This isn't really an update per se, it's just me popping in just in case anyone's wondering what happened to me. I'm fine, but I'm taking a little break from Petz. I was starting to realize that doing all of my usual Petz activities--opening up the game itself, going on the forums, entering and judging shows, etc--was starting to feel more like a chore rather than something I was actually enjoying doing. Honestly, with the over a decade now that I've been actively involved in the Petz community, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that burnout set in, but with it becoming such a normal routine for me I guess it was still a little surprising to realize!

With that in mind, I don't anticipate this break being a permanent one. I figure I'll probably ease my way back in a few months from now. Ease is the key word, though; I probably won't enter/judge so many shows, at least to start, since I think that was the main factor in my burnout.

Until then, I hope you all stay safe and well! If you need to get in touch with me for any reason, emailing me at commander30@hotmail.com is probably your best bet, since I'm not on Discord very often. (I know, I know, how old fashioned of me lol)
