**Update on Rags**

Well, I've cleaned out his tank, and added fresh water and the necessary chemicals to kill the ick. Now, we wait. On the upside, Rags did eat a couple of the pellets I through in there for him and swam a bit. Now he's not moving all that much but time will tell.

We're going over to our neighbors for dinner tonight so that ought to be fun. I'm hoping that pulls me out of this funk I'm in. The girls went off with Charlie to pick up a big suprise for mom (Sharon). They are our neighbors across the street. Great couple. Their kids are older than ours but we get along great. Sharon kept me company while I cleaned the tanks.

Mood: getting into the grove
