So yesterday I woke up to find my fish dead.  So sad.  I had him for over 3 years and I grew sort of attached to him.  He was so pretty.  I knew it was coming though, he hadn’t been eating the last couple of days and wasn’t swimming around much.  PLUS…he had two huge tumors.  At first I thought they were fin rot so I treated him with several rounds of tetracycline, but it didn’t do any good.  Then I found out they were tumors and there wasn’t much I could do for him.  Poor little guy, I’m afraid he may have been in pain and there wasn’t anything I could do to help him.  It’s a sucky feeling.  Now I can’t bring myself to flush him down the toilet.  Gross, I know.  But, it’s only been a day and Zack said he would do it for me tonight.  I guess this is one of those times when it’s nice to have a man around. 

Then my boss called me yesterday afternoon, which is weird cause she hardly ever calls me on the weekends.  She had some more bad news.  The lady who sits at the front desk here at work…well her husband passed away over the weekend.  We were expecting it, but that doesn’t make it any easier.  My heart goes out to her and her family during this difficult time. 

Also, one of our head foremen was diagnosed with a very aggressive type of cancer.  They are treating him with 7 straight days of chemo, but the outlook is grim no matter what they do.  My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family as well.

I hope the rest of the week goes on without incidence, for everyone’s sake.  Please keep the people I mentioned in your thoughts and prayers. 

God bless!
