5/11/2017: This has been a day where depression has kinda ruled the day... I definitely stopped writing here as much once the anxiety became more under control and the depression side of things set in... I realized that I am ashamed of my depression but not my anxiety. I am very open and honest when it comes to anxiety, but the depression is something I do not talk about at all.

Anyways one good thing about today was the new release of Tamagotchi at Toys R Us. I was not feeling good right from the start today, but I said nothing was gonna stop me getting there to check out Tamas. Matt and I headed down the hill to Toys R Us around 11:30AM and walked around a bit. There were no Tamas to be seen and I figured they might be late coming. Well Matt decided to ask the person at the electronics counter if they had any Tamagotchi and sure enough they did. The young girl got really excited when we asked and ran to the warehouse where she and a guy came out with two racks of Tamas! :) They come in the six original Japanese P1 colour decos and the packaging resembles that of the German P1/P2 Tamas in 1997, with the original "Tamagotchi" logo in pink. I picked out the clear blue one for myself and decided I would keep it at that as they are $23.50 taxes in and money is tight right now..!

Well I knew that the game play was going to be really simple and it is. I hatched my little guy around 12:41 and he has remained a little Babitchi blob since. He only requires food, cleaning and being put to bed at 8PM so far. Pretty easy little fellow to raise. I am more happy to have it for sentimitle reasons to be honest. I bought my little mini Tam today from the same Toys R Us my parents got me my P2 from 20 years ago. Today was very monumental for me for sure. :)

I brought my Tamas along with me to the toy store today: Mimitchi, Sekitoritchi, and Mamemon. Ocean stayed home on pause as I did not want anything to happen to little Taiyakitchi while I was busy. Shortly after we got back from the store, Sekitoritchi passed away at the old age of 26. Poor little guy was so needy. I had him out the whole time we were in Toys R Us actually so I am glad for that.

With the depature of Sekitoritchi and the birth of my easy Mini, I decided this evening to hatch my DigiMon that Meramon departed on Friday, my blue/gray one. I want to try for Tyranomon again and not have him change into secret character. I only got to enjoy him for three days before he changed into Mamemon on my gray/brown Digi! So at least now Mamemon will have someone to battle with in a few days. ;)

I still have Devilgotchi sitting there on the death screen, but I don't think I am ready to hatch it yet.... Gonna try and keep things simple this week. I will actually be able to focus on DigiMon now. :)

Boy I am glad I decided to write here tonight!  I am gonna force myself to write even on the most gloomy of days. The gloomy days need to lead to good days - I have to believe that!

Anyways I don't have anything else to talk about this evening.  I am depressed but I am going to get up and go to work tomorrow morning with Tamas in hand! Good night friends. :)

..... Okay I am back again sometime later.... Being online this evening and seeing all the buzz about the Chibi Tama release has got me thinking a bit negative. I am sad because these Chibis are a quick buck for Bandai and the hype is going to be almost non existent because these Tams are not interactive like the ones released 20 years ago. If Bandai actually put the effort in to release a small quantity of Originals with all the features, they would make money off it. Our next generation of Tamagotchi lovers are going to be buying a P1 for like 300 dollars because eventually they are really going to be that rare.  Seeing all kinds of new people on the Tamagotchi groups every month makes me so happy because I love that Tamagotchi Fever has lived on all these years. But where the hell are the new people going to aquire Tamagotchi's at a decent price?  Every Tama fan simply must be able to experience the joy of the original P1 and P2.  These plastic toys that we worship are as good as crown jewels to me!! I never take for granted the amazing collection I have. But I truly feel that they need to re-create and do a re-do of the Tamas of 20 years ago.   And this time they would follow up with the USA versions of Forestgotchi, Devilgotch, etc.  There are so many opportunities here for a comeback!  People would buy into the craze again.... Oh my I am getting rowdy here now. I even posted a similar rant on the Facebook page just now -- Tamagotchi Ancestors. I want to talk about this more! I want something to be passionate about (as if I am not already so passionate about them).
