Mommy, I don't feel so good...

I'm suffering from some sort of intestinal bug. It came upon me Tuesday in the form of egg-burps. Not too bad, just annoying. Also annoying was the need to go to the bathroom, but be unable to do so. So I went to bed early (2amish). Woke up at 6am to pee from my butt. That's right, my colon took the night off and decided that absorbing water from my waste wasn't needed. I still felt eggy. I spent the morning waking up every hour to go poo. At noon I called out, mostly because I didn't think I could make it to work without having to pull over and find a toilet. Went back to sleep, woke up several times, did the usual, waking up with a migraine (I hadn't had any caffeine yet!). Stomach hurts, too. Stomach still hurts. I'm functional out of sheer force of will today. I've barely eaten anything in the past 2 days now.

One of the radio stations I listen to is gone. Jer told me last night. I would have found out if I'd gone into work as I listen to it on the way in. HFS as the alternative rock station is suddenly no more. It's gone Spanish. I guess it's a good thing I got that iPod for xmas...

Friday night's static was ... a night full of mishaps. Our RNG was having problems, so we'd picked up an RDM and went to Gustav Tunnel for a change. I was pulling. Our problems started when we realized that we were on top of a gob spawn point. We also weren't getting much in the way of exp. It wouldn't have been so bad if our BLM hadn't had a brain freeze night and miscast on the wrong mob. Eek! We gave up after our pickup RDM D/Ced after he leveled... >.<

I didn't have to work too late Saturday, so we planned on trying again around 11pm. Only our BLM and PLD were nowhere to be found. We'd already replaced our missing RNG w/an LS member who was doign SMN. So after a bit of searching, we got a RNG and a NIN tank. Yay! I didn't have to pull! We went back to the desert, but to western at the mountain. In 3 hours we got 10.4K exp. I went from 42 to level 44. /hurray

We were starting to drag so we called it quits.

At anyrate, Jez's BLM & WHM are both 28. I was trying for 29 last night, but never made it. I wanted to do BLM, but offered to change to WHM for the sake of the PT. No WHMs were searching. After a bit my stomach started to hurt so bad that I got Jer to play me for a bit. Not too long after I came back to play me, the tank had to leave. No new ones were available and one of the RNGs was 500 tnl. So we figured we'd 5 person a couple of Mandies. Shouldn't be that hard, right?

Wrong. Our RDM cast Blizzard on a White Lizard. Got himself slaughtered. Now we have a mad lizzard. Who does the liz come after now? My poor barely 300 HP Taru WHM, that's who. I barely make it out of camp before I'm dead. I have no idea what the remaining 3 members did, but they all survived whatever happened. The RDM HPs.... then disbands. Without a word. That's what really pissed me off. You know, death happends, people make mistakes. All there is to do is to apologize, fix your macros, and go on with life. But running like a coward after a stupid mistake is unforgiveable. What was even more horrible... was the PT leader was an LS-mate of his! I was promised the dude was gonna get a talking to. I want to slap the little shit when I see him next.

But the PT disbanded and I was left to HP. I promptly changed to BLM. Found a PT chaining mandies and some gobs for a little while (although one of the gobs killed half the pt). It disbanded, I waited for a bit, then gave up. It was time to do a BCNM!

I logged to Mery and headed for Bastok. We were doing "The Worms Turn". After a bit of waiting and killing of turtle-backs, we got started. The first try was a wash. The PLD got killed a couple of times. I wound up tanking for awhile, but the NM worm just wouldn't die. I finally bit the dust, then our RNG and RDM. Jer (WHM) and the BLM made it out. Ram (RDM) and I HPed to Jeuno... before we found out that we'd be discharged from the circle after 3 minutes. D'oh. So we rethought our strategy during the wait.

And tried again. This time it wasn't so bad. We were down to 4 worms when the PLD D/Ced. Uh-oh, that's ok. We're almost done. We finally killed all the worms at 28 Minutes & 30 Seconds. Time Limit was 30 minutes. And then we got a crappy drop out of it. Stuff we got was worth about 60K.

But we're gonna try again next week.
