So I'm trying to resist the urge to be cranky and toss in the towel for the day. I spent last night building my character, but of course that took longer than expected (why did I think I could build a 19th level character in a couple of hours? I should know that I'm far too Type A for that). But I didn't want to quit, so I stayed up late ... and now I'm at work, both short on sleep and with an incomplete character.
On top of that, I believe the heat has caused me to be dehydrated or something, because I've been having regular headaches (which are probably also responsible for my recent unhappy stomach).
But! I can't give up on my day, so here's my "it's not so bad" happy list:
1.
ratzeo not only gave me access to his D&D library, but also provided plenty of helpful feedback and suggestions. He was also patient with my constant questions and tolerated my stressing out over my time constraints and difficulties with the character.
2.
ratzeo also reminded me that it is always a choice to let myself get stressed out. It may be hard to choose not to stress, but it is not impossible. And when I make that choice, not only am I happier, but those around me are, as well. This gets its own entry because it's very, very important for me to remember. It's also extra-happy that he is here to remind me.
3. On a lighter note ... my character is gonna be cool. 8D Alas, he will not be - as I originally envisioned - a giant cat-man wielding an orc double axe from the back of his dire tiger animal companion. I found a smarter and more efficient character build. But it's going to be pretty close to that original image.
4. If the heat is what's responsible for my headaches, then that should be going away now that we're not fluctuating wildly between autumn coolness and summer oven temperatures.
5. This. (I swear, the world is conspiring to make me want a Scottish Fold.)
