New laptop!

Hewwo! I bit the bullet and finally got a new laptop for my online appointments. And, although this may be bold and coming prematurely, perhaps I could actually start writing my story ideas again?! Who knows, but the sky is the limit here. (Too bad I don't have wings...!!!)

I got the Microsoft Surface Go 2 256GB in the Sage colour, which is supposed to be tinted green. In reality it's very, very subtle and looks more like a dark grey. Bonus: Light solid build, and has touch screen capabilities!

I'm thrilled to put my gangsta Chikorita sticker on my laptop! She looks super cute and ready to kick ass and take names. Fun fact, Chikorita was my very first starter in Pokemon Silver! Yes, kiddo K picked her starter based on which looked the cutest and friendliest. I think she made a fine choice!

I also picked up the Arc mouse, which is curved and kinda gimmicky imo hahaha but a wireless mouse seems v convenient to have. Let's hope I have more of an online presence going forward with my new tech!

Life with Joshua was perfect, wasn't it?
Didn't he always say the words she wanted, needed to hear?

June Updates


Hello! Not much to report these days. I've pretty much abandoned a lot of my daily blogging and journaling. I'm looking to change this in the coming days, although finding time and energy to write about my day or my feelings can be hard.

As a fishkeeping hobbyist, I am currently at 3 running tanks. A lot, I know... for most people. I have my main community tank, which is a modest 20 gallon, and two smaller ~5 gallon tanks (one is the rimless tank that I got from April's Aquarium). Today I am planning to pick up a free new tank from someone with Lan's help. 

Honestly, I rescued almost all my fish and I am looking forward to the future where I can purchase the breeds of fish I want. Some notable species that I am a fan of are harlequin rasboras, cardinal tetras, and... IDK yet, but I'm keeping my options open.


For my friend's birthday in May, we went out to Salt Spring Island and stayed at a lovely beachfront cabin: Mineral Springs Resort. I had quite a relaxing time seeing the sights on the Gulf Islands and I must say that island life definitely seems enlightening. We even got the chance to visit Qualicum Beach, which is where my first doggo Jacks was born! I still remember the day we drove to pick him up in 2010 like it was yesterday. :)


I am also going camping up at Lac Le Jeune this weekend with a couple close friends. I have felt the need to be close to nature recently, to recharge my mental batteries. Although I consider myself a city girl at heart, I much lament humanity's disconnect from Mother Nature. Hopefully this camping experiencing will aid me in my heart's search for contentedness.

Salt Cures All

After more research on melafix, we decided to use aquarium salt and keep up with water changes instead. Happy to report that the tetra have all grown back their fins and are fighting fit!

We have one oto catfish left, and decided to grab some pygmy cories to keep him company. I hope there's enough algae in there for the oto!
