update.

today is baby's one year birthday!!
aww.
seems like a damn lie.
on the 6th, he gets his balls chopped off.
happy birthday, son!!

my back has decided it is time to flake out again.
the wondrous joys of being incapable of standing up alone are phenominal!!

the trip home to florence was GREAT!!
we got to see matt but not ashes.
i wish we'd gotten to see her too.
my family is (psycho, but) great.
my brothers are too damn old.
gawd, let's not start on my sister!!

on sunday i checked the level in our tank,
which did clear up somewhat.
the water did soften up,
but the nitrate/nitrite levels were SKY HIGH,
and the PH was still above 7.6.
so i did do another round of the easy balance.
right now its just milky,
but hey, anything's better than neon green!!

i must retire to mah lazy boy,
with a stinky breath dog,
because my back is hurting again.

and because i am a shameless puppy mommy,
i dutifully instruct you to look HERE.
