… that so short a weekend be so complicated, yet give me such a smile. I guess the answer lies in contrasts — a thing is defined by it’s highs and it’s lows, it’s to and fro’s. The breadth between these two extremes are what we experience as sensation, emotional or otherwise.
On the one hand, work has been putting it’s extra large clowny foot in my ass. I’ve worked 11-12 hours almost every day for 2 weeks straight. I worked last weekend. I worked this weekend. This gives me only one day with which to get the house attended to, budget, shopping, and all that stuff. However, it’s the only day that I get to relax and collect my thoughts. These two things: need to do things and want to do NO things is ever at war. haha Thankfully, now that inventory is over, things should return to normal.
My WoW account got hacked, though how… I have no idea. The perpetrator did nothing but spam chat channels. My guess is that they hacked the account, saw that I only play on weekends and have no more than 100g on any character and no characters above 60, and logged off in disgust. Yes, I am aware that my armor is NOT on par with my level, but it looks so much cooler even if it is about 8 levels below what I should be wearing. Fashion beat out function, stats, and armor class any day! (Unless I’m doing a dungeon run.) On the other hand, the matter was handled quickly by blizz who put a 3 hour suspension on the account and immediately reset the password. I changed it, logged in, and continued play without further incident.
This weekend also brought some very interesting changes in things… an old friend, one that I called a brother once, came by. I’ll call him Frisious for now. Through various dramatic chapters in a turbulent and rocky past he has more or less vanished. This weekend, much to my surprise AND delight, he came by for some swordplay. We sparred in the back for about 30 minutes or so before we were both so winded that neither could continue (yes, I’m a bit rusty from the winter!). We talked for a bit on the couch and after a while took his leave. Very, very cool. Anyone who reads this blog knows how much I bitch about not having anyone to train with or do pad work, ect. so this marks a very auspicious occasion for me.
My daughter continues to walk more and more. Her standing and steps are growing more sure and stable. It’s a small thing, really, but it gives me quite a bit of joy. My woman’s belly grows with the coming of our second daughter. This too gives me great joy. It’s also passing strange that her body seems more soft and more comforting than when she is not pregnant. haha Still, I think this will be our last child. Unless I win the lottery (I AM trying) or a better job comes along. I’d still like to move us somewhere else, but that’s fairly unlikely.
Oh! I’m measuring up for some custom armor! Ordering the helmet tonight (it’s on sale)! Does life get better than this?
I was going to make an entry about some profound philisophical and spiritual things I’ve been thinking about, but alas… I digress. and gladly. There is entirely too little joy in the measure of a persons life, so when you get the chance to sit and bask in it — you seize that moment! If there is anything that we Cerus know (the more I think about it, the more I think I belong there), it is that moments like these are fleeting, and all the more beautiful for it.
