Busy last few days, err, make that weeks!
I just started setting up an aquarium at a local nursing home. I stop there with my day job, and having noticed a goldfish aquarium, offered to give the woman taking care of it some tips (she was woefully uneducated, but appreciated my suggestions).
That was about a year and a half ago, and recently they had some parasitic/unclean tank issues, and asked for my help. I gave them some more advice, and finally they decided (since they were about to redecorate the sitting area in which the aquarium was located) to replace the inhabitants with freshwater tropical fish.
They asked me to take care of that for them, and tonight I had my mom drive me out there (since I am without a vehicle right now & the nursing home is about 8 miles (13km) from my house - waaaay to far to bike with all the supplies I needed to bring along!). I transferred the gravel from another nursing home's aquarium (they had wanted to switch from the freshwater tropical I maintained for them to a saltwater aquarium, but decided not to have an aquarium at all - their loss (more time for me to relax, aka watch movies/spend online ;) ).
I service that account three times a week with my delivery job, so it will be a simple matter to keep an eye on the aquarium. In addition, they will do some daily chores, and save me the time of stopping out there every week or two to work on the aquarium. I think it's a win-win situation. I hope to make a little extra money with this new aquarium as well :) Always a good thing!
Well, off to bed with my tired bones... I'm still getting over a bit of a sore throat, and with all the activities (work) of the last two weeks, I need to make rest a priority! As plenty of people keep telling me, even God only worked 6 days in a row, then rested on the 7th (which incidentally is Saturday/Sabbath day, not Sunday - that is marked as a day of worship). Well, I tell them He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and then some - when I am financially secure, I will cut back to six, or maybe even five days of work each week! I hope that happens soon...
listening to...
Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts (the album)
I received this cd recently, and have listened to it repeatedly! :) Nearly every song is great. On a side note, maybe I should be heartbroken... she just got engaged to a Dallas Cowboys quarterback (and apparently she is on my "list") :D
