Ten Again

Today was Day 19 of the Fall pollen season. The pollen count was 10 again. Yesterday was 11.1, and the day before was 10.5. I’ve been trying to get things done, but can’t do much. Sweeping a small part of the floor made me dizzy. I’m uncoordinated and almost fall over when I get up. My sinuses hurt so bad I can’t stand it.

The only good thing about today was that the heat wave appears to be going away. So, there’s that.

This Pollen Count Goes to 11

This pollen count goes up to 11…. and then goes higher and ends up at 11.1. Today was Day 18 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. It is the most painful day so far.

Season Journey Chapter III (Season 11)

Qiwoot is a hardcore Monk that found the Horadric Hamburger in Whimsydale, which he visited while he was working through Chapter II of the Season Journey. He is wearing the two pieces of the Raiment of a Thousand Storms set that he earned by completing Chapter II.

In this blog, I focus on Qiwoot’s adventure through Chapter III of the Season Journey. It went much faster than the previous Chapters, mostly because I was able to complete many of the objectives long before I unlocked Chapter III.

The Heat Wave Continues

Today is Day 17 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. The pollen count has passed ten. Tens are painful. My way of coping with this horribly high pollen count was to get a bunch of paid work done after the sun went down, and then go to sleep with the window AC on.

Whimsydale

Whimsydale is the most colorful place in all of Diablo III. It’s got rainbows, and happy clouds. You can find at least one diabolic-yet-cute piñata in there somewhere. There are pastel colored ponies and teddy bears that…. want to kill you.

When I first heard about Whimsydale, I thought it was the dumbest thing ever. How could something so, well, whimsical be part of Diablo III? The whole idea felt wrong to me. Later, after visiting Whimsydale, I changed my opinion. I now find it to be very amusing.

Heat Wave

Today is Day 16 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. We are having a heat wave. How hot was it? So hot that our cockatiels – which are tropical birds – needed a fan. Today was at least as humid today as it was yesterday, and the pollen count is higher than yesterday. I am miserable.

It is bad enough to be struggling through a pollen count of 9.7. I didn’t need the extra pain from the heat and humidity. One more day of swollen joints in my hands and feet.

It is too hot today for me to think clearly. My sinuses are on fire, and I’m going to have to take more allergy medication soon. And then, I will have even less ability to think clearly or do anything productive.

Season Journey Chapter II (Season 11)

I’m still moving slowly through Season 11. For some reason, the gap between hitting Level 50, and hitting Level 70, takes longer than I’d like it to.

Part of the problem is that I’ve been waiting to play Diablo III until after my paid writing work is completed. I end up playing while tired, and since my Monk is hardcore, I feel the need to be very careful so Qiwoot will stay alive for as long as possible.
