I (Pema) was the
guardian that morning, but I would not stay long, since it was late at
night for me in Japan, and I was let off the hook by the others persent.
When I entered the pavilion, I met Adelene, Fael, and Gaya.
Adelene Dawner: (I just woke up, by the way, so my brain’s not completely operational yet.)
Gaya Ethaniel nods ‘ok’
Gaya Ethaniel: How are you Fael?
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Fael Illyar: I’m good, I’ve been walking and visiting my mother today. :)
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Pema Pera: Hi Adelene, Fael, Gaya!
Fael Illyar: Hi Pema :)
Gaya Ethaniel: How are you Pema?
Adelene Dawner: Hi, Pem :)
Pema Pera: oh, I’m fine, but my internet connection is veeerrrryyyy slooooww
Pema Pera: I’m in Tokyo again for one night, and hotel connections are not always what I would wish them to be
Gaya Ethaniel: aww…
Fael Illyar: Yes, sounds like those leave something to be hoped for quite often.
Pema Pera: everything is still grey for me . . . is SL slow today or is it just my connections?
Fael Illyar: I had no problem.
Gaya Ethaniel: not me either
Faenik is a hairy black ball with eyes and ears.
Pema Pera: well, must me my side then
Pema Pera: And how are you all?
Gaya Ethaniel: Well thank you Pema
Adelene Dawner: Good, if a bit scatterbrained.
Pema Pera: well, I woke up too, after a little nap; it’s 11 pm this evening here :-)
Adelene Dawner: ^.^
Gaya Ethaniel: 11:10… rather late
Adelene Dawner: Part of it in my case is lingering shakyness from yesterday - work stuff.
Fael Illyar: work can be rough sometimes, yes.
Pema Pera: what happened Adelene?
Fael Illyar: Hi Dakini :)
Dakini Rhode: hi ! :)))
Pema Pera: Hi there, Dakini!
Gaya Ethaniel: _/!\_
Dakini Rhode: good to see you :)
Dakini joined us, and so there were five of us.
Adelene Dawner: We had an event for the residents, and the staffing was lousy, so I wound up running around trying to serve ice cream to 20 residents practically by myself as quickly as possible plus handle all the residents’ other requests. I *can* do that, the adrenaline kicks in and it’s fine, but the aftereffects aren’t pleasant.
Fael Illyar: I might be imagining things but Dakini looks a bit different today :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Indeed Dakini. Been a while.
Dakini Rhode: indeed :) always changing…
Pema Pera: sounds like you had a tough day, Adelene!
Adelene Dawner shrugs. “Not really.”
Adelene Dawner: Demanding, but nothing I can’t handle, and nothing frustrating or upsetting.
Gaya Ethaniel: But still unpleasant… somewhat
Faenik: ah :)
Dakini Rhode: Gaya do you practice in these moments?
Gaya Ethaniel: During PaB?
Dakini Rhode: during work :)
Gaya Ethaniel: ah… yes more or less all day long
Fael Illyar: Do you mean Adelene?
Dakini Rhode: oh yes, I meant Adelene but thank you for answering, Gaya :)
Adelene Dawner: :)
Gaya Ethaniel: Sorry oops
Faenik loves wells!
Dakini Rhode: lol my mistake :)
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Adelene Dawner: I guess technically I do… the whole trick to the nines is to drop stuff, and when I’m moving that fast, if I tried to think about anything except what’s in front of me, it just wouldn’t work.
Fael Illyar: That counts I … maybe … although, lately, I’ve been doing things without thinking at all. just letting my body do it.
Pema Pera: (I realize that I’m still half asleep, after an initial nap, here at 11:20 pm, having slept only 3 hours the previous night — would you all mind if I would go back to sleep, and have someone else post the chatlog, or send it to me/)
Pema Pera: (sorry about that . . . . :-)
After I received kind advice to turn in again and go back to bed, I happily followed that advice :-).
Dakini Rhode: Pema please sleep :)
Gaya Ethaniel: np Pema. Good rest
Adelene Dawner: go ahead. I’ll take the log.
Pema Pera: thank you :>) — have to give a talk too, tomorrow morning, at a conference, taking someone else’s place at the last moment
Pema Pera: Thanks a lot, Adelene!
Pema Pera: I have to talk about virtual worlds
Adelene Dawner: no problem ^.^
Pema Pera: It would be very fitting if I would fall asleep during my own talk
Fael Illyar: Yes, please sleep Pema :)
Pema Pera: as an tribute to how virtual worlds give you a lack of sleep L-)
Gaya Ethaniel smiles
Dakini Rhode: haha too much time in them, yes :)
Pema Pera: well, thank you all, and see you soon again, in better shape, I hope!
Pema Pera: Be well
Dakini Rhode: rest and be well :)
