some good news! hurrah!

Not much to report, except that Sunshine Daisies is still alive after my two-week trip home! She's actually gained some weight, too, on account of the automatic feeder I left balanced ever-so-delicately on the edge of the tank:

Normally I would do my whole "food or BABEHS?" bit at this point, but since she's been totally alone for weeks on end now, and since there is a pile of food stacked up on the edge of the aquarium frame where it didn't all make it to the water, I'm going with total and utter gluttony on this one.

I have to note that the placement of a feeder on the tank has not in any way improved my status with Sunshine. Even in this photo, she's totally eyeballing the camera like, "WHAT? You wanna START SOMETHING?" Then she does little bad-ass poses with her fins.

I didn't catch that part on film. But it TOTALLY happened. *nods solemnly *

At any rate, the punchline here is that Sunshine is alive and well, if not respectful or even particularly happy with my return. One out of two ain't bad.

More later. For now, school is about to start, and I must read for my first class! Yay for small victories!
