Sorrow: Devastated to learn that a furry friend from another forum passed away suddenly today from complications due to his epilepsy. His name was Mikhail Darkwolf.
I don't know if this is actually sorrow, or just confusion. Today I learned about a first cousin once removed that not even my mother (who would be his first cousin) known about at all because my aunt who adopted him put him in a care home in Florida because of his psychological issues died. I don't know what I should feel because literally nobody outside of my mother's aunt knew about him. That is bad that I don't know what to feel since I am going to his memorial tomorrow.

I would like to repeat I never knew he existed until now so I don't really know how to feel about it. Should I be sad? Because I have this feeling but I can't describe it. I don't think it's sadness. :/

Just suggesting, Amazee, perhaps it's a kind of regret for a relationship you might have had. People will say you can't miss what you never had but that's not real true. Sometimes the sense of loss can be triggered by the sense of the "might have been". It is, at bottom, a kind of grief.
Joys: Classes have been passed, and I have three months off due to how the next class is in March, as part of a compressed 8-week course. I have time to commit to self-care and other important stuff.
With the right community, getting into a webcomic at the beginning of a brand new arc can feel just as enjoyable and rewarding as being there from the beginning.
Congrats on your financial and academic successes, Sleet and Ash
Joy: My VR controller replacement arrived today. I broke the analog stick on my previous left controller (Beat Saber will do that) so I sent it back to Oculus early this month. My Quest is awesome, but oh how I've missed desktop VR
Sorrow: I found out how said cousin whose memorial I went to died. Apparently he choked to death on a sandwich. He was special needs and lived in a group home. I don't know what to think about that.
Joy: I got the first 8 Housepets books for Christmas! I may get the ninth from my secret santa at a Christmas party tonight, and the tenth is being delivered. I got other great goodies and gadgets this morning, too.
Joy: Had an awesome Christmas yesterday (got Housepets Book 10!)
Sorrow: The room-mate of an old friend of mine (and my old bus driver from Elementary School to the end of Middle School) wrote to us today and told us that she died last year

Sorrow: A few days ago another family close to us got into an awful car accident. No young people, luckily. They are recovering now, but one of them might have a problem with their foot. Gave some donations hoping for the best for them =(
Getting a new pet can be very helpful in the grieving process for some people. Your uncle doesn't love his old dog any less for getting a new one
Sorry for the loss
I know that it can help but to get one IMMEDIATELY after the previous one died seems like you are trying to replace the pet and moving on WITHOUT grieving. Plus we don't know how the previous dog died because according to him, she was coughing up blood so she might have eaten something but nobody will know for sure. I think it was something she got into outside when he tied her to the deck and left her out in the cold for 45 minutes.
There's this one song played on the radio at the store where I work that got stuck in my head shortly before I left back to college for the Fall semester. I never found out what it was, so it's been stuck in my head off and on for the last 5 months or so. It FINALLY came back on the radio and I was able to Shazam it. No better feeling than that. (song was Stay (Wasting Time) by Dave Matthews Band)
Sorrow: Lost several accounts through losing my password to the email attached. Like my Nintendo Switch. I decided to fork over more money by making a new Nintendo Online Account and formatting all data from the switch and SD Card.

Joy: Snow here isn't actually that bad! Only three 1/2 inches and I was able to get the driveway cleared in no time!
Joy: Made more progress on my short story!
