Death of a Goldfish






For really horrible breath try Nerf BreathBlaster!


My goldfish Walter died. The snail doesn't look so good either. I don't know what I did, except maybe there was something on the pitcher or the cup I used to change the water. Or something. I don't know. Fish are so tricky.


My friend went out of town so I went to visit her dogs a while ago in the middle of a huge thunderstorm warning. I got there right as it started raining and left when it started to taper off. The dogs were happy to see me. One of them is a huge pomeranian. Huge. So he barks all the time when he's not having one of those reverse sneezing fits. I don't know how he's not hoarse. Hopefully none of them die.

So it is officially Sunday now. I got Mockingjay at the library and for some reason I can't find a moment to read it. I was going to read it when I visited the dogs but the storm and the barking was not conducive to reading.

I am sad because even though my calorie burn has been way high and my consumption has been moderate I am still not losing weight. It seems like the logical burn more calories than you consume has been stymied. I do that every day and nothing happens. I don't consume equal to the amount I burn, and I don't consume more than the amount I burn. But my weight fluctuates up and down. Still. Nothing has changed. I burned 2456 calories yesterday. I guess each day is a new day. 760 calorie deficit (which means I ate 760 calories less than I burned.) Just thought I'd throw that in. I'm doing everything right. I have activity. I burn calories. Nothing. And then I will lose weight. But then one day it all appears back on the scale. Weird frustrating and stressful.

I tried Body By Vi and it gives me The. Most. Horrible. Gas. So I'm overweight AND ostracized.

Up your water intake! That helps get the pounds moving again. It's so discouraging, isn't it? I'm having the same problem.

Sorry about Walter and the snail. Snails need algae to live--I imagine you probably didn't have enough of that for the poor snail. I know I kept my goldfish water too clean--they need a dirty tank to survive. You are right--fish are hard. I always feel relieved when they lose whales and such at the aquarium--apparently they can't do fish either.

(holding nose) Sorry about the Body by Vi.
