It has been quite the decade... has it not? Or the year that never was that we will remember but never speak of?

i can say that The Tiger & i have been managing well & thankfully neither of us have had the misfortune of being diagnosed with COVID or hospitalized. *knocks on wood*
Hopefully it'll stay that way as we head into winter & all the data points towards rising cases everywhere & news of hospitals being overrun & unable to manage already. 😿

We even joined a study that tests us once per month & informs us of the results & serves to help researchers as well as give us peace of mind with regular testing. Some of my family back in TX recently had tested positive for the virus & it is hard news to hear. Not sure all the details surrounding it but more it goes to show anyone can be affected.

As hard as it may be... i urge people to try to stay positive in light of everything... Please listen to your local governments concerning safeguards & provisions for staying safe & healthy.
Please do what you can for others when going out in public & always wear a mask... social distance whenever possible. If we all try to do our part i think we will be able to make it through this.

i'm finding outlets to try to socialize online with things like VRChat & multiplayer games which has really helped give me something to look forward to. Working on creative outlets has been much harder than usual but trying to keep persevering there when possible & stream now & then to give others some form of entertainment & another means to socialize & keep in touch. 🎮🎨

Stay safe & healthy. Wishing folks the best! Happy Holidays! 😸
