It’s that time of year again – the final day of 2025 in which I review all that I did in the past year as related to the goals I set at the beginning of the year. Overall, 2025 has been a rough year for me IRL between health issues and the loss of long-time employment.

Similar to last Christmas, I was on the road this year and received my gifts in person. So, I don’t have a list of individual items to post, but I still want to create a gallery of gifts like I did last year. Since the previous format worked well, I’ve done the same here.

One of those things was to reclaim the Groovy Glasses, which is a drop from the Howling Blade raid fight, AAC Cruiserweight M4.
IRL: Unemployed Life Has Been Anything but Quiet!
Posted on December 9
It’s hard to imagine that I’m more strapped for time now that I’m unemployed than back when I was working a full-time job. I never thought that would be possible, but here we are. I’m wanting to write a blog post about my experiences and the life lessons I’ve taken away from this… and this might be the first one…
IRL: On the First Day of Unemployment…

…My company gave to me, a severance package in a tree. Well, actually in an email. Since, you know, we’ve all working from home and been quite productive over the past 5 years despite that.

One of the perks of changing my main to Amon was that I could finally dedicate my small personal house to his RP business location, known as Amon’s Tea and Tomes. Previously, I’d used this space as a museum to display housing items I’ve collected since 2013 – some which are hard to come by unless you pony up money in the Mogstation now days.
