the death of a pet will still be hard for me

even if it isn't my pet! Have to leave for work but Jeckel? Hyde? the lighter one, wedged in the rocks and died. I always feel guilty like I should have been able to do SOMETHING to foresee and/or prevent all possible dangers... thePirate (formerly known as SPC) deployed yesterday (his fish). Taking Buh to the airport so he can be picked up by Aunt Sandy and wisked to Moga and Matey for the final packing, load the trailer, mop the floor and head out into the sunrise.
1654 hrs
Jeckel and Hyde are dead. Came home to find the second one succumbed to something, he/she is not wedged in rocks. Going to pick up Drox and will have him change water in hopes that whatever took them won't get Richard... a 12" plecostomus.
Tiney put up a "final" post in anticipation of the cable being shut off for her move . . . video of thePirate and Matey.
Buh is there to help pack, load and drive . . . and clean. He is great at kitchens and bathrooms ;-}

I hope I either have fewer "lost" days OR I don't notice them...

I got too little done today to even embarrass myself by admitting HOW little! Drox is gone with his dad for the weekend so I am blaming my nothing day on his absence - with no one to oversee, I had no direction. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Made Buh breakfast before he went to work, didn't feel well so I went back to bed, had trouble getting to sleep but I was up before 1000. Talked with Wil, Tiney and Aunt Sandy on the phone, 3 hours 'all told'. Puttered at laundry, puttered in the kitchen, puttered on the patio, puttered at sewing . . . took banana bread photos for Wil but didn't get them emailed yet... my USB ports and my computer are peeved at each other and Buh went straight to bed when he got home (1800) so he was no help! Tomorrow . . .
Le brought me home an awesome dollar lunch from the Farmer's Market, and she made a zucchini "apple" pie which turned out even better than Drox's zucchini "apple" cobbler, sorry Drox...her recipe used less lemon. She thinks it is overly spiced but so was Drox's - I think it is just what zucchini apple recipes DO, she's out buying ice cream as I type to see if it will help it taste better so I see it as a win/win situation ;-}
Richard is being a poop to Jeckle and Hyde and the little plecostomus keeps holding still so I think he is dead and Le is threatening to pour bleach in the tanks if I don't quit "obsessing" over the fish. I am just concerned, and losing sleep, and postulating out loud what MIGHT be going on with the inhabitants of my living room, that's all. I better feed the bettas while I'm at it.
Ice cream is here ! ! ! ;-Þ

I will hit the wrong key and post a blank entry ;-Þ

Not my original title when I sat down, but life happens!
I wanted to rant about machines.
Yesterday I spent time I didn't have to post a comment on El Cid's literary efforts and THEN when I went to post the comment... it vanished into thin ether.
I posted the book list from Ddonn's blog yesterday, Friday 15 Aug., and yet her sidebar shows my last post was 4 days ago.
FamilySearch Indexing is doing equipment updates and while it accepted my finished batches and downloaded 5 new ones, I have yet to SEE the new ones... problems with the servers that host the images.
Oh well, as long as my computer allows me to post my frustrations I guess I should be grateful, eh?
Time to take Buh to work, Drox and I tried but were unable to complete all our errands and running aroundness this morning... we have 3 betta fish, Lehi, Sariah and tba ;-}
(TBA would be my fish) although it is more tbd... to be decided than to be announced *0^
