I lost another bird this weekend. He was a rescue that was older than we'd thought, he's been fading for the past several weeks and finally passed yesterday morning as we held him, he was such a sweety, a little bird of pure sunshine and happiness, and I miss him a lot. Naturally, I've been very preoccupied and stressed over the last few weeks acting as his nurse, his health literally worried me sick, but now its just being sad and trying to unwind from all of that stress and worry.
Holiday events are coming up very soon, for several games that I play (I assume that FFXIV will have one too), so I'll be around on a casual basis. Hopefully after the holidays I can find my way back to my normal crotchety self and back to playing FFXIV more seriously, maybe fill in some dungeon group holes. I'm still planning on playing, I've stopped in a couple of times, but usually during times when no one is around.
I hope everyone has a happy holiday season and I'll see you folks soon.
