Fish Butcher Strikes Again

ANOTHER fish just died. What is with the Tank of Death??? I even put some Ammonia Lock in there and some Rid-Ick medicine. I have a secret theory. Perhaps the fish are part of a Death cult, you know like the Jonestown Kool-Aid party? One by one, they sacrifice themselves to that Great Toilet Bowl in the Sky. Good grief! The Tetra is belly-up and the male guppy is struggling to breathe. Not good.

In other news, my friend Tori was talking about her writer’s horoscpe for March. Just for kicks, I looked mine up. Now I am not at all a superstitious person, and I view horoscopes like I do the comic strips. Fun to read. Here was mine:

Libra: The perfect year to polish that manuscript or screenplay and get it out there. Two significant planets are perfectly positioned for writers..lucky you! Smart you, actually. You have the BEST chart of anyone to make this writing thing pay off well.

Now, call me crazy, but I am CHOOSING to believe that one.

In other news, I was interviewed by the Virginia Pilot newspaper last Saturday. They had come to our chapter meeting to meet romance writers and speak with us about publishing. If/when the article comes out, I’ll link to it so you can see what they had to say. What was strange about it, was the tv camera. I don’t know if they are planning a special feature on the news or what, but I had fun. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, :starwars: I used to produce my high school television show. Let me just say, I was having serious flashbacks. But it was fun. I don’t mind media.

I am almost done with my revisions on the Book-That-Darn-Near-Killed-Me. I should be finished by Saturday (please hold me to that) and then it’s onto something new.

Yesterday I was roofing. Yes, you heard me correctly. Roofing! I was about 15-20 feet up from the ground, balanced on the roof of the shed, hammering shingles. I even wore a tool belt. There’s something satisfying about pounding nails and watching something come together.

What’s the most interesting home improvement job you’ve worked on?
