Squirt (the fish) is doing somewhat better. Last night I completely cleaned his tank out using boiling water so if there was anything bad there it would be gone, I also moved him to the living room where it's cooler because maybe he was too hot.... and as soon as he'd been moved and cleaned he was fine, swim swim swimming nicely. But this morning when I got back from work he was all tippy again. He's still eating and seems content enough, but when he swims slowly he tips over. It's like he's a drunk fishy. So my dad took me to a pet store where I got some salt for his aquarium which is supposed to help make their enviroment more natural and less stressful and if he has parasites it'll fix that too but the guy thinks that it's his little air bladder which sometimes in fish can get stuck so he essentially has a little bubble inside of him which is keeping him off balance and that can't be fixed... So either it'll work itself out or it wont :S He did seem less tippy again though tonight. Who knows, he's a damn plucky little fishy.

I forgot to write that when my mom came back last night she brough me a FIRST EDITION copy of The Five Little Peppers Abroad. I've only ever read two of the Five Little Pepper books and this isn't one of them so it's doubly exciting. I can't wait to read it, I'm just finishing Foxfire first. She also brough me back a newspaper article on the RENT movie, and then today bought me purple gloves... I think she's had a temporary revelation or something and is being thoughtful for a while. Odd but okay.
