First Day of Return
Not a whole lot to catch you up on today.
Our first day back to school went relatively smoothly, I felt. The kids seemed to be glad to be back for the most part. I know I was glad to be back. I'd missed them. We have lots to do, so despite the temptation to just call off the rest of the week, I'm glad it wasn't done.
In an effort to get some more weight off, I've been going up and down the stairs ten times in succession, stopping only long enough to let my lungs recover. Did some more of that tonight, along with working my arms with 5-lb. dumbbells. I was already feeling pretty tired when I got home, but I am good and tired now! Should sleep well.....hopefully.
My fish all seem OK. Nitrite levels are still high. I might end up doing a more thorough water change tomorrow, including removing the last two bunches of plants temporarily (I have fake ones) and trying to suck some of the accumulated food out of there. I might also make a trip to the local pet supply store for a feeder fish to help keep the tank clean.
Such a riveting post! I know.....
I'm too sleepy to write much more. Tomorrow is Friday...a half day. And despite the very brief work week, I think I am glad.
Until later....
