We got home yesterday just in time to catch one of the Daryl balloon mollies popping out some fry. Now… this isn’t such a big deal for most people but when you see her pop out two and eat one before you can finish “OMG She just….” *gulp* It’s something that will stick with you till the end of time. Seriously. We doubled over with laughter but marveled at how she could have barely popped it out and turned around to eat it. This is part of the circle of life, I know… but whoa. Bitter.
“Hi ma! I’m your new--” *gulp*
She then proceeded to pop out another 25-30 fry over the course of a few hours. Darren and I diligently fishing out what we could to put in the breeder net and continuing to wonder about how we only saw 2 or 3 the last few times. Can they seriously eat THAT many???
About an hour in, I made the comment… “Well, if I had to give birth to that many kids… I’d probably eat a few too… if just to save myself some sanity in the long run.” ROFLMAO
So.
Now we’ve got 1 Orange Balloon Molly, 2 Black Balloon Mollies… 3 adolescent Black Balloon Mollies and about 25 baby Black Balloon Mollies. Anybody need some fish? I’ve got three happy adolescent Black Balloon Mollies ready to go to a good home and I’ll have at least 20 more ready in about 2 weeks! Any takers?
Also, tried “Flyers Pizza” last night. Talk about nice, they don’t skimp out on toppings and their veggies seem FRESH! Nice.
Unless they were looking at credit card debt, most people would love to see these real numbers. Me? Not so much. Just a random sampling of invoice totals sitting on my desk, all of them waiting to combine and make big beautiful checks.
*sigh* What I would give to have one for myself…
I found myself on autopilot yesterday and it was mildly disturbing. I had to go back to see if I did things properly, thus I wasted some time. It wasn’t a huge deal but it IS a weird feeling to look down and see the stack of papers about the size of a 500 count ream reduced to a handful of 10-20 in what seems like mere seconds. I’m not complaining about that, just that I had to go back and re-check what I had done to make sure it was correct. (not that I doubted myself, but I am held accountable if a $20,000 check ends up being a $25,000 accident or no.) Mistakes are rarely made and if made, are caught quickly.
It is a Bloodhound Gang morning. Listening to “Frosh Two” and it’s getting ready to cue “One Fierce BeerCoaster.” Humor is my savior. Without humor I think I would drown in a sea of red and black - & + signs. LOL
It is a slow morning. I purchased a new Java Monster drink in “Loca Moca” flavor. Mighty tasty but a bit too sweet. I’m glad I also got a bottle of Tropicana Fruit Squeeze “Lime Raspberry” flavor. Ah, fruit juice water. Yes, it does remind me of Cherry Limeade.
I have decided to give up on baby making for a while... it's extremely stressful and the studies show that the use of Clomid after 6 months do not show any marked increase success rate. In fact, they state that if you haven't been succesful in the first 6 months, chances are very slim that it's going to work for you. Indeed. So I will visit the doctor in August or so and take the next step but I'm tired of the rollercoaster of getting my hopes up and having them dashed time and time again.
So yeah... that's about it.
