You must look closely to see the fry in this picture. Some of them are up towards the top. That was before we had them all inside the isolation tank.

These are my pregnant girls. The one with the orange tail is the one we had her babies today. The other one is Louise. She will probably give us fry in a week or so. I'm hoping she gives us a chance to get Thelma's babies a little grown and moved out of the tank before she does so. I really don't want to overcrowd my tank. I'm already looking into getting another filter so I can get another one running for the babies until we can take them to the pet store to find new homes.

Go me! :) For my last two Turkeyday journal entries I've done the whole, "What I'm thankful for" type journals, so I suppose that's what I'm going to do again.
I'm thankful for....
...my tenacity.
...my loved ones. :)
...my dogs!!
...my 'pink' truck. (by the way..it's not pink damnit! I *HATE* pink)
...my health(when I don't have pneumonia or withdrawals from my meds)
...My job, but not because I like it.. but because it brings me in cashola.
...I'm thankful for being able to grow up. *grin*
...I'm thankful for hindsight.
...I'm thankful for rainbow sherbet.
...I'm thankful for grapes.
...I'm thankful for CHEESE!!!
...I'm thankful for coffee.
Hrm....This could just go on and on. So.. I'll tell ya what. I'm just going to stop, and go back to being mortally ill. *groan*
Oh yeah... gotta watch "Down With Love".... the movie as a whole kinda sucks, but the end of the movie where Renee Z. has her monologue about tricking him into loving her.. it fucking rocks. ;)
Okay. that said.. I'm going to go take three more advil and drink another gallon of water.

They started yesterday. The vertigo is the worst part.. the nausea that is caused from the vertigo is the next worst part. As long as I just look straight at the computer screen it's not so bad. Movement isn't good for me though.. makes me want to vomit.
You know what pisses me off more than anything.. I finally find some meds that work for me.. and I can't afford them.. and can't afford insurance. They should never have started me on them if they were going to stop treating me at the hospital. *siiiiiiiiigh*

I can pity Dawn's morning tequila hangover, and match it. o_0
Who wants to go to work for me today???
Nobody? Ah well.. at least I work the morning shift and I'm off at six.
On a lighter note, I'm glad to see that at least one of my friends is getting the love and honesty that he deserves in life.
You know, nearly a year and a half ago... I would not have said that. Not only was I childish and mean.. I was bitter about a lot of things. He and I came to butt heads, and it wasn't pretty. Might've been nicer to hang two cats over a clothesline tied together by their tails. *G* Anyways, after reading a journal entry of his...I can't tell you the relief I got from knowing that he might consider me a friend again.
I'd screwed up, and I thought it was unfixable. I'm glad that didn't stop me from trying.
Yeah... that's my morning hangover entry.. hope it makes even an iota of sense. :-D
Wish me luck at work..

Who gives a rats arse? |

Yeah, at the request of a good friend, I'm going to 'Share the Memory' of today's events.
You ever bent yourself over backwards for a friend, and somehow they still manage to twist a knife in your back? Hmm? Well *I* have... and let me tell you, it's no joyride.
In a previous entry, I mentioned a friend who is being wronged. Oh yeah, that hasn't changed a damn bit..she's still being emtionally raped without even realizing it. Or acknowledging it at least.
Let me just start at the begining, and you'll see what I mean:
(for the sake of secrecy, names have been changed..;) )
Anita has been dating Dick for nearly 3 months, on and off. They are disgustingly cute together. If, of course, you erase the fact that Dick is, well, a dick. He lies, cheats, bullies, and dominates. Anita seems not to notice for awhile. But the silence only lasts so long. Soon Anita becomes paranoid that Dick might be seeing someone else. She's constantly worried that he may find someone prettier(even though she looks like a wonderful mix of Jennifer Lopez and Lucy Liu) This is a sure sign of emotional abuse. This once proud, confidant woman has been reduced to a pathetic emotional state. Sound good to you? No, me either.
Alright, fast forward a few spats, and spending my lunch breaks consoling her and telling her that she can do so much better for herself.
A few weeks find Anita and Dick even more warped than before. They constantly fight at work (oh yeah.. we all work together, did I forget to mention that?)....which makes it tough, because all the girls try to comfort her. All is well.. but he watches this all on camera... and gets more angry...which only leads to more fights.
Fastforward again.... and proof that he's been unfaithful to her with our BOSS of all people pops up. She still hasn't heard...but everyone else seems to have. I find myself torn.. I want to tell her.. but I'm not sure she'll believe me.. or if I'll lose my job.
So.. instead... I give her my advice in the middle of a crying session one day in which she admits to me that all he wants her for is sex. Unfortunately... my advice must have hit home pretty hard. I tell her that he's a very angry, scared little boy who has to take out his frustrations on the people around him... and that she's the pincushion. She agrees, and then I promptly proceed to tell her how she can't change him.... that he'll have to want to change on his own. Again she agress. I go on to tell her that I truly think she would be happier single right now (after all, she has a very wonderful son to love and care for too!!!)
She walks away... and I smile, thinking I have done good.
Oh no.....what I have done?
Anita tries to break up with him, telling him all that I told her. When he asks her "Where did you get those stupid ideas..." She tells him the truth. "From Lindsay.."
Oh happy fucking day...
Worse leads to the seventh circle of hell.. and now I've lost a friend...(He has told her that she can't trust me and that she needs to 'be careful' hanging out with me)and made a very large enemy in the store. He confronts me.. calls me a bitch and other creative words..
And so the day comes to a close... and I'm not sure if I've made an awful mistake, or managed to get out of a situation that had no end.
Sometimes I wonder why I try to make friends.. I always just screw it up in the end somehow...don't I?
Ahh...c'est la vie, right? Tomorrow's another day.. blah blah blah...
I think I'll sleep until 3 in the afternoon tomorrow... that might be fun.
Take care my peeps, and remember...
You don't always have to be as strong as an oak....be the willow for a day.....they bend better in the wind. ;)

Oh, and tell her not to come running when you thrash what's left of her heart.. I won't be there for her.

Missy Elliot cd - Under Construction |

Tonight I concocted a new alcoholic beverage to scribble down and add to my collection. ;) (I'm VERY creative with the right alcohol...LOL)
Try it out... let me know what you think!!!
Toxic Tonic:
3 cups of lime sherbet
1.5 cups of your favorite lemon-lime beverage (I use 7-up)
1.5 can of frozen orange juice concentrate
1.5 cups of tequila(whatever your preference is)
7 drops green food coloring
Slam them all in the blender and mix away.
Another idea is to add some kiwi to the mix for a fruity bite.
Garnish with salt(or sugar!) and a lime
Remember, drink, responsibly. *grin*
Later!

Picture this:
You have a very good friend, and know that she is being wronged, and that she doesn't know about it.
What would you do?
You have specifics, and even proof about the situation...so you know it's not a lie.
What would you do?
You're tired of seeing her traipse around with the jerk, with that look on his face like he hasn't done a thing.
Telling her would be the logical thing to do, right?
Well.....what if telling her would entail a lot of outside criticism in you?
Would you still tell her?
What if telling her meant that you might lose your job?
Then what?

"Dantes Prayer"-Lorena McKennitt |

Well, doc.. it's like this.... I've been plagued by these dreams lately. Not the bad ones so much, though those do tend to pop their filthy little faces up now and then..
No.... not those. These dreams are.....different.
They are the kind where I wake up in the morning asking myself if I went to bed sober the night before when I know damned well I did.
The ones where I'm running wild through these heavy woods at night. My hair is always long and knotted, dirty and tangled. My skin is always pretty bronzed as if it has seen many unprotected days under the sun.
What was I wearing, you ask?
Well... something pretty nondescript... a white tattered shift perhaps. Nothing notable.. I don't remember to be honest with you. Maybe I was nude? No... I think I would have noticed that. Wouldn't I?
Always running. Wild look in my eyes. Always hunting, searching... though I can't tell you for what. I look crazy, wild, uncivilized....but never afraid.
I don't even seem to mind when my barefeet hit rocks and fallen limbs..even though they are bleeding.
Who knows... maybe I am crazy after all.. ;)

I've been doing alright since being out of the hospital, with the exception of the day I had those monster withdrawals... Ugh.. how miserable. I managed to find a few stores of Effexor XR from other people who take it til I can find a permanent solution to my problem.
Right now I'm just rapid cycling..... which makes from some pretty strange mood swings.
Hi, I'm hyper!
Nevermind.. I'm depressed...
Sad now...
Pissed off now...
Maybe you just shouldn't talk to me..
Wait! where are you going?! I need someone to talk to!
Hey! What's up! I'm in a good mood!
Blah blah blah...
Welcome to my nightmare... ;)
Glad to see some people have found the light again.. *point Shawn* Good to see you happy and posting again!!
I won't stop posting... promise.. lol..
On the upside of things.. Frankie has been in town a few days... we've just been getting ready for the halloween party. Woooo! We went to Sedona yesterday so I could show her the most beautiful place in Arizona.. ;) For anyone who's ever been.. you know what I'm talking about. If not.... look up some pictures on the net... you'll see. It's completely breathtaking.
On that note.. I need to get going.....another day another dollar. Must go grocery shopping friday..
I think that is all..
Wait.. no.... just a side note. I played connect the links from a friend of mine's journal (as suggested) and I have to say that the persons journal I came upon was hideous. Learn how to spell man..... 8-o
Okay.. THAT is all..

For all those folks who have been worried about me... I'm doin' alright. Just working a lot, keeping busy... getting ready for All Hallows Eve.. ;) No worries... I'm sure I'll talk to you all soon. I haven't lost my mind completely yet.
Frankie will be in town tonight.. I do not envy the drive she has to make.. been there done that. I told her to call me and let me know everything was going alright.. or if she needed anything. She should be in 6-7 my time. I'm so stoked! :)
Oh yeah.. Halloween is the bomb..
