Sleep? That's a Foreign Concept Lately - LOL

It's a swimming day, and those are early days. I had my alarm set for 3:00 am, thinking that waking then, doing my morning meditation and then writing my blog post for the day, would put me on the road about 4:30 am - just on time for my trip to the pool. But ... I awakened bright and bushy at 1:00 am, and although I told myself to go back to sleep, I couldn't. So I gave up, got up, closed the door to the kitchen, pulled out the blender and my veggies, and made the "Ogre Juice" that I hadn't had the time to make on Sunday. So I'm now set for my lunches for the rest of the week. Although the blender is loud, with the kitchen door closed and his bedroom door closed, DH didn't hear a thing. 

This is the blender I purchased in 2021. I use it every 
week, sometimes more than once a week. It's a total 
workhorse and I adore it. One of the best purchases 
I've made in my life, with my dehydrator coming into 
that list as well. 

I was going to double-check Sharon's plane reservations, but realized that although I wrote everything down at the shop, I didn't write anything down here at home, and, for some odd reason, also didn't have it in my phone. What a silly girl I can be sometimes. I sent her a message to update me once again, and of course I'll grab the info from the shop when I get there. But that way I'll have it double and I can grab it from her text and plug it right into my calendar. I have no idea why it isn't there. Sometimes technology is not my friend. *sigh*

DH and I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons Online 
for a VERY long time. We were one of the beta players 
before they officially released the game, and I think that was 
at least 20 years ago, maybe 25. It all runs together. He still 
plays regularly, but I rarely bother. I have too many other 
things calling for my time. 

DH and I have been players of "Dungeons & Dragons Online" for decades now. They had announced that our world would be closing and we were given a choice of new worlds to transfer to. So we chose a new world, and everything shifted over earlier this week. That meant we also needed to repurchase our various homes - we have one in the Celendon area, one in the Belfalas estates, and two in the general Rohan area - one in the mountains and one on the plains. Last night we finally got the last of our homes repurchased. We had some specialty homes in Rohan, and finding a world that still had both houses available was a hunt. But we got it - DH got his castle on the peak, and I got my riverside dwarf cave which I always make into a recreation room - the kind humans would call a "game room" with a big screen TV (or the equivalent in a world that still heats via open fires - LOL). I really don't have a lot of time to deal with decorating, but that's at least a fun part of the game, so I'll get moving on it now that I have all of my houses back. 

My lower Rohan house is located at 8 Colt Road - it 
features the standard large house, but it has a bonus 
- a cave at the riverside that I make into a games cave. 
I guess it's similar to a "man cave" of modern times, 
but of course there's no TV or electronics in the time of 
the Dwarves. Still, there are plenty of kegs, good seating, 
and targets at which to throw axes if so inclined. Of course, 
I have to totally refurnish my four houses now. The stuff 
I had in them was returned to me, but there's nothing 
much worse than unpacking after a move, right? LOL

So, that's about all the chatting I'm doing today. It's still early, so I can get a bit of this and that done before leaving for the gym in an hour or so. Have an excellent Tuesday and I'll be back tomorrow. Slavs Ukraini.
