Beating The Slump…Lemming Style

Leave has ended, hubby is back at work, and I�m back to rebuilding my routine. Really, I have one. Honest! And I�ve had a great time, even though we pretty much stayed home and played WoW. Hey, what can I say it was relaxing, and that�s all that counts.

Friday night, I did SSC with my druid, and we downed The Lurker! It took a couple tries, but we done did it. That big fish popped like a Pinata. I think it helped that he was still belly laghing at our little lemming incident. Hint, when someone falls off the ledge on the way to lurker, even if you see your raid leader standing on what seems to be a safe place to look, do NOT look over the edge. Suddenly you hear�

player one: I fell
player2: me too
player3: me too
player4: me too
Jess: ummm ooops?

Luckily for us humor is a required consumable on a raid.

Other than SSC, I�ve been mainly leveling alts. After my warlock hit 30, we used the hubby�s rogue to get my rogue to 30. Bad idea in hindsight. That grant a level thing is nice, BUT it took me a few days to get her gear to where she could fight mobs that level. I had engineering up pretty good, so no problem there. My mining was ok too. Poisons were easy to catch up, but I�m STILL working on the lockpicking, cooking, and fishing. My mage was granted 6 levels, she�s at 27, but she had the gear to handle it.  There is a good side, the 20�s is where I tend to get stuck on my alts. No mount, only a couple zones to choose from, and all that running. So I was able to skip that, and get moving.

With my rogue at 30, I�ve been mainly working on her. I can�t put her down! Which shocks me, because I�ve tried and failed so many times as a rogue. She�s at 33 now, and I just love playing her. So, it looks like she�s next to 70. But I�m not rushing. I rushed my others to 70. My priest because we needed healers, my hunter because my priest needed gold, my druid to catch up. This time I�m being more casual. Stopping to smell the roses. Explore a little. Maybe just her, or maybe when I level the mage and warlock, I�ll do the same, who knows. But I�ve found a couple cool things.

Sadly I have to take some time away from her this morning and do some dailies. Both in game and around my house. But you can bet she�s getting 34 today!
