I hope everyone had a wonderful day of feasting and down time with their families last week. Hopefully it was filled with lots of tasty food, resting, happy times and good memories. For me, last week's holiday involved much time with my questing partner, relaxing and fun times with my crew (also much needed), a great day full of family time AND unlocking one of my big achievements that I've been working on for almost a year. Wait...what...did I just say that? I do believe that I did say that. And yes, before you ask, I posted a little earlier then usual, I was anxious and excited to share. :)
It took me eleven months, however as of Friday I can officially say, Achievement Unlocked [License to Drive]! It really makes me think of everything I've been through in the past year and realize that I have spent the year healing, fixing and getting myself to a point where I can actually adventure on my own if I need to. Has it been a good and rewarding thing for me to gain levels as an Oracle? Has it been something I needed to get through all of that and heal from my past? Has it been a wonderful to fix my life and be nearly ready to get back up and adventure (though not without my questing partner at this point as I kinda want to keep him around for a while)? Yes to all of these things. Has it been easy to get here? Any of my crew can tell you how many hours I spent agonizing, being upset, I'll admit it crying, and trying to work my way back to where I am right now. So, no. It was not an easy trip, but at least now I have this achievement and can move forward! Onward and Upward right? Next achievement up in my log on this particular chain, [Mount Up: Let's Drive!]
Let me tell you, after the amazing of last week, especially the part of lots of time with my questing partner! This week has been trying at the Wizard's Tower as well as in my daily adventuring outside of the Tower. I have had lots of code breaking and transcribing things both via communication devices and through scrolls which I have to change the format of. So lots of straining my eyes to see what other people are saying, or to make sure that I have transcribed the correct things. I even had one which had been given to me in physical form instead of the normal methods. But hey, I got it done and I am finally back to happily finding items to help those who have lost everything due to horrible evil creatures of fire or water. In other words, this little Oracle is back to my job of helping people again, of which I am a fan. :)
Outside of the Tower in my daily adventuring, I have been having some problems with sleep. I have always had some of those problems, just it seems lately they have been worsening. When in the domicile of my youth, I cannot seem to sleep early, or stay asleep long. Though I assure you my animal companion Willow, deciding that 4 in the morning is time to get up, doesn't help. Even without her "help" I tend to not sleep so well lately. I have even pushed off the alarm spell to wake me a bit later instead of getting up and dancing my way into awakeness.
If I haven't mentioned Willow Cat before, she has been my companion for the last 11 years, she is a very pretty grey and white cat, who's grey parts look like that of Pussy Willow's, hence where her name came from. Yes I know most would assume it came from a particular movie which I loved as a child, but nope, not so much. My point about her however is I love her but she is also not helping my sleeping patterns at all. Silly girl wants to get up and play, or eat at 4 in the morning when I usually have 2 hours left until my alarm spell goes off.
Another thing that has been causing the tired and just in general ugh of this week is that I have somewhat been working 2 jobs. By going home from my day job and working on my crafting skills. I'm not sure how many of you know this, however I am getting close to maxing out my Candlemaking Crafting Skill. So as I have a fun place to sell these wares on Friday I have been working overtime once I get to my domicile to grind out a few levels and make more candles. I would like to have a good amount of them for the Bazaar at the Tower this Friday. As I have been asked to make things for it. It may provide some much needed extra gold and is fun in the meantime. Though I did stay up far to late into the night to finish a few levels last night. I am hoping I do not do that tonight again.
So while I get through this week, I keep in mind that I really do have a lot of things to be thankful for and I am mostly happy. Even when things are rough, I do have so many things going my way and the way things seem to be going, I feel as though all will continue in the upwards direction. Which from my view is super happy! I am wishing everyone a fantastic week and honestly if there is ever a topic which you dear readers wish me to bring up, please feel free to let me know, either through comments, message me in private or in a way which you can get ahold or me. Write more next week, same bat time, same bat channel! <3
