I fear for my soul; I think it somehow got turned over the gods of fishly-ness without my knowledge. We were in Petco today for aquarium supplies, and I was trying so hard not to go look at all the bettas for fear of finding someone else to steal my heart, and also to avoid the indignant anger that the lack of care given them incites in me. But. Damn them, they've moved their stuff around again and while Jeff was picking up filter cartridges for AJ's goldfish, I turned around and BAM! Here's a whole new display rack full of the beautiful little boys. *headdesks* And there was a gorgeous Red, one healthy-acting fish among the lethargic and ailing masses, that deep solid velvety red with the faint hints of robin's egg blue along the scales to either side of his spine, so much like my first baby may-he-rest-in-peace. Alas, I did not bring him home. I've got to wait until space and finances are more solidified before I indulge this new habit any further. Especially since I just got Goujun less than a week ago under circumstances very like todays already. *sigh* But I was tempted. *wibbles* Mightily tempted.

Agh. Tomorrow's my last day of vacation. I think Jeff and I will go see Xmen. *siigh* I really, really don't want to go back to work. Not for any dread of what's to come, no, but just because it's so nice to be off. Ah well. All good things, and all that.
