And we're at the halfway mark, yay!!

    As this auto-posts on the HQ, the 2nd night is about halfway done. Needless to say, I'm already anticipating going home to my Pretty Gal on Sunday!! The four night rotation, with all its trials and tribulations, can be pretty brutal. But, come Sunday morning, none of it matters because I'm going home to my beloved Effie!! Effie, I love you, honey!! I'll be home in a couple of nights.

      My Gamer Gal and I got together on Skype/Toontown again today; my blue cat teamed up with her purple duck... Unfortunately, her purple duck got sad and had to go back to the playground. I narrowly averted getting sad myself a little while later when I took on an 'easy' one-story Sellbot building, but found the lobby packed with 2 level 4 Micromanagers and a Level 6 boss. I took the coward's way out and 'dashboarded', lol. Moving on...
