I went out Friday with a coworker and her friend. I called my boyfriend twice before I met them, but didn't reach him either time. Went and had some drinks, got dinner, and went dancing. The DJ was playing crappy music. I got a call from a friend of the bf's, who hadn't heard from him - they had plans. Now I was getting worried. Shortly after, bf ( Read more... )

In other news, I’ve just about worked myself up to actually starting to look at other apartments. I talked to my apt. manager last night - he was leaving the building as I was entering it, so I took the opportunity to ask him about the smokers who have been smoking in the alley ( Read more... )

Chicken loves his new 5 gallon tank; it's warm and toasty, with tons of room to swim around, he has new toys that didn't fit in the 1-gallon bowl, and he even has a tank buddy, a little African Dwarf Frog ( Read more... )

Thinking of you and wishing you
happiness at everyday and for you !

(this is the text on the bag in which I am giving my Grama her Chanukkah present. Genuine Engrish!)

It’s water change day. He’s in the temp tank (it’s definitely no more than a half gallon - maybe less) and he was sulking until I gave him some freeze dried “junk food” - then he was happy. This new medicine makes a huge mess in his bowl. :( I looked at him last night and FREAKED OUT because he had little white spots on his body, behind his head. I ( Read more... )

Hooray! Tribal class last night was terrific. She taught several new things that we didn't learn last session, which I wasn't expecting, since I know Basics I is more or less a never-ending cycle of the same 6-week lesson plan. (I wasn't all that great at either, but you gotta start somewhere, right?) So after class, Sharon put out a sign-up sheet ( Read more... )

It was terrific! I didn't really know what to expect, so it was a little strange when the three ladies dancing came out and wedged themselves into a corner of the room, but before they finished the first song, it didn't seem strange anymore, and was just perfect. Was fun to see Renee and Sharon and meet the various Men of Infusion - when I got ( Read more... )

I seem to be getting into a bad habit of just doing these sort of drive-by updates. Here's what I've got for today ( Read more... )

I think I'm hitting the low point of pet deprivation. I have been researching and looking up dogs for a month now, and I just started this week doing research into Friesian geldings. All this despite the fact that my apartment doesn't allow pets, so I can't have a dog, and I DEFINITELY can't afford a horse - much less a Friesian! When I started ( Read more... )

Crossposted to bettasOn Tuesday, Chicken tore a fin during a water change. When I went to the Fish Store to get fishy medicine for him, I asked about heating his bowl, and the staff confirmed my understanding that there was really no reliable way to independently heat a 1-gallon bowl ( Read more... )
