feeling: drowsy and bleh
listening to: The Entertainer is stuck in my head >>
Blah, I hate this dry manufactured heat. I swear, when the air outside is bitter cold, I'd rather just be wrapped up in cozy sweatshirts and blankets with a mug of hot chocolate in hand than sit in a room heated to 75+ degrees. Dry heat makes me tired and achy and itchy. And yet I despise humidity too cause it makes me tired and headachy and congested. >> Some people just can't be pleased, huh?
I know, I'm weird. But it seems like every weather element manages to make me feel sick and/or achy and miserable somehow or other, except just plain and simple cool temperatures. Heat, humidity, wind, rain... all makes me miserable somehow. Except cold. Or well... anything below about 75 is ideal to me, as long as it's not raining.
It is rainy today though, which is probably the majority of the problem...
Anyway, I think I was right in my last post. Pixel is slowly getting worse, and now I'm almost certain it's because of that lump behind her gill. Because it's right between the gill slit and the base of her right pectoral fin... and she seems to not want to use that fin anymore. And as those who know bettas are probably aware, they keep those little transparent pectoral fins moving pretty much CONSTANTLY. So it must be causing her some discomfort now... it's been there for many months now and she never even seemed to notice it... but it looks like it's finally taking its toll on her. I'm starting to worry that she won't be with me much longer. I have a whole pharmacy of fishie drugs in a cabinet here for just about any fishie disease imagineable, but as with humans, there's not much one can do to treat a tumor... and one is hard pressed to find a vet who's willing to perform surgery on an inch-long fish. >>
I couldn't get her to eat earlier today either, which is ALWAYS a sign of serious trouble considering bettas are infamous for their monstrous appetites... especially this particular one...
And yeah, I'm gonna stop ranting about my little ex-psycho now. Making me sad.
So earlier this evening on Food Network there was an entire show dedicated solely to butter cream icing. Followed by one dedicated solely to caramel. And I swear, here and now... the next time I am anywhere near a Walmart, I am stocking up on Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra.
Yes, needless to say, I AM HUNGRY.
And this post kinda bounced around all over the place... so I suppose I'll wrap up and try to find some amusement to keep me awake.
[edit: no one told me about my dorky typo in this one... >> Netork. yeeeeeah.]
