Year end wrap up, how was it?
Posted: 09 Dec 2011, 06:47
...and is there anything left to get done before the calendar rolls over?
My year was filled with ups and downs in the extreme. All's good in the end. It's December and I'm still riding my little Ninja 250. The climate is whacked.
Lost two of my Glass Cats on the same day in Sept. No indication of why. Investigated all the usual suspects and perimeters but came up with nothing. That was pretty upsetting. I always heard they were hard to keep and the whole group was thriving and then that. Worried myself sick for a while after that expecting someone else to die. Thank goodness, all the rest are doing great.
No new cats since I ran out of space but the ones I have are doing great and so is Mr. Flip the Yo yo Loach, no matter what I do to the top of the tank he'll still find a way to flip out of the tank if I don't plug and net every millimetre, his aim is quite incredible. Kuhli loaches are still a ball of twisty fun but man! they get big!
Didn't manage to get out on even one catfishing trip but I got a big raise and worked many more hours so maybe next year. Have a little bit of pull finally, doubled the sales of perennials.
My Mom got cancer, my Super-Mom kicked cancer's butt.
What this year been like for you guys? I remember lots of unhappy things had gone on early in the year but it looks like you're all still here and doing well. Thank goodness for that, I may not be logging on much but I like (..need...
) to do a lot of reading here. Still trying to find more of those odd-ball Farlowella.
My to-do before the year ends? I have to move the big tank to paint the living room. Eeeew. It's so much work at this point that it's almost worth buying and setting up a new tank. I guess that's what I've been doing - getting lazy..

it was hard down sizing but it's working out so much easier for me now as a 30L water change is far easier than a 100L plus with the change i've seemed to have got my passion back for the hobby.
so other interests such a Thai boxing, the weights Gym & fishing have taken a major back seat but needs must!
& hope everthing go's to plan for your move & new de-stressed life
