Down Time WoW

You know, I play so much WoW that I acutally look forward to down time and maintanence days. It's like I can get a breather from running dungeons, leveling alts, and creeping my profession skills up to maximum. Okay, let it be known that I've been playing five years. Five... years. That's a commitment baby. Its not as long as hubby and I have been together but it's like it's a third (or fourth if you count kiddo part of the mix) party in the relationship.

So, when I say I have 10+ characters who are at maximum level for EVERYTHING in the game,  it's not because I have been doing it 24/7 (although I will admit, it IS a considerable amount of time), that NOT to have a full blown maintanence day, I kind of feel sad.

When servers are down I feel no compulsive need to log on. I can do my chores around the house and not give it a second thought. I can start lunches and dinners in advance and do all those kitchy "Wifey and Mommy" kind of things and hobbies that I always wanted to do. Heck, I'm so attached to this computer and joined at the hip technologically based, that I could sit down and continue writing my novel (but honestly I work better on my novel, surprisingly enough, when everyone's asleep and contrary to yesterday's post about article writing).

So, servers are up. Well, the ones I normally don't have a lot of devotion to. But, they are up.  And that means I'm sitting in que on a lower level alt since I've had from the inception of this game, and yes, I'm moaning about the fact that I just can't seem to get away from the game today. 

And kiddo's been really great today. He's been playing Plants vs Zombies on his computer and not one freakout.  I should be happy about that at least.

I'm going to try and clean the apartment. It's normally what I do when servers are down on Tuesday, so I must follow through. But I will be wearing my wireless headphones and hearing the *tink*tink*tink* of the blacksmith ingame on them.
