Today is Mother’s Day in the U.S., but I would like to send well wishes to all mothers around the world. If you follow my Mega Maxis blog, you know my mother has been dealing with some serious health issues. I am happy to report that my mom has made tremendous improvement in her swallowing. It is not completely back yet, but it is significantly better. I am very touched and grateful to those of you who have offered your well wishes and prayers.
I also finished the Project from Hell at work. I have never worked so much in my life! I accumulated nearly 300 hours in the month of March alone! This is the first weekend off I’ve had in a long time. Between my mom and my job, I really haven’t felt like blogging. My mind is usually mush by the time I get home so the idea of trying to put a post together is not very appealing.
However, I’ve really been missing my Lazlos lately. Since the next expansion pack, Generations, revolves around families, I think it is the perfect time to revive this blog. Also, now that I have been using Twallan’s Story Progression Mod for a while, I have figured out how to freeze a household while playing another. That means I can follow Faith’s and Chance’s branches of the family tree along with Fortune’s. I’m really excited about that, so look for this blog to resume after Twallan updates his mod to work with Generations.
You might be wondering what I have been doing in the meantime, since I do play games as a stress reliever. I’ve dabbled with The Sims Medieval. It’s an okay game, but I find it gets repetitive after a while. I don’t think I have touched it in months. I have also discovered Civilization V. I am really enjoying that game (so much so that it has kept me up way past my bedtime on a number of nights). I know a lot of longtime Civilization fans prefer Civilization IV (in much the same way that some Sims fans prefer Sims 2.) Since I’m new to the Civilization franchise, I’m quite happy with CiV.
I have also been getting some Sims 3 in. I’ve been playing out a copy of my Lazlo save game. Playing a copy allows me to get my Sims fix in without having to worry about blogging. I’d like to leave you with a funny picture from that save. I’ve never seen a Simdo this before:
Gaurdian/Leeann babies, you following Starla (or scarletsimphony) on Twitter, new Legacy neighburhood, you're back?! Everything is complete again in my world. I don't know how I coped without the Lazlo's for NEARLY FIVE MONTHS! So glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteHey, Anon! Wow, you're so sweet! And thank you so much for sticking around. Yes, I'm back. I've missed the Lazlos too. I can't wait for Generations to come out so I can continue with their story.
ReplyDeleteI am following ScarletSimphony. I love her Creepers. Have you read her blog? http://scarletsimphony.wordpress.com/
Oh, I DEFINETLY read The Creeper Legacy. It's so funny. Not to say that you're blogs aren't. I LOVE The Lazlo's, Daniel, Temesha, Rachel, and I've been desperate to read your Mega Maxis Blog Martinez 1.
ReplyDeleteI definetly understand your mom's health issue's. My gran is in hospital seriously ill, and I hope you don't mind but why she is in is kind of a reason I's like to keep to myself.
