Hello!!  I am Purple Zen!! 

Updated May 10, 2026

Coming up on the one year anniversary of Nikki's passing.  It's rough.  I miss her.  

Natalia is almost 18 months old!!  She is walking, talking, and doing all the things!!  I cannot believe how much bigger she is now compared to her homecoming on December 25, 2024.  We have had ups and downs all over the place and I cannot imagine life without her now.  

I have taken a significant step back from this game.  I am playing Stardew Valley and having so much fun with all the mods.  Real life is still busy, expensive and stressful.  I have many spring and summer plans but working on them is the tricky part.  Taking one day at a time.


RIP Nikki.  June 15, 2015-May 24, 2025.  You were a very special cat.  I cannot wait for the day to catch up with you.
