Don't you just hate mondays?

Hi ppl,

Time for some blogging :)

This weekend I spent a lot of time with the family. We celebrated my grandmother's 84th birthday in her hometown Ede on Saturday. I went to see her on her birthday, October 17th, too. We ate at a Japanese restaurant, which was good, and had lotsa fun. We dropped our daughter Y off at my wife's sister and her husband. Y has a rather tight feed/sleep schedule and she doesn't really sleep well if she isn't at home in her own bed, so it wasn't all that nice for her as it was for us. We picked her up at about 23:30 again and she slept in the car and she went to sleep at home after 10 minutes of crying.

My parents were also at my grandmother's the 17th and the three of us visited my other grandfather in the hospital. He had a few months of illness after he went to the hospital for a rather simple surgery. The hospital personnel made a number of stupid mistakes and they needed 2 more surgeries to properly close his thoracic diaphragm. He also had pneumonia as a result of mistakes by the hospital personnel. They also managed to mismonitor his glucose level 2 or 3(!) times which also didn't do him much good. What a bunch of idiots. I want to warn people who read this to be sure to never wind up in the hospital Gelderse Vallei in Ede, NL.

Not much time for Silkroad these days. I successfully applied a 20% crit stone to my sos+5 sword and I managed to get a new crit rating of 14! Lucky me :D Although crit doesn't do a lot more damage because I'm a nuker hybrid, it's still lots of fun to constantly see the crits flying of monsters when grinding. I hadn't had much time to enjoy it though, because some French dude bought my sword the next night for 52 million gold! That left me with 102M, w0000t!

I bought myself a lv52+3 crit9 sword with int5 and 70% mag attack for about 2.6M, but I noticed i got a real problem. The difference in attack power between a sos+5 and a normal +3 is so big, i couldn't normally grind on the same monsters (Sonar) anymore! I tried hard to find a nice +5, but I couldn't find one and eventually I had no other choice then to try and +5 my sword. Lucky me, I only needed 2 wep elixers for that! Now, at +5 I can reasonably grind Sonars again, and my sword has this nice purple glow again :D

I spent some gold on elements and stones and got a 80% dura increase, 20% attack rating incease and 60% block parry ratio on the sword, so it's pretty nifty now. I'm 82% now with 6800SP and still have to grind to 12000SP. Luckily a compensation event starts tomorrow with a 30% exp increase so I'll level somewhat faster. The event also covers a 100% drop rate increase and a 50% gold drop increase, what a fine time to grind this week :D

Enough now, ttyl.
