My partner is devastated. Giz was his baby. But we gave him a beautiful send off. We buried him at our friends' house (rather than at our rental) under a rosebush. He will have spikes in his next life, too.

I shifted my meds, so I now have low-dose adderall for the week, and I upped my antidepressants overall. It's been helping a TON

I am still stuck in PhD hell. This is year 7, going on 8. It's embarrassing. But 7 years ago was also when mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers, so I'm trying to be (somewhat) gracious with myself.

I'm officially on Chapter 2 of my diss

I have not been rping or writing for years (which sucks), but I got hyper obsessive about knitting? It's been fun.

Mom passed away in November, I proposed to my partner on Christmas, and we're powering through.

Sam is still a brat and my baby.

This summer I'm making an RPG/time sim about surviving grad school and trying to finish Chapter 2.

And...that's about it. I miss you guys ;;

your knitting is stunning

Missed you too!

i'm so sorry about gizmo ;;

glad to see that sam is still the perfect boy

aww thanks for the update.

lonesheep: Thank yoooou! I've been having fun. I opened up commissions 'cause my summer job fell through, but I haven't had a lot of takers, yet

doggystyle: me too;;; poor Josh

I'm just glad we were able to give him a good sendoff
