So, I got busy and fell off the social media. Job hunting, writing a LARP, more job hunting and eventual job starting. At some point I stopped reading here without noticing.

We buried Miss Bianca and Omicron in Speedlime's yard this evening. Miss B passed Monday, and Omi passed about a month ago but we had not been able to get there to take proper care of him before. Both of them were sent on their journey with lots of foods. Our thanks to the Anubis of the Valley of Hamsters for letting our little friends rest there ( Read more... )
