Weird ass dream last night.

You'd think that with the weather being so cold the past few days I'd dream of freezing or of snow. But nope, I dreamt of rain. Lots and lots of it.

Basically the planet was flooding. My dream-self had the chance to pack up a few things and then board a bus. A really big bus, which, by the way, could drive under water and float, too. So I'm on this bus with some dream-friends and we drive to The City, where we stop to buy things. And then we drive to some road, and it starts to rain. Soon enough we're driving/floating through water. Making stops at "islands".

I suppose it could have been a really interesting dream, but I'd been asleep since 9pm (yes, I went to bed early last night), and Jer was snoring. Kept interrupting my sleep.

But anyway.

Kid things: Audrey's 2nd tooth punched through. She's also quite the bird when it comes to jar food. She's been POed over the whole confined to the playpen thing lately. Can't leave her in there for a few minutes without her pitching a fit. She absolutely has to be on the floor. But she can't be on the floor in her bouncer center, either. She has to be able to pull herself up to play with the toys. We're introducing the sippy cup this week, I think.

Mikey... has the habit of rummaging through mommy's bag looking for her GBA when he cannot find his. >.<

Friday night there was no sign of half our static PT, so I took Jez to the jungles, hoping to level BLM. I wound up in a forming party which had this other BLM that was a real piece of work. There were no WHMs, so we were asked to carry the healing burden. I have no problem with helping out, only one of my jungle parties actually had a WHM in it, so I was used to it. His response?

"I refuse to heal anyone" other than himself. o.O
"If people start dying, I'm warping out of there." O.O

In the jungle, 1 BLM does not come close to equaling 1 WHM. (Unless you're my sunday night party, I'll get to that later). And I said that. But after listening to this kid... I warped back to Kazham and switched to my WHM. Rode back out. Took the PT a few moments to notice the change, though. I was pretty flabbergasted over some of the things this guy was saying though. Naryumage, or something like that was his name. A real piece of work.

Things didn't go too badly. The BLM had no sense of hate control, that's for sure. Didn't quite understand "debuffing" either, so I was doing debuffing, then curing. He DCed on us and we replaced him pretty much instantly. With a SMN, I think. He came back eventually and one of the other parties picked him up. A party that happened to have an LS-mate in it. Should have heard him when they invited the idiot.

So Friday night I got WHM from whatever it was to 1K to 30. I got to wear my new equipment!

Saturday my sinuses were bothering me, so I wound up sleeping all day.. and night. I started feeling better around 4am Sunday, so I just stayed up at that point. Let Jer sleep in, took care of the kids. We went to the mall around noon, and I got a new pair of walking shoes. Gotta start using that treadmill.

We were still missing half the static, so I took Jez back to the jungle again, this time intent on leveling BLM. After waiting about an hour I got an invite, but was told I'd be the only healer. But not to worry, the PT was pretty good. It was PLD, THF, THF, DRG, & SAM.

Well what to do you know, I was doing very little curing. We were chaining Mandies like mad, too. I had privately offered to the PT leader that once I hit 29 I'd warp back and switch to WHM. As long as the 26 SAM didn't mind the exp hit. Well, it wasn't until after BLM hit 30 that I went to switch. And that was after the SAM had fallen asleep and auto-disconnected! [We had a good laugh over that.]

We did pretty well after I switched to WHM, too. Got to work on my enfeebling and divine skills quite a lot. Party makeup switched around a bit, but we spent most of it with 5 people. We grabbed a BLM from a neighboring disbanded party. Got a NIN when the DRG had to leave. Or was that when one of the THFs had to go? Don't remember. And after bit Jer came as BLM to fill the 6th spot. So we were really ripping through Mandies and Gobs. The PLD had to go, so it was just 5 of us for awhile, but we were having hate problems with 2 blms. And the PT behind us creeped up on our mage-line so we were being put to sleep on a regular basis.

But overall, WHM 32, BLM 30.

So yesterday I thought, hey, lets take Mery's NIN to the jungle.

Bad idea. Waited awhile for an invite. Once I got one, it was a pt with me, 2 RDMs, THF, SAM (or MNK). They were trying to fill the 6th slot. RNG, THF or BLM, he asked... I suggested BLM, especially as it was Jer. But a WHM had popped on, in Yhoater, no less, so one of the RDMs was insisting on the WHM. No response from the WHM, so the leader invited Jer. Meanwhile, the RDM gets a response out of the WHM and insists on the WHM...For some reason, the leader gave her leader and she invited the WHM. >.< With a member on the way...

So I'm pretty tweaked. Not only am I tweaked, but we have no heavy damage dealers. And our necessary WHM was MELEEING. The RDMs are all meleeing and rarely debuffing (and those never stuck). I was doing Poison and Blind with Ninjitsu. So who was awake to wake us up? No one. So this mandy is wailing on me...

The RDM that was the PITA had to go, and took the SAM with her. Ok, fine. We got a 30 THF (for SATA) and Jer. Time for faster kills! We convinced the WHM to stay out of battle, "but I wanted to level my club.. they're so easy to kill". Easy to kill when you have some heavy damage dealers!

But things went much better after that. But I was still so sleepy that after the RDM leveled and the WHM was leaving, I was leaving too, while they waited for replacements.

I was just so tired, I was going to take a short nap, then come back to fish ('cause I'm a broke mithra/taru), but I slept all night. ^^

Fishing tonight. Need gil.
