Achamian died today. I’m not sure when, but it was sometime between when I fed him (2ish, yes he swam up and ate) and 10:30pm. I’d say I’d miss him, but to be honest, it’s a lot of work to coordinate someone to come by and feed him, not to mention cleaning the bowl, buying him food, etc. So in case you missed the spelling of “deer”, he’s not my dear friend, but maybe a deer would make friends with him — they share a common enemy: bears, no wait. Goldfish eat them (I’ve had them in the same tank, I swear it’s true!) No wait, goldfish don’t eat deer. But bears could eat koi if they were big enough. And a bear will take down a deer if it’s hungry enough. Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? So therefore bears are an enemy of beta fish, and deer, and by the “Enemy of my enemy is my friend” analogy that makes Achamian a deer friend. hah. I love bending logic. (Shhh, don’t point out any holes in my logic.)

What else is new? Nothing out of the ordinary. Dad’s stressed, and can’t take a joke, and even if I’m trying to be helpful, he always takes everything the wrong way which pisses me off. He threatened to make me walk home from Grandma’s (half hour drive mostly at 80, you do the math) yesturday after he said, “I hate this cart” and I said “Well you have to pull it, not push it.” Geez. Talk about overreacting. Yet one more reason for me to find a new career.

People next door have had kids over all day, and aparently into tonight (if not all night.) Right now they’re playing “Let’s drum our fingers on the wall while giggling.” Fun I suppose, but they don’t sound too old, so why they’re not in bed I can’t figure out.

Finally, before I call it a day. Like to point out that since I got my elliptical I’ve lost 10 lbs. Hooray! Nothing like self promotion to make one feel better, eh? I can’t see a difference, but Mum at least lied and said she could. The main thing is, I’m now 10 lbs towards not being Michelle’s fat friend when she looses her weight. (Shallow? yes, but it’s motivating!)
