Part 51
Tuesday, September 1, 2026, 12:03AM: It is the very early hours, but it's finally Later: I had a very good appointment with my psychiatrist this afternoon, and she has put me on a medication regime that should hopefully have me feeling like myself again within the next month! I am feeling much less hopeless now, and I'm excited about what this month has to offer. And if I just continue on with my virtual pets, updating webpages, watching TV, and enjoying quiet time at home, that's perfectly fine (for now). Tamagotchi-wise, things have remained the same with the current group of six that I'm running. Metal Greymon is 24, Cactus Angel is 18, Ginjirotchi is 17, both Mimitchi are 15, and Mametchi is only 12. I don't think I want to hatch any new Tams until some of the demanding ones pass away. It's not easy when they all get demanding at the same time. :-P They listened to Julez's Members Only Live with me early this evening, and then Dani After Dark went live unexpectedly, which was a very nice surprise! We tuned in for that as well.
Wednesday, September 2, 2026: It seems my 25-year-old Metal Greymon and my 19-year-old Sabotenshi (Cactus Angel) have become increasingly *more* demanding since yesterday. The Digimon literally empties out all of his hearts within seven minutes--I timed it! :-P Then, of course, I have a very demanding, 18-year-old Ginjirotchi who is true to his age and needs constant attention as well. I guess this is what happens when you hatch so many *so* close together, hehe! I'm not going to hatch any new ones *just* yet. 
Autumn has officially begun here! The weather has changed to cooler, crisp temperatures, and I put up my orange and purple mini Halloween lights in the living room, the game room, and the bedroom this afternoon. Everything is so cozy, and it's my favorite time of the year. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a pumpkin spice drink from Starbucks or Tim Hortons! .::Sigh::. Just when I thought that Ginjirotchi would make it one more day, he passed away just before his 10:00PM bedtime at the age of 18. He departed full and happy! I'll miss him, but I'll get him back again *someday* soon. I don't have it in me to hatch another Gen1 just now. At least he got to watch two documentaries with us this afternoon/evening, both on Netflix. :-) Bye-bye, Ginji, I'll see you again soon!
Thursday, September 3, 2026: I'm getting really overwhelmed with Metal Greymon and Cactus Angel, and they were both making it almost impossible for me to get anything done on the computer today. I know I said I wanted a long-lived secret character, but I had no idea he would be *this* demanding! In addition to those two, my two 17-year-old Mimitchi are also very demanding and got their second illness today, meaning their time is limited.
Friday, September 4, 2026: My Metal Greymon turned 27 years old today, and I've now broken my 2016 record of 26 years old! I am very happy about this milestone! I really love the Digimon, even though they are very different from the original Tamagotchi and other incarnations. I'm really glad I decided to raise some of my DigiMon's this summer! There are also so many other versions that I haven't given a lot of my time to, like the Genjintchi, Mothra, and the Nakumara TamaOtch! I will raise *all* of these ones.......eventually, heh! It's Friday night, so my Tams will be keeping me company while I tune into Dani After Dark's YouTube live in 40 minutes! I'm excited! I never would have imagined that I'd become *this* involved in true-crime communities, but I love this group of people. Most of my Tams are very demanding, so I'll be tending to their needs throughout the show, while chatting with group members.
Saturday, September 5, 2026: This afternoon/early this evening, I hatched/awakened a new Tam: my lime green w/yellow trim and buttons European Gen2! My newest hatched Tam is listening to "Live with the Verdict Room," and nobody is holding back this evening! But I must confess, I had a lot more fun at Dani After Dark's live last night, with the smaller group of people in the chat. It was just laid-back and enjoyable. Then, tomorrow, we have Nancy's "True Crime & Moonshine" Sunday night stream to look forward to! She hasn't hosted a stream in a while because she has been working on this particular episode for the last number of weeks, so I'm very excited! :-D I used to share a lot more TV and movies with my Tams and virtual pets back in the day, but the last year or so, I've been a lot more true-crime, YouTube oriented! I would love to bring my Tams to the movies this month for old time sake! And a good excuse to get myself out of the apartment!
Sunday, September 6, 2026: Well, I seem to have gotten into a good routine with Metal Greymon, and tomorrow he will turn 30 days/years old! Definitely my longest-living DigiMon to date. I have gotten used to his constant beeping for food, and I work down his weight by playing the game while I'm doing other things. I don't have to pay much attention to the game, so it's not too hard. This evening, at 10:38 PM, at the old age of 23, my Cactus Angel passed away on me. He was very old and demanding, but funnily enough, I barely paid any attention to him over the last few days, and he still lived on! I will admit that I muted the sound because the beeping was constant, but I still got the good ending of "Thanks." I am going to restart that Angelgotch sometime this week once some of my demanding Tams go on their way. My Mametchi is 17 years old today, and my two Mimitchi are 20. All three of those Tams will be going back to their home planet *soon*, so I am glad to have my lime green & yellow and purple/blue & red-buttoned Tams, whom I plan to get Mimitchi and Ginjirotchi on, respectively. I will be relieved once the more demanding ones are gone. Perhaps then I can focus on getting out a little this week! :-D
Monday, September 7, 2026: Happy Labour Day, Canada! I stopped taking my Cymbalta today, and so far, I've had very minimal side effects, aside from being very tired. I also have counseling early tomorrow morning, so we'll see how that goes. I've gone back to taking Prozac now, which I should have never come off in the first place! Hindsight is *always* 20/20! My friend calls it "medication roulette" :-P Matthew put up some more orange lights for me in the bedroom, which makes everything that much cozier, and he took down the A/C unit for me, as summer is over! I am so happy that my favorite season has finally arrived. I'm also very glad to be raising so many 1997 Tams at this time, since it was the autumn of 1997 when I first discovered Tamagotchis and Nanos, along with all kinds of other virtual creatures. This afternoon, I restarted my silver Angelgotch around 3:30 PM while lounging and watching an episode of Roseanne. I'd like to work toward raising the lucky Sparkling Poop, an exclusive secret character on both the Angelgotch and Tam Angels. Shawn sent me the regime I need to follow. This evening, at 7:54PM, Mimitchi on my tiger-stripe Tam passed away at the age of 21. Then, shortly after that, at 7:55PM, Mimitchi on my blue/black w/silver-writing Tam passed away as well, also at 21. Poor little ones. I won't be restarting either of these Tams. At least they both left behind eggs, which means I took good care of them.
Tuesday, September 8, 2026: Now that I am down to a lower number of Tams running, I'm really able to coddle my current group of five, particularly the lime green Gen2, who I hope will become Mimitchi! I also have some news that happened last night after I'd put my computer away for the evening: my purple/blue w/red buttons Gen1 changed into a Ginjirotchi! I have been sick with cymbalta withdrawal, but after taking a full tablet of diazepam, I'm feeling *a lot* better. We are watching the latest news about "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" for Nintendo Switch 2, with a release date of November 5, which is not far away at all! I am so excited for this. I've been playing the N64 and 3DS versions this past week. It's a game I never tire of, and I am SO excited to see the remastered version! :-D Later this evening, we will be attending a live hosted by Dani After Dark, where she will be interviewing George Stimson, the author of "Goodbye Helter Skelter: A New Look at the Tate-LaBianca Murders".
Wednesday, September 9, 2026, 12:37PM: Cymbalta discontinuation is still making me feel very unwell, so I've been taking things very slowly and staying close to home, which is nothing new. I watched the Nintendo Direct live just a little while ago, and there were lots of exciting things happening there! My Tams have also been a great comfort, and I've been spending quality time with them throughout all of this. My Mom is going to drop by in a little while, so off I go for now! This evening, my lime green & yellow Gen2 got his final illness and will be changing into his adult form tomorrow--and with any luck, a Mimitchi! My Mametchi is very old and needy at 20 years of age! Thankfully, Ginji is only 7 and not at all demanding.
Thursday, September 10, 2026: Today was an extremely eventful day, Tamagotchi-wise! This morning, at 11:29AM, my 21-year-old Mametchi passed away before my eyes. I watched as he laid me an egg, and then, at 11:30AM, I hatched the egg he left behind. I really love this German turquoise & yellow Tam, so I had already decided several days ago that I was going to raise another character on it. It was bittersweet watching Mametchi leave, but I'm excited to see who his successor will be! Next off, at 2:55PM, my lime green & yellow Tam changed into none other than .::drum roll::. Mimitchi! Yay! It feels so right having Mimitchi and Ginjirotchi back together with me at the same time again. They are only a couple of days apart in age, so they will live out most of their virtual lives together, hanging out with me here at home, watching TV and YouTube, working on webpages, playing video games, and all the glorious things a virtual pet gets to do in this household.
Friday, September 11, 2026, 9:38pm: I woke up early this morning for an appointment, and I was able to drive the car for the first time since coming off Cymbalta! I still had my Mom come along, just in case I ran into any trouble. My appointment went well, and afterward we went to the mall for a small look around before heading back to the apartment. I bought a lovely autumn scented candle from Bath & Body Works! I have been feeling a little unwell medication wise, but I guess it's just part of the process. I will celebrate the good moments of today! I brought all of my Tams along for the journey today, by the way. :-)
Saturday, September 12, 2026, 5:26pm: Well, I've been spending lots of quality time with Mimitchi and Ginjirotchi here at home, along with three other Tams. I've been keeping Metal Greymon asleep almost constantly by changing the time to nighttime, hehe. It's *much* easier this way, and he still continues aging and living. He will be 36 tomorrow--my age! I also got the adult form of Taraten again on my Japanese Angelgotch, and if I get him again, I'll get the lucky poop! This is all thanks to Shawn giving me his "cheat sheet"! :-D As for my teal & yellow European clockface Gen1, he's currently a tamatchi, but he will be maturing to adulthood *soon*. I have another European Tam, a white/blue Gen2 97' one, that I've been tempted to hatch, but I am going to hold off for now, hehehe. I know one thing, it has been so nice taking a break from re-release Tamas!
Sunday, September 13, 2026: I succumbed to temptation and hatched my white/blue-trim & buttons German 1997 Tam this evening at exactly 5:07 PM. I just can't resist! These German Tams were built well, very similar to the Chinese and Japanese versions, with good-quality screws that don't strip. It's given me *major* temptation to browse eBay for more European Tams, hehehe...! For now, I'm back up to six Tams, and I think I'd like to raise a Hashizotchi as my adult form.
Monday, September 14, 2026, 7:36PM: Well, I am doing a little better since yesterday evening, thankfully. I am taking comfort in my five Tams, and even more comfort in my sleeping Metal Greymon, heheheh! I am leaving the lights on at bedtime on my newest hatched Gen2 Tama, the white/blue-trim & buttons one, in hopes of getting the unhealthy teen. Then, I am expecting my turquoise & yellow clockface to change at any time! As for my adult Tams, Mimitchi, Ginji, and Taraten, they are doing just fine. Ginji is just the smallest bit demanding at 12 years of age, but otherwise, everyone is doing well. :-) They were great company when I did laundry this afternoon! Well, at exactly 8:25 PM, my turquoise & yellow Tam changed into a Masukutchi adult! Yay! I've always had a lot of love for Masu, as he is very unique-looking and very easy to win the game with! I am very happy, and he won't become a secret character, which is fine by me. This evening, I'm sharing the movie "Halloween" (1978) with my group of Tams. This is the first of many scary movies and shows we'll be watching together this season!
Tuesday, September 15, 2026, 7:46PM: Well, I very successfully drove to see my friends at the mall late this morning and stayed and hung out with them into the early afternoon. I got really anxious toward the end of the visit because I was worried about afternoon traffic, but I took my time, chatted on the phone with Mom, and finally made it home at 3 PM. :-) I brought my Tams along on the excursion, and they were no worse for wear. I also gave Amy her very own original 1996 Japanese Tamagotchi, since I had one to spare...! :-) This evening, at 6:25 PM, I got the unhealthy teen on my white w/blue trim Gen2, and then, at 7:38 PM, Taraten on my Japanese Angelgotch passed away. I restarted that Angelgotch again, and once again, I'll be going for Taraten. If I get him again, I'll finally get the lucky Sparkling Poop! Once she becomes a maruten, things will calm down a little......They are all keeping me company during Julez's current live. I am tired this evening, and my hips hurt a little from the tension of driving in heavy traffic today, so I'm curled up in bed now, and we'll see what tomorrow brings. I would like to get some things off to the dump, as Matthew reorganized the living room. :-D
Wednesday, September 16, 2026, 3:58pm: Beautiful, warm, rainy autumn day today! The windows are wide open, and cleaning has been in progress all day. My Tams have been excellent company, and I'm paying extra-close attention to Ginji, as he is 14 now and very much on the demanding side. I wish he lived a longer life like Mimitchi or a secret character, but sadly, that's just his programming. I just love my little group that I have going now! Beautifully colored shells with wonderful characters. :-)
Thursday, September 17, 2026: Metal Greymon is 40 years old today and still going strong, though he spends *most* of his time on pause, hehe. I got a Hashizotchi on my white/blue Tam and Taraten on my Angelgotch. I had hoped to go out today, but alas, I ended up staying home again. This evening, I watched Amber Vance's latest video about the Idaho4, and it was both eye-opening and scary. :-o My Tams were a comfort.
Saturday, September 19, 2026: This afternoon, at his natural age of 17, Ginjirotchi passed away before my eyes at 4:43 PM, laid me an egg at 4:44 PM, and then turned into the little angel amongst the twinkling stars...! I didn't pause him at all this time, and he was with me wherever I went. Because of this, I believe he was easier to care for, and I never succumbed to feeding him snacks like I've done with previous Tams. He led a good life, and I know I'll get him again someday soon!
Sunday, September 20, 2026: This evening, at exactly 9:02PM, I decided to hatch egg that Ginjirotchi left behind yesterday for me on my purple/blue-trim & red-buttoned Tam. He emerged at 9:07PM! I'd like to raise a nyrotchi, tarakotchi, or a Kutchipatchi--I can't decide which. As for my other Tams: Mimitchi and Hashizotchi both got sick, and entered the more demanding stage, but I love coddling them so it's no matter to me.
Tuesday, September 22, 2026: Last night, at 8:20PM, Taraten on my Japanese Angelgotch passed away with the good ending at the age of 10--and he became the lucky sparkling poop, which just happened to be the death screen! :-P I restarted it by pressing A & C, and now I have to raise a Ginji Angel as the next step toward getting the lucky poop with the face--the one you can actually feed and take care of. This is all thanks to the care sheet that Shawn provided me! Yay! I'm sad to report that I am not much better on the anxiety and depression side of things. In fact, I feel like I've gotten worse. I've been feeling very nauseated and have had a loss of appetite... I'm just taking things as they come, as per usual. This afternoon, at 3:33 PM, the death beeps tolled from my 10-year-old Hashizotchi. We had just finished watching two episodes of "Mama's Family", and then I made a Reel of all five of my Tams together on Instagram. Well, I held onto little Hashizotchi as he laid me an egg, and by 3:35 PM, he'd taken flight in his spaceship amongst the stars. Bye-bye, little Hashi. I will miss you! This evening, at exactly 6:59PM, while we were re-watching the movie "The Crush", my purple/blue-trim, red-button Tam changed into a Kutchitamatchi--just like I'd been hoping for! I just lost my Hashizotchi, so perhaps I'll get her cousin, Kutchipatchi, as my adult form. Then, sometime after 7PM, I got the healthy teen of Kodoten on my Angelgotch. I'm going to do 3 care mistakes so I can get a ginjiro-tenshi!
Wednesday, September 23, 2026: Well, it's been yet another day at home. Anxiety is high, my mood is low, so I decided to hatch/awaken a new Tam at exactly 10:50AM this morning: my yellow-with-orange-trim, 1996 Series 1 Japanese Gen2 Tamagotchi (solid black egg)! I am definitely going to raise a Mimitchi on this one, since my current one, on my lime green with yellow trim, is very demanding and old at the age of 19. This afternoon, we began Season 3 of "Mama's Family", and it is such a fun-loving, peppy little show--just what I need to lift my spirits these days. I have always enjoyed caring for my Tams while watching movies or television, so I kept a close eye on them all while we watched. Afterwards, we had an early dinner, and now I'm browsing through YouTube.
Thursday, September 24, 2026, 9:37AM: Last night, I was up in bed with my Tams, watching TV, and at exactly 10:00PM, my silver Angelgotch changed into a Ginjiro-tenshi, the afterlife version of Ginji, just as I'd hoped for! This is one of the final characters I need to obtain in order to get the lucky Unchikun, AKA sparkling lucky poop! Ginjirotchi is a wonderful character to have in any form, so I'm very happy. This afternoon, at exactly 3:30PM, my purple/blue-trim, red-buttoned Tam changed into a Kutchipatchi! Yay! S/he looks so lovely on this coloured Tam, and I'm happy to have hir back again. As for the rest of my Tams, Mimitchi and Masukutchi are 20 and 15 years old, respectively, and both are very demanding and close to the end. My newly hatched yellow/orange-trim Gen2 is awaiting his final discipline before he changes into the teen stage. I am very content having these five to care for at the present time.
Friday, September 25, 2026: This afternoon, at exactly 12PM, Mimitchi on my lime green-with-yellow-trim Tam passed away at the old age of 21. I had been feeding and playing with him every few minutes over the last couple of days, but it was a comfort in consistency. I never let him go without, and hopefully, in a few days, I'll have a new Mimitchi on my yellow-with-orange-trim Tam. Bye-bye, for now, little one! I messed up my shoulder and neck again, so I've had an ice-cold Magic Bag resting atop my shoulder as I care for my Tams, update webpages, browse YouTube, etc. I am going to find a show or movie to watch soon! Early this evening, at exactly 5:17 PM, I pressed A & C on my lime green-with-yellow-trim Tam, hatching the egg Mimitchi left behind earlier this afternoon. I think I'd like to raise a secret character on this one! I'm watching a cooking video on Julez's other YouTube channel while I raise my little guy through the Shirobabitchi stage. Later this evening, while watching the end of "Halloween 4" (1988), I lost another Tam! Masukutchi on my turquoise and yellow-trim clockface Tam passed away at 9:45PM at the age of 16. He left full and happy, so maybe he just had enough of watching Halloween movies. :-P Bye-bye, little Masu. I'll miss you! I will be sure to hatch the egg you left behind for me this weekend. For tonight, though, I am far too tired to hatch a new Tam!
Saturday, September 26, 2026, 11:29AM: I am *so* sleepy today, as I was up most of last night after having eaten too much for supper yesterday evening. I may have to pause my Tams and take a nap, but I'm trying not to for now. I'm determined to keep healthy sleep-wake hours if I am to achieve *anything* this month. :-P This afternoon, at exactly 1:20PM, Katherine and I hatched our Yasashii Tamagotchi together. She just got a brand-new white Yasashii in the mail today, which is so wonderful and exciting! I decided to hatch my yellow one with her, and I'll be happy with any adult character, so long as it lives! At 2:31PM, he changed from the babytchi into the child character, hoppetchi! This evening, I've been coddling Hoppetchi, since it takes absolutely perfect care to get the healthiest characters, two of which I've never had before. I've been watching season 3 of "Mama's Family" while I care for him and the rest of my Tam clan.
Sunday, September 27, 2026, 7:33PM: Early this evening, just shortly before 6 PM, my yellow-with-orange-trim Tam changed into a Mimitchi! Yay! It's wonderful to have my little sweetie back again, and in just five days at that! He has a good two weeks worth of time ahead of him with me! I've been busy with my Yasashii Tamagotchi, taking the best possible care of my little Hoppetchi that I can! I am privy to some new knowledge regarding how to get the good characters, and needless to say, my webpages will need some updating on this matter... I am not telling Katherine, though, as she is experiencing the Yasashii (Easy) Tamagotchi for the first time ever. :-) As for the rest of my Tams, Digimon is 50 years old today and spends all of his time sleeping. Then I have Kutchipatchi and Ginjirotenshi on pause for the time being, as I am so wrapped up with Yasashii! And then my lime green with yellow trim is the healthy teen, Tongaritchi. My Tams keep me going while I try to figure out how I'm going to get back to being able to drive and function normally again. There isn't much time left of this month! Where is the time going?
Tuesday, September 29, 2026: I got the healthy teen on my Yasashii Tamagotchi again! Yay! The blessed event happened yesterday while I was upstairs in the game room. I know *exactly* how to get Meruhetchi now, and it has made things a lot easier. I plan to write about it in detail, but for now, I'll just say he is very healthy and happy.

! I'll likely put up my orange and purple autumn lights later today to start the month off on a *good* note. There's something so comforting about decorating for autumn and creating that cozy atmosphere I've been looking forward to all summer. Here's hoping September will be a much better month! Soon time for sleep.......! 
I am so happy to have him back again. All the while, my 19-year-old Mametchi and my 31-year-old Metal Greymon are very demanding and likely don't have much time left. I've not been feeling the best today, so I actually changed the time on my DigiMon so he would sleep, and I won't have to worry about him for now.
