Oh no! Get better soon!!! :(
I'm sorry about your fish! I WILL AVENGE HARRIET, EVEN IF IT KILLS ME. Perhaps if I get a fish-like pokemon in one of my many nuzlockes, I will dub it Harriet in memoriam.
I'm sorry about your fattened cats and dead rosemary, as well as your electric bill. Bad luck that that guy was your house sitter. At least the house didn't blow up?
I'm not sure if I've been to Virginia, but I've heard about the beach before. Where I live is rather humid (in the summer at least) so I understand perhaps? Oof. 7 people in an apartment that big? That's like torture! Overall it sounds like a pretty nice vacation!
Thanks for the complement! I like your avatar too, did you sprite the skitty yourself? (I have no skill at spriting, I tried one morning, and couldn't get past the outline I thought it was that bad)
