George is still alive...no thanks to me


So, I've been starving my fish. When I bought him the guy also sold me this betta food that comes in small round pellets. Apparently, they're too big for his little fishy mouth. He tries to eat them but can't hang on to them long enough to swallow any sustenance.

I asked Tamyra for some advice and she told me she went through several different types of food with her betta so I felt a little better but I was still worried that we was going hungy.So, last night I came home around 10 and decided to break the pellets into small pieces.

He went crazy! It's like he hadn't eaten for a week! (I know, I know, he hasn't.) I did the same thing this morning and he was all over that, too.

Sugar Daddy and I went to PetCo after work tonight and he mentioned that he broke up some of George's food for him last night and he ate it all. I was like, what the... He acted like he hadn't had a meal in ages four hours after that. Apparently, George is a piggy fish.

We came home with fish flakes, some 7 day tablets and dried worms. SD couldn't wait to give George the worms and I have to say he couldn't get enough of them. He sucked them down like there was no tomorrow. We gave him some flakes next. Those did not go over well at all. He sucked them in his mouth then immediately spit them out. After a couple of tastes, he gave up on them completely.

We cleaned out his tank and put in his new pretty rocks and a new little rock fort for him. I felt bad for making traumatizing him by putting him in a coffee cup while I cleaned his tank so I gave him a couple more worms when I was done. He sucked those down, too.

I guess I don't need to worry about him not eating anymore.

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down.

(Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) The home improvements continued in March. More complaining from Steven continued as well. Bzzzz. Bzzzz. Party lights on the back patio. Solar lights on the driveway and front patio. Hanging the lights was easy. The front lights were more challenging. Apparently, my front yard is a shallow layer of gravel on top of packed dirt impersonating concrete. Steven ended up digging holes with a screwdriver then shoving the bases of the lights in while I followed behind and attached the actual light part. It looks great except that I think all of the batteries (yep, solar lights with batteries) have worn out now so I need to replace them. It sure made my house easier to find at night. As is my way, I waited until the last minu

(Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) My birthday is in May. I don't make a big deal out of it because I don't want to do the math. Seriously. It's just not possible that I'm this old. Celebrating in a quarantine is right up my alley. However, my friends and family thought differently. Birthday cards from around the country. My friend Jim started a secret (to me) Facebook event and asked mutual friends to mail me a card. Funny side story, he put the wrong ZIP for my address. I imagine the post office staff in 85033 enjoyed processing those forwards a lot. It was very thoughtful and fun and my pals Brenda and Scott sent me a new game to play as well. Have I mentioned lately that my friends are better humans than I? They are. Drop offs and
