My New Birds

Okay, so now with death of Shrek, Gracie wanted some birds, and sure sounds like a great idea! lol

So I was able to find a nice size cage on freecycle and then my friend gave me her 2 parakeets. Kind of nice the way all of this fell together.

Here is Tweety and Sylvester - it's a really crappy pic, but since i've been told I need to update my blog this is the best i can do! lol

R.I.P Shrek

Well, last night I went to go and give Shrek his nightime frozen water bottle and I found him laying on the bottom of his tank on his back, and he had passed away. Not sure what happened, he was alive in the morning and ate some worms the night before. Poor ole Shrek. Such a cute little guy. Well at least he is now with is mate Donkey.

Catching up on drama

Okay, so we know the drama that somebody in my building doesn't like my Halloween decorations. Well, see that's the problem. You shouldn't have said that too me because where I had just my little ole Gomez, now I have a bat, and scarecrows out and i'll just keep adding!!!



So this is what my balcony looks like during the day.....

This is what it looks like at night! So, if I need to, I still have plenty of room for more things!!!! lol Don't tell me to take my stuff down!!!!!

So over the weekend I ran into the president of the association and the vice president and they both told me i've done nothing wrong and to go ahead and decorate all I want!!!!! They said to ignore the note, which I've done already! lol TO have fun and go with it! I do feel better that I did see them so I know i'm okay. So, that's all the drama!!!!!

SOOOOO Much Drama!!!

Okay, so as we all know I just moved into my new place 6 months ago and I LOVE to decorate my balcony! Well since i've put up Gomez the zombie I guess i've caused a bit of a stir with the oldies!!! I came home yesterday for lunch and found a note that read:

How do you think the building would be if we decorated our decks like you do! GET RID OF THE STUFF! Building Tenant - Thank you.

Well, to answer the first quesetion how would I think the bldg would be if everyone decorated like me? I think it would look FRIGGEN AWESOME!!!!!!! As far as getting rid of the stuff, um afraid not! I'm not breaking any condo rules or causing problems! GO TO HELL!!!!

Well this is what my balcony looks like. Kind of a crappy picture you can see in the right hand corner my Gomez. How do you like my ghost in the bedroom window? I'll have to take a picture of the balcony during the day, it's so hard to see him. I do have a strobe light on him, but in the pic you can't even tell! lol

Anyway, if they think this is too much, just wait till the weekend when I go shopping! They haven't seen anything yet! lmao!

Have you hugged a Nurse Today?

Have you hugged a nurse today? Seriously, does anyone realize what they do for people? Do you realize what they do for your friends and family. Now, not because a few of my bestest friends are nurses, not to mention names, Tonjia and Necia BUT they do the jobs that people like I can't do.

My aunt is in the hospital, she is very sick. Friday night her nurse was in the room when I was there, and cleaning her up and getting her comfy. Here I stood there and could barely look at my aunt with all the tubes, the blood just everything, and the nurse came in and was so ever gently like it was no big deal. All weekend my aunt was blessed with nurses that have been with her almost all summer. They come in and take her hand and just talk with her. We feel better knowing when we leave they are in good hands.

Have you ever actually thanked a nurse before? I'm sorry the doctors don't do crap. It's the nurses that do the dirty work. While we were there we brought in cookies for them. Last time, we gave gift cards to the nurses. Just a simple thank you.

Nurses should have a recognized holiday for all they do for people. They are like god's angels helping not only the sick but the family.

My mind is on the nursing profession, doing something not everyone can do. I would never be able to walk in the shoes of a nurse. So, thank you to all the nurses who can do the work, there are people and families like mine who truly do appreciate all you do for us!!!

((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))

Fish Disease

Well, the last few days i've been having problems with my goldfish as far as the tank has been really cloudy. Which I don't understand why cause I have a filter, I do weekly spot cleans and I test the water levels about 1 a week or 2x a week. Depending on my mood. Anyway, I even went and bought a new filter cause I thought that was the problem. So yesterday I'm going to put in the new filter and look at my fish and this is what I see....

Now mind you, this is not my fish, but that scared the hell out of me! Look how nasty it looks! Then to have 2 of them looking like that! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

So I call the petstore and they tell me they have pop eye disease...http://www.fishdeals.com/fish_diseases/pop_eye/ if you want to check it out. So basically I went back to the petstore to get the antibiotic to put into the tank, I have them in a 'hospital tank" and i'll clean out the big tank, get it all sterile again, let the filter run for a bit with the meds and then i'll put them back in it. For now they are in a small tank with the meds, and hopefully it'll work.

Worst case scenerio, they will die, or could be left blind! We'll wait and see! Anyway, that's what is going on now! Always something!
