12 to 100, trim till you puke

12-100

Last night on the way home I picked up Sadie for an extended stay as Ali is out of town for a few days.  It’s always fun to have her there and today she will get to hang with Cindy all day.

I had an impressive virtual achievement last night that will mean absolutely nothing to anyone that has not played World of Warcraft.  I finished up getting my last character to max level of 100, meaning I now have a monk, mage, priest, warrior, death knight, druid, hunter, rogue, warlock, shaman, and paladin at max.  I actually have 12 100’s since I also leveled Cindy’s druid to 100, even though she doesn’t play. 🙂

Now being at max level in reality is really only the start of where the game begins for most people where you begin doing high level stuff in the quest to equip your virtual self in gear that makes you stand above others in both power and visuals.  However with this many level 100s, the time required to do this with 12 characters would literally be impossible to find so instead I will pick a few that I want to focus on from this point forward.

I announced my accomplishment to Cindy last night.  She did a good job of expressing fake excitement for me.  I love that she encourages me to participate in mindless entertainment from time to time to help balance the non-entertaining portions of life.

I have targeted Saturday as tree trimming day.  A forecast low temp of 65 degrees was the lowest I saw in the 10 day forecast so I am going all in, hoping to get out there nice and early with my brand new loppers.  Cindy has an event she is going to first thing tomorrow so that will allow me to get a good head start on the trimming and then allow me to double back and help her with the equally grueling task of picking up all the cut fronds and other organic matter to dump it in the back of the property.

The grass is overdue for weed whacking and I have a number of other ancillary chores that could get done as well.  When you have a monster job on the menu like tree trimming it has a way of sucking the energy to do much else out of you.
