And just as a warning to all of you, since my gameplay is close to a week ahead, DOARS is now a candidate for a posting spree.
I know that I didn't think I'd be writing for a while, but I've got to take things slower this week (in rl) so until I'm good and healthy again, DOARS will probably be overwritten.

Dear Diary,
Waking up next to my husband wasn't as comforting as it used to be. It was nice, sure, I'm not going to say that it meant nothing to me, but it didn't cheer me up like it usually did. I had been so earnestly hoping that a good night's rest would ease my mind and help me to feel comfortable with the changes going on in this family. It didn't.
I used to love doing laundry, but as soon as I realized that my family was getting involved, now I just dread it. I have to get this ambassador as quickly as possible. I just want to be done with all of this.
The gnomes are trying to make up for it, though, I think. I mean, look, we have a living room area now! I must admit that I do like that. We even have a tv (not pictured). I don't want to sound ungrateful for all that the gnomes have done for us, but I just wish I had realized that washing their laundry wasn't going to be sufficient. I mean, maybe that way I could have been preparing myself for what lay ahead, but now, I don't know. I guess I'm just feeling icky about this whole thing because it caught me off guard. It was like in the span of 24 hours, my entire world was suddenly flipped on its head and I felt no bigger than an ant. And I'm Lynn Sw0rd! I'm MUCH bigger than an ant! And I'm famous!
On a secondary note, I must not have slept very well, because I was up a good hour before anyone else got up. Maybe I should have gone back to bed....
Well, Cycl0n3 got up and immediately fed out little girl. I love Raquel and I love Cycl0n3 and they're even better when they're together. They're both so safe right now. Hector and I may be getting involved in this mess of a situation, but these two aren't. I hope I can keep it like that.
Even though it was mid fall, the ground was starting to freeze. That had never happened before. It made me nervous. I know, I know, you're probably saying that I'm always nervous. Well, that's perhaps true, even if I don't always show it, but before you decide that I'm going crazy (or gone crazy) just hear me out.
The ground has never froze before, and yet now as the war between Tony and the Gnomes is heating up- it suddenly freezes? That's awfully suspicious! Is Tony trying to kill us with ice? Is he trying to freeze out our food supply? Or even worse, us? You have to admit that this is pretty concerning.
On a happier(?) note, Hector is more devoted to his telescope than ever. I used to think that would keep him out of trouble, but I'm not so sure anymore. There's something fishy about it.... But, I'm not going to worry, I'm going to force myself to be happy and think about other things, like the fact that Cycl0n3 got the chance to work out together, which is always a highlight of my day.
My little Hector seems a bit eager to drive! I think I prefer him sticking to the house than to a real car! I hope that this interest in driving doesn't have anything to do with the gnomes and what's been going on. The implications would be a little frightening, I think.
Raquel is being sweet, though. She always is, of course. I wonder if that block tastes like lime....
Today is my first day as Team Captain. I get to call the shots around work, that's pretty great. With my life being... well, I've complained about it for the last two days, let's just say I'm glad to go to a place where I'm the boss. It's a refreshing change of pace.
I did notice, though, that it's raining, very foreboding with the freeze earlier, is this Tony's ice attempt on our lives?
While I was gone my kids played together. That's sweet, I'm glad they're bonding. I hope Hector feels protective of his innocent little sister. If she's got a strong older brother to protect her, then I don't think I'll need to worry about her. Not that I won't worry about her, but I won't need to.
I hope he's teaching her to build things with the blocks, though, and not eat them.
Hector apparently thought that Saturday was for family bonding! I happen to agree to a certain extent. I'm awfully proud of my little boy! First playing nicely with his little sister, and now hopscotch with his dad? That's awesome! Maybe the gnomes really aren't using him to do anything. Wouldn't it be great if he could just be a kid and worry about kid stuff?
After I got home, though, Cycl0n3 told me that Hector had been saying some really interesting things about the stars. Something about there being life out there and aliens. I guess my hopes of normal kid stuff for Hector were misplaced. Aliens? If you had asked me three days ago if aliens existed I would have sworn that they didn't, but now?
I don't know! Everything is different. Do aliens exist? Are they part of this war between Tony and the gnomes, and if so what side are they on? Are they good? Are they evil? Will my family be okay?
Well, tonight my baby became a child. I knew she was going to, but I don't think I was quite prepared for it. She's a little version of myself, only good. I hope that means that she'll turn out okay.
For either of my kids to be okay, though, I've got to step it up and get the gnome thing resolved. I'm going to do laundry every spare moment that I can find any to wash. I'm going to do it for my kids, for my husband, and for the world. Whatever is going on apparently needs this gnome ambassador to be sent to us, so I had better make that happen, and as quickly as possible.
I think I'm going to need more laundry detergent, though....
Hector had been quiet and dodgy for a few days, so I sat down with my kids as they were eating their very late dinner to see where their minds were at. Raquel went on and on about computers and cds and software, it was adorable, really, but Hector just stayed quiet.
Well, he might not have said anything, but I think because I spent a little time with them, he'll feel like opening up eventually. I mean, sure he's never told me everything, but he's never kept anything big from me before, and I'm getting nervous. Or, well, I'm already nervous, but it's making me more nervous.
Just after dinner, though, the kids were tucked in, and it was bed time over here in the Sw0rd house.
Hoping that a second night's sleep will put my mind at ease,
Lynn Sw0rd

Am I the only one who thinks Raquel looks a lot like Blu looked as a girl? And from that last angle Hector looks like a young Sam? Did you do that good of a job on your self Sim and did Sims really do that good of a job with genetics? Heehee, did I just make my point with all questions? ;)
ReplyDeleteI think Hector looks a lot like Cycl0n3, so what does that say about me? Did my selfsim marry someone who looked like Sam? Aside from that, of course Raquel looks like Blu! Lol! You're silly. She's a mini clone of Lynn, so... she was bound to look like Blu and I.
