Waiting for the Christmas Spirit

It's been awhile since I've been in SL, but I've been fluttering around the grid trying desperately to catch up on what I've missed. Christmas is always one of my favorite times in SL, especially when the weather outside is cold and snowy. So, here I am enjoying some of the shopping fun.

First Christmas in Awhile

It's the first Christmas in awhile in SL. 

First, I went looking for Santa because we need to have a talk about the constant surveillance. It's really taking a toll on my mental health knowing he's watching me when I'm awake and when I'm sleeping. That's a little creepy.

Then, I want ice skating.

All The Candy

 My collection of Schadenfreude treat buckets gets bigger by the year!  This year, you can find five of them to start (there are many more to find).  One each at Katat0nik, Schadenfreude, Silent Sparrow, the Lodge, and Nouveau Starlust.  These treat buckets give a piece of candy on click. I put them out in front of my house for trick or treaters!

Where to next?

Life is better with your best friend.

My best friend of 15 years, Hannah, my chihuahua, passed away this past summer. I'm still so broken hearted. I miss her so much, and I don't really know how long I will grieve. She was the sweetest little dog.

I have a large collection of Chihuahuas in SL, and most of my purchases were inspired by my two Chihuahuas, Hannah and Bambi (who passed away in 2018). This little guy made by Hextraordinary looks like my Bambi, so thank you, Corwin, and all the chihuahua makers, for creating these little pups.

When in Doubt

This summer is off to a rough start. 

The future is unclear.

Doubt is everywhere.

I need to sleep.
