feeling: wiped
listening to: something by Lacuna Coil stuck in my head
Another Thanksgiving come and gone. Dad actually attempted to cut a few corners in cooking this year - like, only one pumpkin pie instead of two (cutting the grand total of dessert dishes down to a lean 6 :P), and a slightly smaller turkey >> - but he still spent probably 25 total hours or more cooking when all was said and done. And yet somehow I think we have even more leftovers this year than we have in the past. He's not gonna have to cook another meal for like, a week... and after that it'll still take another 2 or 3 weeks to get rid of everything. Then the Christmas cooking can begin. I love this season. :P
It was kinda sad when they had to carry my grandma up the stairs to bring her into the house... but at least she felt well enough to come at all, I suppose. Still, at least last year she could still climb the stairs, with assistance. Every holiday get-together makes me wonder just how many more she'll be able to spend with us...
Anyway, that's that.
In random news, Phoenix is still a little punk. Hard to believe how much he's turned around since I cleaned all the algae out of his tank and got him new java moss and frozen food for the first time in months. It's like it took a year off his life. He even has two little bubblenests going on today.
And for those who remember the tiny pond snails that stowed away in the new java moss I got for him and the late Pixel... two of the four, the biggest and the smallest, remain. They're living quite comfortably in Pixel's old tank, which is filled to halfway with the leftover java moss that she only got a couple weeks' use out of before her tumor got the better of her. And little Tiny, who seriously was no bigger than little Pixel's eyeball a month ago, is now at least twice his former size. o.o He might even be grown enough now to escape Phoenix's big snapping jaws. Also, he has taken up the habit of crawling along the underside of the water's surface. How does he do that? o.o
I need to decide what kind of filter and second plant to get for my new 5g tank and find a place to set it up so I can put a new fishie in it and have two little wiggledancing punks in here again...
And now I think I'll go mess with my LJ dream log... it's been a weird couple of weeks...
