Remembered Joys

1 Floating

I remember times when I had days like this – relaxing on a raft on a lake, not a worry to crease my brow, except whether or not I would be attacked by a swan. Actually, I was on my dock, but it was still restful as I allowed the gentle sounds of waves lapping against the shore to soothe me. I always kept a wary eye on the swans, but a stash of stale bread that I could toss to them kept them at bay.

Sometimes days gone by are a little pick-me-up when the weather is bleak and your spirits are low. Remembered moments; remembered joys.

End of a Long Day

1 End of a long day2

I spent more time in Second Life yesterday than I have in quite a while. Of course, there were a lot of things I had to do.

Shopping. Taking pictures. Shopping. Catching up with a few friends. Shopping. You know, the usual…just on steroids.

My first stop was *ARGRACE* to pick up a couple new releases. Next to Analog Dog for one of Queue Marlowe’s newest styles. Over FaMESHed. A second trip to Uber. Then off to .LeLutka. to demo the new mesh heads.

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about investing in a mesh head. I would be happier if there was the capability to use sliders to customise my face, as with my mesh body. But since I spend so much time retouching bumpy and pointy bits on my face when processing my photos, the temptation was great.

And I really liked Aria. I did make a couple of adjustments to my shape to make me look a bit less “out-of-the-box.” And after (finally) reading the instructions, I was able to tweak my viewer so my face matched my body. I was sold.

I can’t say I’m crazy about the profile; I feel a bit like a pug with a smooshed-in face. The facial shape is also rounder than my usual face, so I’m discovering that not every hairstyle I’m used to wearing works with Aria. But with as much hair as I have clogging my inventory, I’m sure I have plenty that will work. And I don’t plan on using it every day, like I do my mesh body so I don’t have to give up my favourite styles.

After playing with the HUD to get a look I liked, I trekked back around the grid to do more shopping, created a couple of sets for photos, dragged in Chance and sent HIM shopping, took photos and then went back out for (ahem) a tiny bit more shopping.

Is it any wonder I was so exhausted I just stripped off my clothes and fell into a deep, restful sleep at the end of a long day?

Taking A Break

1 Taking a Break

While gardening in Second Life isn’t as strenuous as in Real Life, it’s a perfect excuse to take a break after weeding and planting. Snuggling with your significant other can be as refreshing as a day at the spa.

Well, maybe not, but it does give you a warm feeling when you curl up in his lap on a soft blanket 🙂
