I hate the time change too. It really messes with my Seasonal Affective Disorder. Although I do enjoy the extra hour to sleep in. Looking forward to Fireside. I need to tweak my HA a little bit more for it,

You Won! You have defeated Nightlady 74 times! You won a(n) Extremely Hard token to use in the battle shop! Talon Karrde earned 60 EXP Points! Nightlady drops: Pink Pumpkin Seed Sticker Shriek of Despair Scroll

Woohoo! I can't believe I got 3 of those scrolls! I was shocked to even get my first one! I might stop, but she keeps dropping mage amulets too!

Wow Quentin just asked for a Crook. I've never seen a quest want a patch minion before. Wonder if fireside will start next weekend. Sure wish there was a way to categorize the outfits in our wardrobe. We used to be able to name them but not with the new wardrobe. I don't like similar ones being mixed between pages. I have a couple morostide and a couple masq outfits spread over multiple pages. Would like to put them together. They should have some way to sort or organize them.

Yep, personal progress is my main focus when it comes to battling, not really a fan of the competitive aspect where "top battlers" get xyz. We're fighting npc enemies, not each other. That's why I like the new way to get the core from hydragellos, just do x amount of damage to succeed. I worked really hard clicking for hours every day to get it the first time. The more powerful my pet gets the less time I have to spend grinding in the fight. That's my reward.

I'm hoping I can get the concoction yeah :D Finally after years of work I can finally start getting all the big bad stuff.

Did you finish up with Rouland and stuff? The challengers stayed open for like an unexpected day or more. I was trying to get through them with my second battle pet to scrape up more exp but I was also fighting lag and gave up when it was time for them to retire. Then the next day I realized they were still there and continued until my pet couldn't anymore. o.0 I made it to 10 wins on umbrus with him.

I also got in some more wins on nightlady for a total of 50. No more shrieks though..

lol I have a bad memory too. I'm being loaned some things and I kept asking to be reminded which they were before I finally marked it down myself.

Yeah! It's a nice feeling when all of your hard work and time and sP spent feels like it's starting to pay off. At least it's pretty nice too that there are a decent amount of weapons and stuff that you can earn from battling, so it's possible to get to the point eventually where you can have a good set of weapons and scrolls without having to spend millions all at once (except for some things like the Natasha, Ether, etc.). Battling is still expensive, but it doesn't feel as bad when you kind of spread out the cost over several years lol.

Yeah I just went to 10 wins against Rouland and didn't really do that much more battling with everyone else, except for some of the ones that dropped tomes and all. I was going to maybe try doing a bit more Thursday night before they left, but we started having some internet issues at home so I was kind of not online as much the past few days. Just a little bit on my phone to do dailies but that was basically it.

I also need to go update the Deadline thread now too, since I missed a few announcements while I was dealing with that lol.

I figured that since she is the only one I have loaned any weapons too that one of us would remember lol! I switched out a couple of my weapons for the MW and the core, but then I started losing :( so I switched them back. I thought they would be better then that!

For anyone who has been working on the Filled Wardrobe Achievement, Bug pushed a fix to update totals, which can be found ">here

I've been so tired, which I thought feeling tired was supposed to end in the second trimester, but here I am feeling tired almost every day. There have been a few mornings where I've slept in and I end up feeling worse after getting more sleep. I got slammed by allergies late last week, so that isn't helping anything either. It really does suck when the weather doesn't cooperate. It cooperated with us a couple weeks ago though. We needed a heavy rain so we could make sure that we patched all the leaks in the basement and we ended up getting two days of rain. That helped us find the extremely fine crack that was letting water seep in. Motivation is still coming in little spurts. We finished the layout and organization of the storage side of the craft room, which now means that we can get to work on the craft side. I'm keeping every box I empty in case they can be filled with stuff to donate. We removed a third of the carpet in that room and found another spot of black mold (where the old water heater sat), so we got that bleached. I was already overwhelmed when that room flooded twice and the water made it into the next room, but fingers crossed we hopefully have all the leaks patched inside. Yup...clear packing tape because they didn't want to send it out of state to a professional or make their youngest pay the expense. They've become more of a bother since Chris announced my pregnancy to them (more about that in the spoiler). Thanks! I'm just glad I finally made it through once, makes for one less thing to do every day on here.

SPOILER (click to toggle) Skunk spray is awful and we are constantly dealing with them spraying somewhere in front of the house. I don't know how many times this summer I saw posts on Facebook about people that had lost their dog at the lake, typically a small house dog, and they were begging people to look for their dog. I've noticed that food smells will randomly make me feel sick, but the taste won't. Like one day, the smell of roast chicken ramen will make me feel queasy, but the next day it won't. I had to stop eating Jimmy Dean breakfast roll-ups for breakfast because the texture made me feel sick, it was just too much mushiness. The other issue I've been having is increased heartburn, even from foods that never caused it before, like pizza or cookies. Thanks! hugs I have my third OB appointment next Monday and that's when I find out the gender. Still hoping for a girl cause Chris and I cannot think of a boy's name that we like. I've reached the point now where I feel nauseous if I don't eat unless I have zero appetite at all. I'm already at a point where I can't eat large meals, so Thanksgiving could be interesting. I don't feel like I have to pee all the time yet, but if Chris and I are out running errands, he's surprised when I have to go to the bathroom in every store. The in-laws have been super pushy. I'm questioning whether or not we should make a gender announcement for them when we host Thanksgiving because I know they will post it on Facebook as soon as they can. I'm not worried about my parents because they've only shared the news with people at church. MIL pitched a fit when she found out we weren't traveling to her house for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Um...sorry that neither I nor my SIL wants to travel 2 or 3 hours one way and not eat until 2 p. m. shrug She also threw a huge fit and got passive-aggressive when Chris told her that we aren't traveling to her house at all next year. She had already bought diapers and baby wipes to keep at her house for when we visited, so she gave them to Chris and made some snide comments. I wish I would have been there that day because she would have been put in her place. We still have the box of diapers (size1) and I donated the wipes to the local food bank. Chris and I are on a united front that we are not traveling anywhere over an hour away from our home next year. His mom is still hopeful that we'll cave and drive to her so we'll have to have a conversation about that sometime soon because Chris didn't outright say no when his mom brought up having us for Thanksgiving next year. I know we'll have to have a conversation about Facebook and that they cannot post pictures of our kid on there or share pictures that Chris or I post. My profile is pretty locked down, but I know that theirs isn't, plus they have 300+ 'friends' each. I've also decided that I don't want any guests in the first month, namely the in-laws because I know MIL will walk in and want to hold the baby right away. I'm fine with my parents visiting because they'll actually bring meals and help out around the house. Can't say the same for the in-laws because they had already planned to be sitting in the waiting room. Oh, and MIL has been trying to get as much info as she can after each OB appointment. She texts Chris asking how they went and he just says that everything is fine/normal. Side story about the in-laws. FIL accepted a job as a library director at a community college an hour away from Chris and I. He's been renting an apartment there, while MIL and the youngest stay in their home 2 hours away (they don't want to make the youngest transfer schools). They are just now finding out how expensive it is to pay rent, pay a mortgage, and drive the 4-hour round trip on weekends. Chris has told them they'd be better off buying a house in the new town and moving there sooner, plus the youngest would probably end up doing better at school because the teachers would actually care (he's failing math because he hasn't done any of the work other than fail tests).

I took SO MANY NAPS, when I was pregnant with my first child. I would get up, eat breakfast, nap a few hours, eat lunch, snooze for an hour afterwards and then be fine in the evening. I think it was around weeks 20-23 when I felt I had more energy. Pizza would give me heartburn too and sometimes even water (weird, I know)! I cannot stand the smell of Pepsi to this day. I blame my first pregnancy for that one.

SPOILER (click to toggle) I'm sorry your in laws are being awful about this, but standing your ground is important and I'm glad your husband is on your side. That's the most important thing. Don't let them bully you into feeling guilty.

I was tired through my whole pregnancy! Take as many naps as you can!! Being sick on top of that is just awful, and the only thing I could take was medicine for kids. That did not help at all :( I hope you feel better soon hugs Oh geeze! I hope you found all of them! Wow that is terrible. Stay safe Hun! Ugh the kid needs to learn, and they are obviously not willing to teach him. He will have to learn the hard way in the real world! Yeah I haven't even bothered since I did it. Most of the time I totally forget about it lol.

SPOILER (click to toggle) The other night I opened to door to go out shopping with Emily and their was a huge skunk out on the walkway! I just yelled back inside and slammed the door! I kept thinking "PLEASE DON'T SPRAY!!" Thankfully it just ran off. Oh no the poor doggies :( Smells were bad for me too! I worked as a cleaner until I was over 8 months pregnant, and sometimes the smells of chemicals would make me so sick! I had to be very careful. That can get bad too. It is so weird how much your body changes. Deff talk to your doc about it. I am sure a lot has changed since I was pregnant. New meds and stuff. fingers crossed for a girl :D I always guess that people are having girls for some reason lol. Any odd cravings? For some reason I wanted Arby's and I am not a huge fan. Always a good idea to scope out where all the bathrooms are lol. I wouldn't tell them anything! I don't get why they think this is their "15 minutes of fame" or anything. That is just crazy :( I am so sorry you have to deal with her! She just sounds awful. Deff stand your ground. If you give in even a tiny bit now, she will keep pushing forever!! They need to understand boundaries and respect them. Especially when it comes to your baby! Yeah the inlaws seem like way more trouble then they are worth! Are people even allowed to hang around in the hospital? I know they aren't allowed to here. I love how they just make up plans all on their own and expect you to go along with it! I would just tell them to stay home and you will call them when it is all said and done. I don't blame him at all. I wouldn't want to tell them anything either! Oh geeze they would be closer to you?!?!? Ugh! At least now they can hopefully understand why you guys don't want to make that trip too often! Get plenty of rest and try not to stress (easier said then done), but you and your health come first. Do what is best for you and F their feelings! Stay strong and safe hugs

Think Fireside will start this weekend? With the awful last days of morostide we're ready for something that hopefully works and it's starting to get boring.

That would be nice if it did. It would definitely give us something to do before Lumi. We'll see though. I agree, I hope it's more stable than Morostide. It should be though, not a lot of strain on the servers like Morostide (I think).

I really should take more naps. I don't because I feel like I've wasted time and can't get other things done around the house, even though my husband has told me multiple times he has zero issues with me not getting stuff done. I'll be 20 weeks next week, so maybe I'll start getting more energy back. I've noticed I've been getting random pains/injuries lately though, like last night I somehow hurt the side of my foot while either walking or sitting. Water gives me heartburn too! I have to make sure I don't drink any water after 9 otherwise it will give me heartburn. I've discovered that sleeping on my left side cancels out the heartburn though. I can't stand the smell of my husband's sweat now, so I guess I'll find out if that still bothers me next year.

SPOILER (click to toggle) Thanks. I'm really glad my husband has my side and he has no qualms about hurting his mom's feelings if it means putting me first. My in-laws will never be able to bully me into feeling guilty or changing my mind. They showed their true colors during my husband's deployment three years ago. The biggest thing they would bully us about would be our stance on not traveling 2 hours to visit them next year. MIL has tried comparing it with how she traveled to see family after she had my husband, but they were only driving for 30 minutes tops.

I wasn't tired at the start, but man it's like I can't get enough sleep and what little caffeine I can have does nothing. I really need to get better about taking naps and not feeling guilty about 'wasting time'. Being sick during this time is awful. I've got a list of medications that I can take, but I still don't want to take them constantly. hugs I'm starting to feel better though since I've been avoiding foods with corn byproducts in them (I'm pretty sure that's what triggered this reaction), my nose is less runny so I don't have to sit next to a box of tissues all day. I believe we have found all the leaks. We had a smaller rain last week and didn't find any water on the floor, but it's going to take another big rain to know for sure. We can't get anyone out until after Thanksgiving to dig out the wall so we can patch the outside cracks. Once those are patched we shouldn't have to worry about it anymore. It's awful and I have a feeling we're going to find more moldy spots of carpet in that room. Good thing we have Lime-away and Killz spray to get rid of any mold we find. I won't feel 100% comfortable in that room until I know all traces of mold are gone. It'll end up being that he learns in the real world, but that will depend on if he even moves out of the house after he graduates high school. Hubby and I both doubt that he will.

SPOILER (click to toggle) I'd have done the same! I came across a skunk while I was feeding my horse one morning. I sat in the pickup until it ran off to the barn. I've been in a vehicle that's been sprayed by a skunk, and it wasn't a fun drive. I don't think I could stand it if I had been sprayed. My mom has come across a few skunks in the barn that don't spray and just wait patiently for breakfast. Cleaning sprays are too strong for me to be around now. I had to clean up a mess the cats made in the dining room and ended up wearing a mask to block out the smell of the Lysol. At my first OB appointment, I was given a list of medications that are safe to take, so I've been sticking to that list but also taking the meds in moderation. I can take Pepcid and Tums for heartburn, but so far the Tums have been more effective. Thanks! I'm trying not to wish too strongly for one gender over the other, but I'll admit I will be slightly disappointed if I end up having a boy. I've only had cravings for certain meals during the week and then once I've had it, the craving is gone. Like one week I really wanted chicken noodle soup, another night I really wanted pizza. I am kinda craving Taco Bell at the moment but the nearest one is an hour away. My mom said she craved okra all the time when she was pregnant with me, to the point that she now hates okra. Totally! And I know which stores to avoid the bathrooms in due to the smells, like the one at the nearest mall and the front bathroom at Walmart. I'm leaning towards not telling them the gender, but I'll discuss it with Chris first to get his opinion. If we did tell them, they would also be told that they can't post it on Facebook because I'm tired of them using it as a way to get attention. It was ridiculous when they both made a post sharing that Chris and I are expecting, they had so many people telling them congrats, but not once did the in-laws say that they would pass the congrats on to us. I don't get why the in-laws are so glued to Facebook and have to constantly share every bit of news in their life. MIL also threw a fit because she set up a crib at her house for us to use on visits...the baby isn't due until April, so slow down lady! Oh, I know we have to stand our ground and that we can't give any kind of answer that could be interpreted as a maybe. The answer is either yes or no. Right now it seems like they only care about themselves and that they'll be grandparents next year, probably imagining themselves as the greatest grandparents ever. I had really hoped they wouldn't go this crazy, but now I just hope they don't go completely crazy. I don't know if anyone will be allowed to wait in the waiting room. I haven't toured the labor wing at the hospital yet, but I'm supposed to schedule labor when I check-in for my ultrasound on Monday. I already plan on having only Chris in the delivery room. Chris told his parents we didn't want any visitors for two weeks, so no point in them waiting at the hospital. Depending on how I feel, the two weeks may get extended out to a month of no visits from the in-laws, especially if they get pushy. I don't think I even want Chris to call or text them when the baby is born because they'll just post it on Facebook right away or start demanding pictures that will then go on Facebook. Yeah, in two years they will be closer to us, but I don't expect them to start visiting us more since they haven't been able to grasp the concept of interstate goes both ways in the 4 years Chris and I have lived here. Oh, they don't care about us spending money on fuel to travel to them, they only care about how much they have to spend on fuel to see each other over the weekend. Thanks hugs I need to get better about taking naps when I need them and I def need to stress less, especially over little stuff around the house.
