Cornbread and Algae Eaters

I had my CT scan today. I'll find out the results in a couple of days.

Also, I finished the Short that I've been working on; I'll be submitting it to Ellora's Cave as soon as I've made sure it's edited within an inch of its life and is ready.

I had so much fun writing both the novella and the short, and now that they are finished, I'll be back to concentrating on my novel, and perhaps starting a whole new project as well. The novel is much more complicated than the short or the novella, and it is going to take a lot more time to finish. I miss it! I miss the world and the characters and the adventure ;)

If you guys get a chance, you should check out, not only DDD's blog, but also Tess Gerritsen's blog. Extremely entertaining and interesting!

The fish are acting really weird since we've moved them to the big aquarium. They seem to sleep alot more; so in one side of the tank I keep the light on, and in the other side, I have the light off. They seem to like the dark side more than the light side, for some reason. Maybe it will just take them awhile to adjust, being used to their tiny aquarium from before.

I'm going to get an algae eater soon; I've heard that only the Siamese algae eaters really make a difference in the algae concentration in the tank, so I'll look for that kind. I might have been misinformed, so I really should do some research. I also want to get a few more fish; three little goldfish are really not enough for this aquarium. So, soon as I get a minute, that's what I'm going to do.

My daughter loves old TV shows such as Lucy, Three's Company, All in the Family, Family Matters, etc, so we named the fish Archie, Lucy, and Jack. I expect that Urkel and Edith will be next :)

I stopped on the way back from the hospital tonight to pick up a few things for my mom; buttermilk, collard greens, and cream horns. Seriously.
She will eat the buttermilk in a bowl with cornbread, and the greens, she eats those with pretty much anything. Cream horns? She has a sweet tooth so big she has trouble keeping it in her mouth.

Mom also had an algae eater back in the day, and she swears up and down that her algae eater listened to her.
She said she'd yell, "Algae!" (that's what she named it. Algae.) "Algae!" and that it'd come popping its head up to see her, and she'd talk to it.
She became attached to her algae eater and was quite upset when it died!
Personally, I think she should get a puppy, but that's just me. ;)

She wanted me to take a large piece of exercise equipment off her hands the other day, but I told her I had no place to put it, which is true. She says, "Put it at the foot of your bed." And I said, "I don't want to do that, I don't want my bedroom looking like a weight room!" So she comes back with, "I don't know why not. Nobody is going to see it but you!"
Lordy, lordy!

Okay, I'm going to do some writing and editing now:)
Goodnight, all!
