The other day, we (that is, Mom, Dad, and the four 'dings) went back to the pet store where the other three 'dings had gotten their fish, because 'ding4's tetra, Rhubarb, had died, as had 'ding1's goldfish, Marlin and Coral (think about Finding Nemo). This time, we left with four fish: another tetra (again named Rhubarb) for 'ding3, two guppies (unnamed as yet) for 'ding1, and, wonder of wonders, a betta fish (named Epsilon) for me!
The worker told me to feed him every other day, so, as this is the second day I've had him, I didn't feed him this morning. The worker also said that bettas are livelier when the bettas' owners talk to them, so I have been faithful to say good morning to Epsilon every morning, good night to him every night, goodbye to him whenever I leave the house, and hello to him whenever I return to the house. He seems to be enjoying himself.
Now, for the books part of the title of this post. Like I promised two months ago, when I finished The Count of Monte Cristo, I read, in this order, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, Crime and Punishment, and, today, I started Les Miserables.
Goodbye after this short post.
