Season 7 was the first time I had the opportunity to try out the Champion part of the Season Journey. I gave it my best try, but was unable to complete it.
Even so, this was the farthest I’ve gotten through the Season Journey. I wish I could have done better – but I’m not disappointed in what I accomplished.
This post is an update about my health and my most recent visit to my rheumatologist. Nothing bad happened.
Here’s what got done:
Rheumatologist at first thought I only had fibromyalgia. Not sure why.
So, today, the pollen count finally calmed down and my allergies were not as horrifically bad as they have been for weeks. So, I had a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. I had one during the weeks I was sick, but too sick to realize that the PSL was actually making me sicker.
Barely drank half the PSL and got all the symptoms I get that indicate that I’ve been glutened. After doing a bunch of research online – it turns out that the sauce in the PSL from Starbucks contains gluten.
This year, I decided to document my struggle through the fall pollen season in the form of haiku. If you’re going to complain about your health – you might as well do it in a creative way.
I also wanted to share how bad my allergies were due to the fall pollen season and give people a glimpse into what it is like to be me. This year’s fall pollen season started August 9, 2016, and it continued through September 30, 2016. That’s a total of 53 days of being sick, in a row, with no end in sight.
Gardens of Time is a game that combines a well written story line with a hidden picture game. The artwork is very detailed and beautiful. Players can unlock more of the story, and more hidden picture scenes, just by playing the game.
My favorite part is the garden, where players can put different objects, buildings, and decorations – and move them around as they like. I recently started playing Gardens of Time again after a long hiatus. Originally, I was playing the game on my desktop computer (which is a Mac). Today, I am playing it on my iPad Mini.

I was fortunate enough to have gotten into the World of Warcraft Legion Beta. I immediately rolled a Night Elf Demon Hunter so I could see what the new class was like. It didn’t take long for me to see that it is a really fun class to play.
I’d been holding off on posting my screenshots from my experience in the Legion Beta (just in case some of them turned out to be “spoilers”.) The Legion expansion was released on August 30, 2016. About a month has passed since then. The screenshots I’m including in this blog are from the Demon Hunter starting zone.
Flight Rising is a fun, browser-based game, where players are in charge of a Lair full of dragons. One of the things you can do is breed your dragons. It is an inexpensive way to get more dragons… at first. You’re going to need to feed them, and that can get expensive.
Recently, I purchased an Unhatched Nature Egg from the Auction House. Dragons that hatch from eggs have no parents and can mate with absolutely any dragon of the opposite gender. This is because they are not related to any other Flight Rising dragon.
Naturally, I decided to breed the dragon that hatched from the Nature Egg. There was no telling what the babies would look like. All of the artwork in this post is copyright of Flight Rising.

Episode 15 of Candy Crush Saga is called Sweet Surprise. It starts out with a gigantic, colorful, cake. The little girl character stares at it and has a question mark over her head. I spent the whole Episode wondering what was going to pop out of that cake.
The answer is revealed after a player completed every level in Episode 15. The answer makes sense in a way, but also left me with many questions.
Ms. Fortune is one of the “Rare Cats” in Neko Atsume. The way to attract one of the special cats is to figure out what items they prefer and to put those items into your yard/house. Eventually, the cat you are trying to convince to visit you will appear.
Some special cats like one particular item, and others are interested in two items. There is only one item that can cause Ms. Fortune to appear. It is the Cardboard House. I had great difficulty getting Ms. Fortune to visit the Cardboard House!
Blood Sky is the fourth part of The After Series. I highly recommend that you read the first three books: Fallen, Cold Light, and Far Shore. You will get much more out of Blood Sky if you take the time to read through the earlier portions of the story first. Relationships are made, and broken, and sometimes repaired along the way.
Traci L. Slatton does a good job of reminding readers about the most significant things that happened in the previous books. This is not meant as a replacement for reading them, though. It is important that you “live through that” with the characters before jumping into the fourth book of the series. One of the things I love about Slatton’s books is that she makes the reader truly care about what happens to the characters (both major and minor).
