We now have fish…this afternoon I went off to check out the aquarium store near my house. It is friendly and has clean tanks with a good selection of fish. They even have some Bettas in community tanks…might just be getting one of them in a bit… That’s them getting a-climetized to the temperature of [...]

During my recent sojourn at my parents I was reminded that my old aquarium is taking up precious basement storage space and it was going to come back to the city with Abi and I. Recently Abi and I were in a pet store and she was really facinated by the aquariums there so I [...]

Yesterday my Mum called me at work to tell me that my Uncle Norm had died during the night. He had been sick for sometime and had been in a coma for a bit over a week so it didn’t come as a big shock. He is my Granmas younger brother and now she is [...]

Today instead of trying to cram in that last bit of Holiday shopping like most of the rest of the world, I’m at work. Specifically I’m Switchboard Operator today (this does not mean call and harass me!!!) and I love this shift…I don’t have to look as “Professional” as I do when I’m on the [...]
