What a Depressing Day

Must be one of those f'n Mondays. First off, I think I only got 4 hours of sleep because I was busy scanning old yearbooks and photos to post on Facebook. Then, I got up early to fix my and my Dad's meals, when I noticed the other fishies were picking on the biggest and oldest (8 years old) fish in the tank. He was at the bottom, just chillin' (I thought) and at first I thought they were just picking off the flakes that landed on him. Then I realized...they were trying to EAT him. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!! He was dead. :(


We bought this algae eater to clean off the the glass, but he got wise and was like, WTF am I going to eat crap for? I wanna eat REAL food! So he learned to swim up to the surface and wait upside down (imagine now, he was a giant nearly footlong plecostomus fish with a big sucker mouth) while Mom dropped tropical flakes into the tank. Pretty cool.


I feel guilty for his demise. I should have cleaned out their tank last weekend or this weekend instead of shopping and scanning damn photos. Or maybe it was just his time to go? I'm not sure, but I felt like sh*t all day because of it.


So I dug a hole at the base of the papaya tree and next to my mint plant (which, this afternoon as I was getting the hose to fill the tank up after cleaning it, I shot water at it and it fell over! ARRRRGH. It too, I think is dead.). Hopefully the stupid stray cats outside won't dig him up.

Kinda eerie how I took this photo the day before he died (I think he might have been dead yesterday). I went to the fridge (tank is next to it) and noticed he was perched on the rock, and quickly whipped out my iPhone for a shot. *sigh*. Rest in peace, Kimpa! I hope you enjoyed your 8 years of life underwater. Dear God, forgive me if it's death was my fault. ;o

I didn't log in yesterday so for 2 days, and somewhere along that time my Bodybugg decided to not register my calorie burn and activity. Son of a B! So I have no idea what my burn was for today and I walked my @$$ off during lunch too because I knew we were going to have:

Monthly birthday cake! They were nice enough to buy something relatively low fat (angel food chiffon cake) with whipped cream and blueberries. Supposedly 110 calories or so for the serving as shown. I ate it; it was okay. Kind of nice to have a dessert after 4 weeks...wish I had gotten more whipped cream but oh well. I didn't deserve it after possibly committing 2nd degree fishslaughter . Maybe I shouldn't eat the spicy ahi that my bro bought me for dinner. :o

Oh, yeah my bro came home from Vegas. He brought home these yummy yummy snacks, smokey sausage flavored with pepperoni. I ate 7 (110 calories) and then I think I ate 5 more. Uh oh. But mmmm mmmm mmm they are soft and yummy! Keep them away from me, I want to eat morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre!

Breakfast:

1 c kashi honey sunshine cereal, 1 c. soymilk, apple banana

Snack:

hard boiled egg, plum

Lunch:

1/2 c quinoa, 2 oz. angus steak, 2 c broccoli salad, 4 oz spicy marlin, angel food slice w/ whipped cream and berries.

Snack:

slice oat bread, leaf romaine lettuce, 2 tsp of chicken salad, 5 grapes, 10 pepperoni snack things, apple.

Dinner:

1 c white rice, 5 oz (maybe?) spicy ahi, corn on the cob

Hmmm...I ate a lot today. Probably because I was depressed!!! :( Never realized that I overeat/snack when I get emotional. I need to learn to not do that! And it's that time of the month. ARRRRGH!
