 | 10:00 pm - Paladin 75
Beware! Contains game terms you might not be familiar with!
With about 14000 experience points to go to the ultimate level of 75 on my Paladin job, I logged in and got a fast request for a party, as usual. paladin is a tank job after all, and very wanted.
 Level sync got introduced a year ago, and I've been fighting at level 63-ish for days, with my combat skills uncapped at unsynced level. Luckily, this time I got into a level 72 part, and we went to poke some tough mobs. Finally got to fully use the new pruple gloves I bought a few days earlier.
Setup was, from top to bottom, Paladin, Red Mage, Summoner, Ranger, Samurai and another Samurai.
Soon, we had people replaced, so we ended up with another Red Mage and the Ranger got replaced with a hyperactive Corsair to pull mobs for us. Then the madness began.
Not only did she put ni some fun into the party, she also kept on pulling mobs without an end. While we were fighting one, she'd get the next and sleep that one until we were done with the first one. A few times, she pulled a mob with a link, and it got somewhat dangerous. Even had to use my special 2H ability to survive it the first time. Thanks to her 2H ability, my ability got reset. Corsairs are great like that ^-^
This also made me tank less and just bash randomly at the mob, as shown above. So I had to take out my secret weapon... a cape that would give me an enmity boost to keep hate better... and it failed only a few times ^-^;
The party ended with me at 1800 exp till next level. I decided to get to the past real of the game and get that last bit with Campaign. These are battles to protect fortresses set all over the past realm from the invading Beastmen.
I finally managed to take down my archnemesis Yuu Mjuu the Awakened (A White Mage/Summoner and murderer of FFXI Eirwen's story dad), but it wasn't enough to get the level I so wanted that day.
Went to kill some leftover yagudo's at the nearby area, close to home. Probable even had help from Eirwen's ingame adoptive mother.
Finally had the chance to tank a mob in Campaign without anyone taking hate away from me! It was great. Ofcourse, I had some help of others curing me so now and then, but still... mostly done by myself.
And there it was! Enough experience points to hit 75! First one to hear about this was my Dutch ingame buddy Faithful, and the conversation went something like:
Me: blablablablabla PLD75!
Faithful: Congratulations!!! ^^
To celebrate, I bought the best Paladin Shield that Gil could buy.
After bringing Warrior to level 37, to function as full subjob to Paladin, I mined some good ore, pimped my Corsair (a job with guns, cards, dice rolls, and Pirate-ey Job-related high level gear) and decided to focus on bringing that job from level 31 to 60, for the clothes. XD

 | 09:02 pm - Recollection of the past?
Finally went to see the doctor last friday. He bangled my kneecpa a bit and with the vague information I provided him, it was stated my knee got 'ontspoort' (out of track).
I got a subsciption for some infectin/pain killers, and a note for the Physio therapist. Though the doctor made my knee feel worse, it began to feel better after the weekend, and felt good enough to go to work.
I lift one piece of a printer we were moving, and moved two tables and an empty closet, and it got worse on the knee and lower leg. They were nice enough to bring me home.
I made an appointment with the Physio (with ph, right?) for tomorrow afternoon, but I doubt it will work. Not because they weren't able to fully fix the same problem on my sister over ten years ago, but because of what happened after dinner.
I went downstairs for some Italian Ice-cream and dinner (in that order), but after dinner, my left leg redused to stretch itself enough for me to use it to walk. After the others cleaned the table, mom massaged my lower leg, that felt like it was paralyzed, and I managed to at least stand up, but not lean on the leg with any weight.
I sat down on a desk chair, and after a while, it went better, so I could walk to the stairs, only to not be able to walk up it normally.
But-for-but, I made my way up the first set of stairs. Then I figured I could walk up the second set if I didn't fully strecth my legs, and got to my room for as far as you can say I'm okay.
Meanwhile, we got reminded of something similar I had about 15 or so years ago. I had a 'groei stuip', couldn't move around, and had to sit in a wheelchair and rest a lot for a week long, while on infection/pain killers.
If I have that again (weird, since you'd say I'm physically fully grown), the Physio won't be of much help. And not is only this doubting my defect, but my sister doubts it's untracked/de-railed, for she never had the kind of problems with it that I experience now. Or is it a muscle cramp? So many questions... Probably no work for me the rest of the week if this goes on.
In other news: I gave my second try at drawing digitally without ending up with lines. The result can be seen here, with a WIP on Tumblr, because I felt proud of my achievement. Already gained a couple of helpful tips for future drawings like this, which I'll be using for my next idea, even though it has inanimate objects this time.

Chest pain and other pains are gone, but the knee.. it comes and goes. I've been careful with it, but I really should go to the doctor. Asked parental units to leave the doc's phonenumber on the table so I can call him from work in the morning.
And I srsly don't know how it got to hurt this way... And it's the leg I support most on, apparently :/
Meanwhile, let me feature you all the latest drawing I finished not too long ago: [link]. And its WIP.
Mentally doing better since last time.

 | 12:28 pm - ¿Por qué?
Even though this month started great, it turned down hill fast for everyone - including myself.
It's been three weeks since I started to feel uncomfortable and cough often. Two weeks since I had my face thrown down on the street, rubbing off on the asfalt as life drove on. Almost one week since the aweful feeling in my chest - probably sort of stress related. And a few days since my knee hurt to a degree of just feeling weird, so I watch my steps.
I can't eat as much as I used to. Window open and table fan on doesn't keep my room cool. I feel warm all day, and in bed that isn't helpful to get to sleep. Last night was too hot to keep it off, so I had to sleep with the fan on. I knew it was a mistake, for I can't sleep with that thing, or any machine, running. I woke up almost every hour between 1 and 7, and even dreamt I overslept but stayed in bed.
All the above things have one question in common:
Why?!
Meanwhile, at least one good thing can be noted. Even though I stopped learning Spanish from the resource material I got, I'm still learning it 'off the street' from my colleagues and the painters. Still is a lovely language.
