26/12/2017: Well this blog is mostly about Christmas, since I wasn't able to write about it then: Well Christmas started out early. Woke up about 8AM and was not feeling well at all. I am not a morning person under the best of circumstances, but it's even worse when I am not feeling well/anxious about pending social situations. So as I was saying, I didn't feel well at all. Mom and I opened gifts together however and that was really nice. She knew I wasn't feeling well and she was there for me the whole day. I am very lucky to have her as my Mom. <3 I got some great gifts which included a meditation book, a new wallet, some clothes, and many other assorted items which I can't seem to remember. :P Either way I was not so focused on gift opening because I was too preoccupied with how anxious I was feeling about having to go out visiting people all day... I woke my Tamas up when I got up today because I wanted them to get a jump start on their day where I was gonna have to pause them at times. We departed to my Mom's mother, Gitta's house at 9AM or later.  We had to stop in there before going to pick up Matt and go to Laura and John's to have brunch and open presents with Donald. I love seeing all of them, but today was just yet another day of social anxiety for me so I was dreading it. I hate when people can see that I am stressed and I am NOT good at hiding it. My facial experiesions say it all... ANyways. I ended up having a great time by the time we got Matthew and arrived at the house. Aunt Lois and Janet dressed up in Santa suites and that was most definitely the most hilarious part of the day. You have to know these people to understand just how funny they are. We were all roaring with laughter the whole time we were there.   I forgot to mention that I paused half of my Tamas during the time we were at Laura's and unpaused them all again a few hours later once I was home. :) I brought my two oldest Mimitchi's with me but then paused them for a little while as well. My family definitely doesn't understand what my Tamas mean to me, so that is something I keep about 90% private. They know I collect and play with them, but I don't think they know just how dedicated I am to the hobby. After we had brunch we headed back over to my Grandmother, Gitta's house for lunch. More gift opening and food, however I was not hungry at all so I decided to just help give out food and drinks to everyone who was eating. I left the room periodically to check my two Mimitchi's whom were never left alone for more than 10 mins at a time. My Mom's side of the family probably see me with my Tamas the most. :P I don't flaunt it, but I don't hide them either.... ;) Once we were finished at my Grandmothers I was finally able to go home. Matt helped Mom get ready for the turkey dinner and I went and had a nap which was much needed. Oh how I loved that nap... I was kind of half sleeping and half awake as I didn't pause my Tamas and they beeped throughout my snooze. :) I was very thankful to have that nap tho. :) We had people over for Christmas dinner after that, and breathed a big sigh of relief when the day was finally over, as bad as that sounds, but that's just how Christmas is for me. Today as in boxing day has been much more quiet. I visited with Matthew for a while over at the house he is tending to, and while there I lost a Mimitchi (white/green/red) at the age of 23. My clear black Mimitchi who is 22 will most likely pass away late tonight or tomorrow since he was paused the same amount as my white/green Tama. Takotchi (Matt's hatched Tama) also passed away, and that happened yesterday or the day before I do believe.... Can't even remember now... Oh yes it was yesterday, when we were at the house he is staying at once again - that is not a lucky house for my Tamas it seems. I was thinking alot the last two days about my 20 years with Tamagotchi, and to think Christmas Day was my 20 year anniversary. I still have that Tama to this very day and someday I will post a picture of it. It was actually the white/green trim and red buttons one as I have mentioned before. :) Either way I am just enjoying time by the Christmas tree at home with my animals and Tamas. Clear black Mimitchi is demanding but thankfully has not left. And my two Ginjirotchi are 19 years old and quite needy, though not nearly as needy as Mimitchi. MY Mimitchi is easy as pie to care for. :) My sweet little one...! I will be spending new years with him for sure! As goes another blog ended, and I pray and hope that the next time I write here my new Tamas will have showed up. ;) Back to main page
