october

this month has been pretty crazy, lots of ups and downs. i don't even really know where to begin, there's just been so much. hopefully pretty soon things will calm back down and i can settle back into a routine.

i've been having so much fun at my second job that i've been chafing without doing shifts there. my coworkers are all so great we're like a big happy family. i've thought about picking up another shift or two to earn a little more coin, but right now that would be insane until things stabilize.

thankfully my bosses are pretty understanding and have been patient with me while i deal with things irl on my end. i've been keeping in touch, and they've been rooting for me while i root for them back. i even got my mom to sign up to play sl, but i think she's only gonna be on when i am.

for some reason all the tutorial stuff was set in london city, so she was lagging pretty badly. i had to take over for her and get her out of there because she got frustrated. i got lots of question marks when i explained fps, lag, and avatar complexity but i know she'll get the hang of it.

sent a couple landmarks her way, and when i build my wallet back up i'm gonna tweak her avatar into something custom since she's just running around with the one she signed up with. got her firestorm too, since the official viewer is still being garbage.

i sent her a freebie ao i had laying around in my inventory, and tinkered with her shape a bit. i think i'm gonna upgrade her to mesh right away, i'm not sure if i'm gonna do maitreya or something else since she wants to be curvier. i might just get maitreya and then find a shape she likes.

from there i'm gonna get her a mesh head since they're cheaper than bento, unless i find a cheap/free bento head that doesn't suck. i remember finding one for catriona, but that was "free" after spending 250L to join the group that had it as a gift.

i may just go maitreya bod, and a simple LAQ head since those are like 3k. skins i'm not sure about, i may do seven deadly skins or find somewhere else. she's also gonna need bento hair, maybe some different eyes depending.

i'm both looking forward to and little bit dreading this since this makeover is gonna be a few thousand linden lol. i think in a few weeks or so if i get lucky shift wise i can do it without wincing at my linden wallet.

i might just let her have the simple ao for now, i really don't want to shell out another 5k for a nice bento ao even though it's really great. fairly certain just the basics will tide her over until i get her more interested in the game in general. i don't think she's a fan of having to get a job on there to earn money lol.

i'm also gonna have to fund her wardrobe too, now that i think about it. oof, these expenses are really gonna add up. maybe it'll be a few months of saving up linden as long as i don't need to buy any more upgrades for work. that anypose was a killer.
