Reality Bites

I'll give the floor over to my RL counterpart for a little bit.

Hihi. I haven't forgotten about Second Life. In fact, I still try to let Elisha out of her box to play as often as I can. However, events in RL have made this difficult as of late. Nothing bad, so don't get all hoodilydoo over me-- just irritating.

First, I switched departments at my job. This isn't an irritance. :) What is, though, is the trusty happy little laptop that I used to do my work in the old department... had to stay with the old department. This significantly impacts my access to SL, as my normal desktop computer at home is in an inconvenient part of the house and runs SL rather sluggishly. So most nights I don't bother anymore unless I really need my fix. Plus, my personal life has become of rather nice happy priority after work hours (sometimes, relationships rock!) and I haven't exactly -missed- SL per se...

That doesn't mean I don't still try to get on. The workstation I now have access to on Sundays runs it... slowly. I'm afraid I really can't sail anymore, at least from that one. The stations I have access to the rest of the week run it much better, but my actually being in front of one of those is slim.

Either way, it means that 1) I'm not really on as much as I used to, nor as much as I like; B) my boats are all undergoing a good bit of overhaul and cleanup, as I'm not going to be able to sail them for a little bit; and III) no new releases for Elishious for a while, as I really have nothing I can reliably run Photoshop on anymore. This last also affects the reopening of my Mowry store, as well as helping the wonderful Indigo Mertel with finishing the rebuilt and improved Mowry Village (sorry, Ind).

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, however. I do get quarterly bonuses. If my stars align and the winds stay steady and calm, I'll have enough to buy a moderately decent laptop sometime in the first half of October; then, I'll be able to stretch out on my couch or porch (if it's still warm enough) and work on things and play and be the normal cute furball you're no doubt either used to or annoyed with.

Until then, as usual, fair winds and following seas.

Mew?

Ok, yes, let's have some tuna now, o kitty in my head.

=^_^= Keep me happy, yess, or I'll shed inside your brain.

Itchy.
