So, another day, another year. 2 days ago, as so many had noticed, was my 33rd birthday. I want to thank everyone for all birthday wishes in PM's, profile and otherwise. It really is sweet and heartwarming. I had an absolutely fabulous day (well, two actually) having friends over for cake and a short trip out to the regular pub on tuesday. I even got some great presents. Then on wednesday was the big day, and I actually teared up when my bf burst through the door in the afternoon with roses (first time EVER in 2.5 years!), a sweet looking suitcases I'd wanted (I know, you start having all these weird wishes when you become a technical adult) and even a wii fit from my dad (he lives 2,5 hours out of town so couldn't make it himself). Yay!! Lucky me. And on top of that my mom is even taking care of my back taxes from last year. Doubke bonus!
Yesterday I also finally managed to chomp through the last 600 or so mage logs needed for 92 firemaking. I don't normally buy mages for fm, but I was so fed up with this level I just caved in the end. So finally I got the sparkles proclaiming I was now lvl 92 fm. Aka halfway to 99 AND able to light the last of the beacons for the lovely inferno adze. So, wrangle a yak out of bank and start loading the beacons. I had enough mage logs left for about half of them, and then used eucalyptus on the rest, saving 15 mages to give to the keepers. Finally just the beacon near GWD left. Need 3 jute fibres and a needle to repair. As if I have any jute in my bank... There is a LOT of stuff in that bank, but jute? No sirree! OK, off to the trusty GE. Buying 3 jute fibres at max. And.... Nothing! Plan B: Buy some jute seeds. Yay, they bought! Off to Yanille to plant, check guide for growth time. 45 minutes :o Meh. So after about 45-50 minutes of smithing, running to check, running back to bank for cash to buy plant cure and finally picking 3 jute, it's off to the beacon. "You need to have a firemaking lvl of 87 to light this fire". WTH?? I just dinged 92. Oooooh, the snow is draining my stats. Return to bank for a restore potion. Back again. WHAT?? Ok, dumdum, might be smart to bring a super restore instead of the regular one..... 3rd time's a charm. Back again, super restore, windbreaker fixed and beacon filled with logs. Whew. Now just for the nerve wracking part. And lo and behold. I actually made it! On the first try! Woop woop!! Off to King Roald for my lovely reward, and then straight off to eucalyptus trees as I'm only 60K from 94 WC. Atm, down to 34K off, and I'm seriously in love with the adze!!!
So all in all, a couple of great days lately. And to boot, BP have (atleast temporarily) managed to stop the oil leak in the Gulf. Plus, we're going out with work for "payday-beer" tonight. And the forecast is 25C and sun, so plan on sitting out on a barge in the river sipping cold lager tonight. My life really is good!
