got a new filterpump, changed out the rocks that were making the water cloudy with some old blue ones from my parents’ house, and added the drops to get ride of chlorine and add good bacteria thursday. gonna let it equilibrate a bit longer and head out to find a local pet store to get two teenyweenylil guppies. guppies instead of goldfish; the pet shop lady told me that it is cruel to put a goldfish into such a small bowl… don’t know if that’s true but i’ll err on the side of compassion.

and thought i’d examine the “wheel of life” again. more balanced than my graph from 21 months ago, but still have areas that need attention. getting better at realizing it’s ok to take care of myself. that ought to be a no-brainer… why does it take so much effort?
this graph is demanding that i have more fun, so who am i to argue? :D

which should probably be part of a larger goal of making the classroom my own (i inherited it as-is from a teacher who left quickly). have painted the walls pink and green, recovered the bulletin board in lovely fabric. now, a fish tank. it is small, and will only hold one goldfish. i am having trouble with a pump and filter. just put three “bamboo” stalks into it. still no fish, and the water is too cloudy. maybe the rocks are not meant to be fish rocks. ahhh we will see.
