An almighty struggle and nothing in particular
This morning it was an almighty struggle to get out and run. I bought some new running shoes a couple of nights ago and, of course, the novelty of those wore off when I ran on Tuesday. They are so much more comfortable to run in than the ones they replaced and I like them a great deal. But struggle I did this morning, but I did go out and do my fun run so that was good.
The "fishless cycling" of the aquarium is almost complete after about 2.5 weeks. My ammonia readings are at 0 ppm and the nitrites are between 1.0 and 0.5 ppm so that is good progress too. I am putting a little ammonia in every day to keep the bacteria happy and well-fed. I am going to be tossing some nice lower-light plants in there soon (anacharis, anubias, java fern) and then we'll invite the fish into their new home. I need to rebuild the caves that were knocked down and look for a better place for the submerged pirate ship the boys picked out.
My next big project is to finished stripping the baseboards that I started a couple of months ago. Our room is freshly painted and does not look finished without the baseboards. I would buy new ones, but the ones I have are so nicely grained and coped - I just don't want to give them up. I think they'll look good when they are all done.
I am now on facebook. I think that's a good thing. It is going to be difficult to maintain, but I think it will be worth it in the long run. I just "friended" my brother in law. Gotta love these new verbs.
All that to say that my life is not as boring as you thought, huh?
