really not sure where to begin. I'm kinda thinking of leaving it more or less behind and simply starting to update periodically with what's going on now, rather than trying to catch up with what's gone on before, so pretty much for now, that's what you get. :)
I'm getting better about pushing myself to do the housework. It helps a lot that I've had focus in the form of Chore Wars. The RL rewards we've set up are nice, but at the moment, I've just enjoyed pushing myself higher. These days, rather than hopping onto World of Warcraft immediately, or whatever, I find myself making out a list of which "adventures" I want to do that day and getting most of them done. It makes me tired a lot more easily, but that'll change as I get used to all the running around and not just sitting around lazy and fat. :) To further help, I made a second account with a new party that's solely for creative endeavors - gonna use it to help me get back on track with writing, and with my RPG rules, and with keeping my IJ updated and whatnot.
I'm a little stalled at the moment in WoW. I think it's mostly just that I'm kinda tired of my lvl 70s for the moment, since all I seem to use them for is making money for my younger characters, and I'm a bit stalled with Areli since he's at that stage I find the hardest to play - the 10 levels after 40. Once I hit 50 and start pushing a bit, I'll have things a little easier, since I can content myself with "gotta get to 60, gotta get my epic ground mount". But right now... it's just a quest grind, really. And he needs to be higher to get into levels where he can get the herbs that are useful for his alchemy, though in about a level, he should be able to hit Felwood and I know there are useful herbs there. He's already 305 in herbalism, and his alchemy is 290. Ten more points, and three more levels, and he'll be able to head up to Shattrath and train up his alchemy so that he can learn all the way up to 375.
But on the whole, Chore Wars has held my interest far more. It's been really heartening to see things getting done and staying done, since I do upkeep for fun and profit. XD Eventually, this place will be really really NEAT... and be able to stay that way! Well, maybe not that neat. But it won't be constantly messy anymore, either. *wry grin*
That's... pretty much it for now. Just me rambling as I try to get back into the swing of things.
