Past Days @ MindSay

When things start to suck, I feel the best thing to do is, of course, buy an aquarium.  This is what I have been escaping to for the past few days.  I read up on what I could despite the conflicting info you get on some of the fish.  I observed and studied my new little friends and think I got it all figured out.  My lil guys have a really cool tank with lots of neon and hiding spots.  Bubbles galore and I think I have provided the perfect lighting with some dark areas here and there.  They got it made.  I've noticed some of the tiniest of details in their behavior and some of which goes against a few of their descriptions.  Kind of like people with stereotypes.  The neon tetras passive eating for example may hold true with one, but the tiniest one is actually aggressive and will cut the bigger ones off at the pass.  As far as them swimming in a school, well it seems the glow tetra like the neons and they pair up one of each.  Guppies are like little puppies, just following the others and mimicking them--some funny cute stuff.  I had made a decision to get them a couple of hookers so they would lay off the platy for awhile, but have reconsidered.  I'll wait, since one of the male guppies is too little to date and is having the time of his life playing for now.  I also don't want either male rejected or fighting.  Gotta watch out for their self esteems ya know.   The female platy is pregnant and I've decided not to seclude her as I'm not sure when she will have them and I don't want her to be isolated. The male is really getting on her nerves but, between the guppies and feeding time,it calls his attention away for a few moments.  I think it will be ok.  If the fish eat her babies well, that will be sad.  It will also save on fish food and will keep the tank from over population.  I have provided tons of plants though to at least give them a chance of survival if they hide in them.  I may end up with over population issues anyhow  (will get a bigger tank soon) as I am most certainly adding some Albino Cory Cats, with their little pink eyes and tiny whiskers, to the mix.  They are needed for bottom feeding (although the guppies will go and do anything including copy the algae eater) and they are the cutest little fish ever.  I'm worried about my algae eater though, as I've heard rumors.  I'll just watch closely knowing that he may be the one that "they" say will grow too large and become aggressive.  He looks very similar in color to the albino cory cats and will eat more than algae.  If there is an issue, I will give Mr algae- eat everything- eater a new tank and a friend his own size.   Guppies and Albino Cory Cats are like little characters.  Fascinating. 

Yes, I need to get out more.  I've been out though and I don't like it there right now ;-)

I'm still struggling with my abscessed tooth ( more accurate would be my abscessed head since that is where the pain is )  Any treatment/drug wears off and it's got me wanting to drive my head into the wall or my self into a moving semi. 

Right now I am forcing down some healthy freaking water and I must say, Yuck!  I will finish however.  I just drink it like its a horrible medicine 'cause at this point--that is what it is.

Not a lot of bloggable info here lately.  I'm just making it through this thing for now.  All is well. 

I would also like to say that who ever designed the new bathing suit I bought can kiss my blog.  WTF?  One would think that in a certain size above zero they would allow boob room.  Good God!  I was trying for a public appropriate suit (if there is such a thing) so I went with what I thought was conservative.  It looked innocent enough on the hanger anyways. The size was right.  I put it on and it looked like a strip of medical tape across my boobs.  If the ass is this big, why in the hell would you think the top should be made for Fashion Flatsy?  I looked like a fat prostitute talking about some "Where my Jerry beads?!"  It was a stupid stupid freaking concept all together.  Hell,  I would have looked more decent in a thong and no top.  That is how bad this thing looked.  I wasn't shopping in a sex shop or anything after all.  I really cannot describe my experience but I can say never rip off tags till ya know.  I now have an expensive bathing suit I can not wear.  I'm bitter now and still wondering why even make that in that size and put it with all the one pieces looking all innocent and what not.  They even had this little hidy panel thing but all it did is pull the side seams in towards the belly.  Freaking attractive, oh yeah.  Emphasize some back fat and under arm boob or something!  I hope everyone is getting the horrible image I had to see in the mirror.......
No one went swimming that day to say the least.  We had some good laughs though ( at my expense) A fellow mindsayer  had a butt experience with her conservative suit as well, but I'll leave that for her to post lmao.  She was at least smart enough not to rip off her tag.

 I've almost got my door done and will work on it  when  I won't get interrupted.  I kind of like letting it age half done.  The paint is just sort of bonding or something.  I'm going to go in with more of an opaque thing going on next. 

I got a job offer and I think I'm going to accept it.  It will be in September and that would be good timing as the kids will be back in school.  Gotta gear up for this so to speak.  I can't be tooth aching or having car problems so these things will be taken care of.

I'm still trying to figure out who's face that was appearing in the back of a teddy bears head the other mourning when I awoke.  It made me smile.

Happy blog to all and to all a good blog!
