It's Been A Monday

[crossover_chick]

-->Wake up this morning to surprisingly-chilly temperatures (57 when I caught the bus)

-->Get caught in the WORST TRAFFIC JAM on 95 that I have seen in ages -- the highway was practically a parking lot. What made this worse was
A) it looked to be all over one car that had some problems
B) I heard the dispatcher TELL the driver to "take an alternate route" over the radio -- AND SHE DROVE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN THING ANYWAY!! I swear, this ALWAYS happens with 65 in the morning. ARE THEY TOO FUCKING STUPID TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO AVOID THIS SHIT?!
Anyway, yeah, I was actually genuinely frightened I might miss the last bus that could get me to school on time (fortunately, this was not the case)

-->Of course, all of this led to an abbreviated queue, instead of the nice solid one I like to have during school days

-->Aaand it appears my mouse is on its way out -- I had to fight with it during lunch and during the afternoon to get it to actually work. I think something in the cord may be kinked -- either that or it's just starting to die. It's a year and a half old, by my count. I've got it working now, but this is just annoying.

-->And no, I still don't have the Pearl or the Kite. If I could shake my Seaweed and Snow dragons, I would.

I suppose I should list some of the nicer things that have happened too, just to keep me from going into full "strangle everyone" mode:

-->Leveling up my Warlock against the Innkeeper in Hearthstone is going well -- I think I'm ready to take Gul'dan out into the field against real players. We'll see how I do. (I deliberately avoided real matches to keep myself from getting angrier.)

-->I did hatch my Blue Moon in DragonVale earlier -- came with the name Galileo, but I'd already decided she had to be named Luna since, well, she's a unicorn dragon associated with the moon. . . I have a second Moon coming out soon, so I'll probably name that one Galileo.

-->Had a decent writing day -- ended up doing a section that I didn't originally think I should show but decided would work better as "on-screen." Writing Bonejangles as looking like his fleshy self and Lizzie's reaction to same is fun. :P

-->Despite my computer problems, actually managed to keep up reasonably on replies, go me.

-->I believe I'm the first one to finish all the Access assignments for the first chapter in my Office Skills class. :D Go me again.

All right, I have some blushrooms to harvest/grow, then I need to take my shower and dive back into replies. Later, everyone!

Is there maybe another bus you could take if that one always has problems? Even if it's earlier, you may avoid traffic a little more and if you arrive early you'd have some time to kill and relax before class? I know getting up early sucks, but sometimes it's a necessary evil. If not, well, then just ignore my rambling. :)

Anyways, like I edited last night, Blue Moon get and now I owe Milton an apology for thinking his level 13 wouldn't get me anything. ^^,

The Moonstruck hatched and came with the name Wocky and I decided to keep it this time since I already have a Jabber. The Seasonal will hatch tonight but I'll probably be asleep so I'll have it tomorrow morning; the Blue Moon will hit the Nursery then, too.

I'm trying for the Summer for lack of a better idea currently, but no luck yet. Once the Blue Moon's out I may try for a Crypt as it's the last Cold dragon I need.

That's it for now. I'll be back later with the Colosseum update. Edit: Ma-Ti won a Gold, threw Gogo into Earth.

There is a 6:45 I could take, but to be honest about 98% of the time the 7:00 65 works out just fine. Hell, even if I don't get my preferred bus, I'm usually right on time for one of two buses that will still get me to school on time with a minute or two free before class. It's just rare moments like these that make me want to tear my hair out -- and let's face it, that's more the fault of RI drivers who have to gawk at everything.

*pats Milton* Good boy. :)

LOL -- now we both have a Jabber and Wocky. XD I should see if I can get a Seasonal or Summer myself now that I've knocked down most of the dragons I was trying for. Either that or do the last of my dark hybrids and arrange them attractively. I should also probably give the Jade a try -- though I don't want to leave Avon's habitat making nothing while he breeds. Guess it's time for more Current tries!

Firework is live, too. Fire + Air.

[crossover_chick]

Yeah, I saw -- thinking of doing Fire + Air/Metal, because that also gives me a chance for a Sulfur.
