Monday Musings - Mental Block

I suppose apologies are the order of business first. I have not been particularly good at updating the blog over the last week. Just look at this, posting the Monday Musings on a Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday along with a number of other posts. I started writing this on Monday and have only just managed to post it. I mean to do better but things have just been getting in the way, particularly the game itself. There have been days that I have meant to post but I haven't managed to get something written. But then there have been times I have been lethargic about doing anything. In fact I now have found myself doing less in game at the moment.

I am very good at wasting time. I always have stuff I need to do but often leave it for another time. I am going on holiday in less than 4 weeks and have done very little planning for it. My brother is going to give me a new TV but I need to sort out space for that. I have less than 3 weeks there. Look at this blog and how spotty in the last week it has become. I dread to think how long I have had the films from Lovefilm. And then there is the game.

I have a lot I want to do in game. I was going to say need but I don't need to play the game. I am trying to stay away from that phrase. But there is a lot to do. I have 4 characters I want to level and are at different points. I would like to get them all up but either am reticent for certain reasons or just can't face doing it. Leveling the rogue seems just so slow. Don't know if it is compared to the others but it seems that way. I know once I hit Outland things should change but that's still over 20 levels away.

Another case in point, my battered hilt and the recent holiday. My hilt is still almost just that. I haven't gone in to the instances yet. I also skipped Ahune in the recent festival. Sure, the dungeon finder should make things easy for me but its an instance. Its almost my kryptonite. I just seem to have a block when it comes to it.

There are other things I need, grrr, WANT to do but I just seem to put it off. Its almost as if I have a mental block at times. So in the meantime I can find myself wasting time.

But time for a quick update on things that have happened. My tailor went from 2k down to around 80g just over a week ago. I filled up on raw materials, as in a lot of cloth and some dust and shards. Yesterday I collected a number of auctions putting me at around 3k. I then bought even more materials but always at a good price. I'm down to around 1.6k on him. But more than enough materials to make it back and more.

I also hit 30k spread over all my characters Horde side but then later dropped to around 27.5k. How? I bought more raw goods but at an amazing price. I picked up over 90 Frozen Orbs at 10g each and a bunch more at 15g. Normally they go for over 30g but sometimes come down to 25g. I will be looking at converting these to other items and saving some for epics. I also picked up a large amount of Infinite Dust at under 1.7g an item. Very rare to see them under 2.3g. I now have lots and lots of dust. I did intend to use this for Frostweave Bags (I'm getting very possessive of the bag market) but am thinking of using some of it to level Enchanting. I had planned on leveling it while leveling the character through Northrend but that might be a ways off yet. We'll see.
