I had the afternoon off, thanks to my second week on call in a row. I took the opportunity to stop by my bank again and get the information I need for refinancing. It looks like I can drop my interest rate by more than 2% and the cost of refinancing isn't as bad as I'd expected. It will probably run around $1400, of which I'll only need to put ( Read more... )

Dear Oberon,

I finally did it. I moved Benvolio and Tybalt into the 72g tank ( Read more... )

Fish-moving has been delayed once again, thanks to me being a moron. Once again. I tested water parameters and found that ammonia was zero. I knew it would be a little while until I could do more water changes (to correct the still-high nitrate level and slightly low pH) so I added a bit of ammonia to "feed" the bacteria until I could get it ( Read more... )

Today was a busy day, but I feel a bit accomplished.

First thing, I went out to the post office to gather packing supplies. On my way home, I stopped by the thrift store and picked up more yarn and fabric (because I really needed them >>; ) and managed to find a super-cute wooden chair and bench perfect for Pullip-sized dolls ( Read more... )
