Level 100!

I’m really happy as I got my Night Elf Priestess Danni to level 100 this morning. I’m kinda overwhelmed with all the stuff there is to do. So far I know I want to finish all the zone quests, search for all the hidden treasures, kill all the rare mobs,  level all my professions to 700, do the pet battles in my garrison, level my garrison buildings and heal all the dungeons in a guild group, preferably on heroic. That should keep me busy for a bit 😛

I’ve also managed to fix my problems with Minecraft. Turns out there’s a problem with the latest Java and going back to an older version fixed the crashes I was having. Yay! Sammie and her friend want me to play on the Minecraft server on Friday so I have that to look forward to.

My health seems to be improving a bit. Not only can I spend a lot of time on my computer, but I’m also able to be propped up more in bed. If I’m still doing well tomorrow I’ll be trying to sit on the edge of the bed (with Johan helping) to try and build up my tolerance again. I’m also finding reading a bit easier now. I still have the cold of doom but it does seem to be slowly easing up.

I got my blood results back from the hospital and it turns out I’m malnourished. Various deficiencies which I’m pretty sure are caused by not being able to eat properly for far too long. The doctor has recommended supplements and help from the dietician. I’m wondering though if it’s being worsened by my digestive system forgetting how to do its job a lot of the time. If I get that sorted though I’m hoping it’ll mean I feel a bit better, even though I know it won’t fix everything. The penguins are telling me I need more fish. I agree with them.

Sleeping pattern is still back to front. Not too worried about it but I’m trying to push it back as that works better for me than trying to bring it forward. If I can get it closer to normal I don’t know how long it’ll last but it’ll make playing with Sammie much easier so it’s worth it.

Penguins still exist. I have good friends. There are amazing people who I love and who love me. I’ve been able to do loads for me. Today is a good day 🙂

Java Fail

For some reason Java keeps crashing on my computer when I’m running Minecraft. Very annoying but I’m not with it enough to fix it today. Maybe tomorrow.

I’ve played Minecraft with Sammie today (when I could stay in) and then went into World of Warcraft for more levelling. The queues were much shorter today (about 20 minutes) and there was a lot less lag. Yay! I’ve managed to get to level 96 which isn’t bad going for me 🙂 Much of the guild are close to or level 100 now, which is awesome. Johan is the best geared in the guild, which is cool (though it’s only heroic level stuff so it’ll probably change when raiding starts).

I’m well enough for my computer (obviously) which I’m super happy about but touch and stuff is being really problematic. I want computer a bit more right now but if it continues for more than a few more days I’ll have to sort something out.

Got a letter from my consultant today. Mentioned I’d a previous positive ANA test (news to me) and now have probable POTS (not surprised). Also says fatigue of unknown origin, which is fair enough. I’ve been referred to Professor Julia Newton so hopefully she’ll be able to help (I know a lot of people who have asked to be referred to her so I’m feeling very lucky it has happened for me without having to ask, and that she’s not far away).

I’ve got a couple of blog drafts I want to finish, but all brain power currently going into computer gaming related stuff (or talking to very important people). I’m sure I’ll manage it at some point 🙂

Long Wait

I’m used to waiting for things. Waiting for appointments, waiting for a hoist, waiting for drinks, waiting for painkillers, being ill involves a lot of waiting. Today my long wait has been to get into World of Warcraft.

It’s been 2 hours so far since I joined the queue, and I’m still not in (though it’s saying I’m 54th and there should only be a 2 minute wait… hopefully). I’m getting rather impatient 🙂

Other than trying to get into WoW, today I’ve eaten salad and fruit (probably not the best since I’m losing weight, but I wanted it), and played Minecraft with Sammie and her friend. I built a maze 🙂

Tomorrow I hope to play again with her, but we’ll see how I am. I’ve been lucky to manage the computer so much with this cold the last few days 🙂

Level Up!

So last night I did eventually get onto World of Warcraft and start the quests for the new expansion. I’m really enjoying it. I probably stayed up far too late doing so and got to sleep again about 11am, after my Collector’s Edition arrived. The art book is very heavy so I’ll need help to look at it, but I’m really looking forward to it. I’m using my new Blackhoof mouse mat with my computer and Johan is going to rip the soundtrack for me 🙂

When I came off the computer this morning, I was level 92. I’m still in Shadowmoon Valley, and keep being distracted by Garrison quests and Archaeology (which I’ve already got to 700). I’ve still not got any gear upgrades but that’s okay as I did have (old) flex raiding stuff from Mists of Pandaria.

This evening I woke up about 7pm feeling pretty good for me. I had a few problems getting in at first, so I played a game of Hearthstone while I was waiting for it to calm down. It seems the lag is getting better now. I’m really happy I’ve been able to go on the computer and play two days in a row. I’m hoping this will continue, though I won’t be upset if it doesn’t. These have been really good days and I want them to continue 😀

Johan only slept about 3 hours this morning. He fell asleep about 7am and woke up for the postman just after 10am 😛 He seems happy though.

When I eventually crash or reach level 100 I might blog about something else, but until then I’ve got more levelling to do 🙂

Warlords of Draenor!

Today was much better than yesterday. Woke up about 4.30am needing painkillers again, so Johan gave me them then we spent an hour or so talking about random stuff. I went back to sleep about 7.30am and woke up around 2.30pm feeling much better than I had.

I went on my computer about 5pm and spoke to Sammie for a bit, then suddenly felt really ill and needed an anti-emetic or I was going to throw up 🙁 I think there was too many noises for my head to process, so I’ll find a way to talk to her without that next time. After that kicked in the carer was due so played Cards against Humanity with Esther and Johan on the telly, then the carer came and I changed into a clean nightie.

I went back on my computer again and started downloading the lollipop image for my Nexus 10. It’s so pretty! I’m hoping to get root on it later with a modded kernel, so I can put all my backups on.

World of Warcraft Warlords of Draenor was released at 11pm, but this is all I get:

You have been disconnected from the server.
You have been disconnected from the server.

So I’m not happy. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get on before I need to come off. Luckily with waking up so late I should be okay for a couple of hours. At least I’ve got setting my tablet to keep me occupied while I wait…

Edit 11.47pm: I’m on Draenor! Yay!
