@dragoness129: ewww - that definitely sounds like a rough night for some. It's no fun to be without power, but especially so when it's cold outside!
@Vixen: LOL. Nice try, but I'm watching you... and your petticoats!
@MoodyB: Unfortunately, I think that's to be expected these days in a lot of these online situations. :(

If i'm still stressed once they go to bed i may do rum yeah. Just a nice nightcap glass which is all I've really been doing lately. but nah. I'm playing sims at the moment ^-^ finished the terrifying pixel. and am writing a story while i play sims.
I really need to work on my nano but i don't wanna right now xD

@Shadami: Dude, have you considered just ... stopping. For like half a day.
I'm talking about taking some time just for you to do nothing. By yourself. As in alone. And quiet. Peaceful. Sanity-refreshing....?? I fully recognize that not everyone works this way, and that sometimes it's just not possible, but it's one thing to hop from dealing with kids to dealing with dinner and dealing with the house to "taking 'me' time" to do writing or drawing or whatever, but it's another thing to just stop. Entirely. And really relax. /just a thought/

i don't know how to just stop and do nothing. i am incapable of doing anything that doesn't require multi tasking. i even play music when i shower so that i can sing and dance. and when i used to have a tub i would have a notebook near by to write on or I'd have a nice bubble bath and a good book. xD

@Totalanimefan: welcome back. We're answering the random question of "where would you be from if you could choose"

@shadami: lol. Good point, but if you think about it, some of these fantasy realms are actually worse off than our world - they're at war, they have powerful magical overseers, maniacal orcs, etc.
