Um, this ain't a dusting....

So more snow last night. We were supposed to get a dusting....NOT what we got. I would say there's probably only an inch or two, but apparently traffic is ridiculous. I am so totally sick of seeing white. Good thing next week every single temp is in the 50's or I might go crazy. It was supposed to be nearly 20 today, but apparently they were wrong and this morning the high says 17 :(. Guess we won't be getting out....AGAIN.

On the fish front, I'm slightly worried about one of my babies. She either has an internal parasite, that should respond to treatment, or she needs to be fed less. I'm going to go with the first because she always eats way more than the others. I'm going to try not feeding them for at least today and see if it gets better. (Since I won't be going to get her any medicine!) Otherwise she's acting fine- swimming up a storm. They still seem to be pretty happy despite my inability to get the water the way it's supposed to be. I started using some cheapo bottled water to see if it would help. It's still not right, but maybe it's better than it would be otherwise? Anyway, I'm only changing a bit of water now every other day instead of every day.

Mira started swim lessons on Monday. She did FANTASTIC!!! The pool is only 2-3 feet deep which helped, but she was swimming on her back and doing her kicks. Her issue isn't that she can't do it, it's that she's terrified. I think this is going to help a TON. I still wonder if she'll choose to swim without floaties- we'll see what the next month brings.
