I took a picture of my tat when I first got it 'cause right now it resembles a slab of burnt bacon on my ankle. EWWW! The damn thing got a little infected, I think, as it's taking FORfuckingEVER to heal. I think I may have washed it a little too much for too long, so now I'm leaving it alone. I also kept putting lotion on it...bad bad. Shit, you'd think I'd know, I have FOUR of the damn things! But it's finally starting to feel better. It had started being very swollen, sore and oozy on Friday and continued through the weekend. I considered going to the doctor and possibly getting on antiboitics, but the pain has subsided. Hell, I don't have a fever, there are no red lines radiating from it (a REALLY bad sign...I think it's blood poisoning by then) and the swelling has gone WAY down. I ain't no pussy! I kin handle a lil' TATTOO! No, really...it's fine. Just a little...uh...crusty and lumpy right now. Yum. Betcha just wanna poke it, huh.
Anyway, life continues. Things are good. I'm getting my yearly raise soon. No, not THIS paycheck, NEXT paycheck. Ugh. I just paid hella taxes and I NEED MUNNY. Man, I learned my lesson with taxes this year. Next year, things'er gonna be different. I also have to get my car brakes done, haven't had them done in about 7 or 8 years! They're finally getting very squeaky on me. Well, the raise is good this year anyway so when it comes it'll be lovely. Yay!
In saltwater aquarium news, my one and only surviving fish is now disease free. He's swimming around happily and eating well. This is very good, being that the tank has been running for 8 weeks as of tomorrow. Slowly but surely I will begin to add stock. I think Fred the penis snail has died, so I really want to get another one. Damn it, the treatment must've gotten 'im. It was an organic solution so it wouldn't do too much damage, but still, a week of putting that stuff in the tank had to have some ill effects. I guess. *sigh* I've learned though, that it's best to quarantine new fishies before I put them in the main tank. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this, as I have NO room for another tank, no matter how small. I guess I can kinda quarantine it at the store. I'm pretty sure they'll let me. I'll just ask when they brought in the fish I'm interested in, put a deposit on it and see that it's healthy in their tank in the coming weeks. Hmmm, I guess we'll see...
I'm looking very forward to this weekend, we're gonna have a blast! Ron has a whole day planned on Saturday...breakfast, a movie and a visit to a museum exhibit of some sort. He says it's a surprise. AWWWW! Innn' eee KEWT?! I've been enjoying my husband SO MUCH lately! We've been getting along wonderfully, due to compromise on both our parts. I have been trying my best to keep myself occupied during the week so that I don't get all depressed that he's not around and take it out on him when I talk to him on the phone. Then when the weekend comes around we just enjoy each others company and relax 'cause we work so hard during the week. I've been trying to stop worrying so much about cleaning the house so much and relax. I do little things here and there during the week, while Ron is at work...like laundry, vacuuming and dusting. Ron has gotten so much better at cleaning up after himself, too. And if he doesn't, it's not a big deal. Life continues, even when there is a dirty ashtray on the coffee table.
Well, it's almost time for our weekly lunch outting. We've been going to lunch every Wednesday or Thursday for a couple of months now and it's working out great. I'm gonna go finish up so's I can be ready. Later!
