28/10/2015: Last night at 9:41 P.M. Masukutchi (white/blue Tama) passed away. He managed to hang on until 19 due to pausing, and he left full and happy. I was sad to see him go...! But glad that he died with a full tummy and left me an egg. :) I went to bed last night with seven Tamas still going, but I knew there were more departures to come.... Today at 5:40 P.M. Ginjirotchi (green/yellow Tama) passed away at 19. He too left full and happy. And I saw the death sequence from the very beginning with Ginji. A skull appeared on the screen for about 2 seconds, and then the screen faded. Then the beeping began and Ginji just stood there, laid me an egg, and became a little angel. I am glad I still have another Ginjirotchi, but he too is starting to become a little on the demanding side at age 13. As the evening progressed there was another departure, Masukutchi (pink/yellow Tama) passed away at 8:44 P.M. He is my longest living Masukutchi, only 20 I know, but no less he died happy and healthy. In other news I got Kusatchi back today on my silver Tama. I had been neglecting that Tama, hoping for anyone below the average character. Well I do love Kusatchi so I was really happy to see him when I took my silver Tama out at work this afternoon. :) I know that his time will be limited, but I will make the most of the time I have with him. Speaking of limited time, Mimitchi is 20 today, and I haven't paused him at all. I fear that he will be departing tomorrow, as 21 has always been the age that he leaves at when I don't pause him. I would love for him to stay around for just one more day, but I will take whatever time I have with him. I love Mimitchi so much, and I have always gone above and beyond to take the best care possible of that little sweetie. :) I have him propped up on my belly right now as I write this hehehehe. He was been wonderful company while I work long hours this week. Work has been so busy, and overtime is on all week, so Mimitchi has made those long hours a lot more tolerable. :) Anyways, I must go and tend to my five needy Tamas! All but Kusatchi are extremely demanding. I still have 1 Ginjirotchi, 1 Masukutchi and 1 Zukitchi to care for. Mimitchi is easy to care for because he is just so darn cute. :) After they die, that will be the last of my 10 from the big group hatching that I took upon myself at the beginning of October. I am only going to care for 4-5 this time around, which is going to feel strange because I really got used to caring for ten at once. :P |
