serenissimaI had a scare Friday night: my wallet was not in my purse when I got home. I realized I had left it at work. Fortunately, I had left it at my desk, not in the cafeteria, and it was still there when I went back Saturday morning to look for it. I already canceled my credit card number, but I'm willing to deal with a new number.
I added three cardinal tetras to my aquarium Thursday night, despite cautions about my pH being too high for them. They were all still alive Friday, but on Sunday around noon I found one lifeless, stuck against the filter intake tube. I'm not sure if he had been held there wedged between a plant and the intake; I don't think the current is strong enough to trap a fish. The other two look pretty as they zip and zoom around. Also, I have seen only one cory catfish for the past few days, so there is probably another dead body somewhere in there. It's very difficult to see some parts of the aquarium because of the plastic plants clustered together. I put them that way so the fish would feel secure, but I may have to rearrange them again so I can better monitor the status of the inhabitants.
[EDIT: as of 8 PM today, both cories are still alive.]
I spent all Saturday afternoon playing Guild Wars, after not having played it for a month or more. I brought one of my characters out of the "newbie area" and into the main part of the game. Sunday I finally went through the hand-me-down clothes I've received from my cousins and put them in my closet, in the laundry, or in the bag for Goodwill, as appropriate. I also uncovered a few of my own pieces of clothing that I'd been too lazy to iron after they were laundered; they'd been sitting around for months, forgotten. So now I have several "new" options to wear to work. Sunday evening, Chris and I played D&D. My character learned some local history from a conversation with a tree. :) I feel my weekend was a good mix of mental-health recovery & relaxation and productive housework. Could've used a walk in the park, but I'll do better next weekend.

Date: 2005-07-19 09:43 pm (UTC)I have Jade Crane (M/Me) who isn't around much (monks are hard to play without a regular group of damage-causers), Blank Pawprint (R/Me), and Lahar de Volcan (E/R). Lahar really needs access to accented characters, as her last name is supposed to use an รก. English-only versions. Eh. :)
Steve is also around, as Eldrea von Wolfwood, Azaada Krakenslayer, and one other that I can't recall.
