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.

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 :P

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.

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 =(

Sorrow: My uncle's dog died the day after Christmas while we were on our way to Vermont to visit other relatives.

Annoyance: Not even a full DAY after that, he got another dog who is a pitbull if anyone is wondering.

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

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)

Totally understand! Any snow I've been getting has been followed up by a ton of rain, making everything slushy. So no snow, just slush.

Joy: Broke my PC being a moron, but I finally fixed it.

Jeez. What did you do to your PC? I'm not judging as I have anger issues and in the past have been known to beat the crap out of it.
