Fred the Fish died this morning. :-( He had seemed pale and listless for a few days, and this morning he was wrapped around his little filter. I got him loose and he was still alive, but barely... his fin was all ripped and he just kind of laid there... After a few minutes he twitched a bit and he was gone. I am very sad... poor Fred.
In other news, I did find a place to live. It is smaller than what I have now, but the quality of the community and the place itself is higher. The kitchen is much nicer but the living room is much smaller... I get the keys on the evening of Saturday the 29th and then do the move on the 30th and 31st. Nothing is packed yet, of course... sigh... I spent like 6 hours yesterday getting all my utilities, insurance, etc switched over. Crossing state lines is a pain in the ass!
I have 20+ days to pack everything, throw out all the trash I have collected, sell what things won't fit in the new place, and all other various moving necessities.... Ugh... so much work.
Okay, well... time to cuddle the kitty and be a bit sad about the loss of the fishy... and then hopefully get a little bit of moving work done before I go to work this evening.
