I know this goes without saying given Mantis and Death are still going strong, but it hit me that I have not been as busy here as I used to be.

Work has been, to say the least, hectic and harrowing.

There's a lot of shuffling around and I had a full week of parent/teacher conferences to get through.

Rest assured, though, that I am going to do what I can to avoid stressing myself out like I have been with work.

I'm working on a Mantis post for the month and one for Death as well.

Mantis will be visiting the magic tree and getting his old jacket from his short days on Shadow Moses.

Death will be out with Poppy and indulging her in the closest thing he has to catnip in addition to cat toys.
