And with that, Christmas is officially over. The kids were so happy with their gifts, Gwen with all her Barbie stuff and Lucas with his transformers and nerf gun that's ike a little minigun, so many darts everywhere! But, I'm glad they were happy. Liz and Kevin were both happy with their stuff, too. It's hard, once you really hit adulthood, to be excited for socks and pj sets and trash cans for your car, but it's what was wanted. I got a Target giftcard from my brother, and Liz and the kids got me a new headset for my Xbox, so that's awesome. But now, the holidays are officially over with and done, and I'm relieved for that. Like I said before, I don't know what this year will have in store in regards to Christmas, so I'm glad I was able to get this last bit of time in with everyone.
Tomorrow I'll start work on some updates for Nocturnal Retribution, and work on leveling up Nike a bit. I think I need to put another PM on one of my Sires, so I'll take care of that as well. I want to be a little more active here than I have been in the last handful of months.
I think this year I will actually take time to focus on Nike and get that account up to Sire. I think it's in the low 30's right now, so, it will take me some time. But, I have a year to get it done. I don't think I've actually sired an account other than this one, nearly 18 years ago. Every other Sire I have, has been graciously given to me. So, it's about time I just buckle down and get it done. Though there are more levels, I originally hit Sire when we were still on the old leveling system that only went up to 28 levels, the bonuses do make it a bit easier, I just have to stay out of the red. So yeah, between the House and that account, I have some things to work on. And maybe, if I get to a point where I'm comfortable, I can work a little on Logan's account. I know he's not too invested here to take the time to level up himself, which is totally fine, so me hopping on every so often won't be an issue.
I just finished up all the wrapping of the kids' and Liz's Christmas presents. My back is in protest over the way I was sitting for the whole thing. After tomorrow we will officially be done with the holidays. It would have been sooner, but with the kids being in Oregon and then with New Year's spent over at Logan's, tomorrow is when all our schedules matched up. It'll be nice to spend the evening with the kids, Kevin, and Liz. Despite how things are, it's nice to be with them as a family. It may very well be the last time like this, because I don't know what Christmas this year will look like. So, I shall enjoy it while it lasts and then be thankful that that's the last of the Christmas stuff we needed to do.
Right now, though, I think I'm gonna go use that massager I got and see if I can get my back feeling better.
Welcome, 2025. While there are a lot of things I'm dreading with this year, there are also many things that I have to look forward to. It's nice to have some serious life changes to look forward to.
