Sleep 0415 to 0900. 1900 to 2100. (6-3/4 hours)

• Woke up early. Shower. Get presents from C3. Drive to mom and dad's in time for BotezLive stream.
• Oops. Got bored and got my DDO hardcore character killed. Don't feel like creating a new character and trying to grind him up.
• We were doing The Iron Mines: Freeing Achka (Sorrowdusk Isle) and in the sonic traps I ran through to the middle and got hit hard eve with sonic resistance and energy protection. Instead of healing and refreshing energy protection I tried the second set of traps and that got me. You know you're tired of playing when you don't bother to replenish defenses.
• The first quest of the night (Valak's Mausoleum) I ran through the trap section and knocked unconscious. It's like I hit the first trap and kept going through the second one which knocked me out. That should have been a sign that tonight I was too out of it to play hardcore.
• Now that I died I'm disgusted with DDO. I'll probably feel better in a day or two and maybe by the time of next hardcore season I'll in the mood to try again. Might do same build since I liked it: some ranged, some healing, good anti-undead.

Sleep 0330 to 0600. 1 hour nap, 90 min nap. (4 hours)

• Christmas Dinner. Dad made prime rib, mashed potatoes, yams, sesame salad, other salad, green beans. Marina, Phil and kids came over.

Mon Dec 26 2022

Sleep 2100 to 0100. 0900 to 1200. (7 hours)

• DDO hardcore. Died again. In good mood so immediately started a new character and played all day to get to level 5.

Tue Dec 27 2022

Sleep 0400 to 11:45 (7-3/4 hours)

• Since my new iPhone has no audio jack checked to see if will work with my Toyota Camry 2007. Apparently those cars only support Bluetooth for phones but not for music.

Wed Dec 28 2022

Sleep 0400 to 1130. (7-1/2 hours)

• DDO weekly reboot didn't end Night Revels. My character was midway through level 6. Got her to level then did the eight Night Revel quests to get to level 8. Catching up to Christopher.

Sleep 0215 to 1015. (8 hours)

• Some of my ceiling lights (laundry, hallway outside bedroom, master closet) use an E300850 lamp adapter so the light bulb are not screw in, they have two screws in the bottom and you still twist them into the socket.
• Based on the laundry room they're CFL light bulbs and I think getting a bit dim. Want to replace with LED light bulbs.
• Noticed that Amazon does this clever thing. I chose free shipping so it'll take an extra two days. The order placed page says "For the next 24 hours, you have FREE Shipping on all items shipped by Amazon. No order minimum. Why? We just want to thank you for shopping with us. To get this benefit, choose the same delivery address." which I think just means due to warehouse picking delay it'll be collated and shipped as if it had been one order anyways. It costs Amazon nothing and it feels like a perk to the customer.

Fri Dec 30 2022

Sleep 0345 to 1145. 1 hour nap. (8 hours)

• More extra DDO and I've almost caught up to Christopher. He's about half a level ahead so I should try to play a bit more to catch up since I'll start falling behind once my premium subscription expires.
