‍Part Thirty-Four  January 6th- January 12th, 2013

‍ On Sunday, January 6th, I woke up and I checked on Toby.  I also got ready for church, and I fed Toby half of his shrimp pellet.  Then, we went to church, where I was reminded that John 3:16, would always show me GOD's love.  I was also reminded that Jesus loves other believers, and everyone, and that GOD's love would always live in me.  That if I love my brothers and sisters in Christ, I should always show them GOD's love, because I have Christ in my life.  After church, we came home , and the rest of the day was a good one for Toby and all of us. That evening, mom and I took down our big Christmas Tree, and got the decorations and containers all organized.  Before we went to sleep, I gave Petie and Toby bed time kisses and wishes, then I prayed and I went to sleep.

On Monday, January 7th, I turned on Toby's light , and I also fed him his half of the alage pellet.  Then, I watched the new episodes of LMAD, and TPIR, and I cleaned Petie's cage, before I worked on taking down the Christmas decorations in my room, since I did not have to clean the aquarium.  That project pretty much took the rest of the day , so all that was left to do was our special bed time routine, and I blew Petie and Toby more kisses, before I had more prayer time and I went to sleep.

On Tuesday, January 8th, I woke up in a good mood, Petie was happy, and Toby was happy, I could tell that Toby was happy because his tail was wagging, as he swam around.  I gave him his half of the shrimp pellet.  Then, the only thing I did for the rest of the day was get back to studying for school.  Later on, it was time to feed Toby again, and have our bed time routine, before I spent some more time in prayer, and I went to sleep.

On Wednesday, January 9th, I woke up in another good mood.  I was so happy that Petie and Toby were happy.  I did not have too much to with the aquarium, so I spent more time studying , after I fed Toby his half of an algae pellet.  I also had to run some errands with my mom, and we had supper, then as the night went on, it was time for to feed Toby his half of a shrimp pellet, blow kisses to Petie and Toby, have my special prayer time, and go to sleep.

On Thursday, January 10th, I had the same day as the day before, I fed Toby his half of the algae pellet, and I was thrilled that he was still doing great.  I also spent more time studying and in the evening, I fed Toby another half of his shrimp pellet.  Then, it was time to blow more kisses to Petie and Toby, before I prayed, and I went to sleep, after I watched Person Of Interest and Elementary.

On Friday, January 11th, I fed Toby his half of the algae pellet, and he seemed to be doing well, and his watery world was in good shape, so once again I did not have to do too much.  That day I took some time away from studying, and I played some video games.  I tried my best to get inside the Cave of Wonders in Kingdom Hearts, but I still could not get anywhere in that game. Then, I played my SIMS game, and some Sonic on my PS 2.  After playing the video games, I relaxed and that night, I watched the line up on Disney.  Before I went to sleep, I fed Toby his second half of his shrimp pellet, and we had our special routine, before I had my bed time prayers, and I went to sleep.

On Saturday, January 12th, I woke up, and I fed Toby his half of the algae pellet.  I also spent that day working on my chores like dusting my room.  We had supper, and I got things ready for church on Sunday morning, then I had my special routine with Petie and Toby , after I had fed Toby his other half of the shrimp pellet.  Then, I blew kisses to Petie and Toby, before I spent even more time in prayer, and I went to sleep. 

The second week of January 2013 was another peaceful one for Toby and the aquarium, next week I will share how things were in the third week of January 2013 .

Until Then!

Enjoy Your Weekend!

God Bless!

   ‍Part Thirty-Five  January 13th- January 19th, 2013

‍On Sunday, Januarary 13th, after I fed Toby , and we went to church, I went back to ‍Petco, ‍to see if I could get a fish friend for Toby.  However, the test results from my water in the aquarium, told me that I had to endure some more frustration, because of the PH level .  I was not too happy to hear that it was low, but the person that I trusted gave me the suggestion to try another type of Ammonia treatment.  She helped me find another kind, and I also listened to her instructions to do a 20% water change and to add the Ammonia treatment when I got home.  So, I did just that and even though I was bummed, Toby let me know that he was fine by himself.  I also added some new airstones, then later on that night, I blew kisses to Petie and Toby, had my prayer time , and I went to sleep.

On Monday, January 14th, I woke up , and I made my bed, I also fed my Tobster , then I talked to my Petester.  After the rest of my morning routine, I spent some time studying, and the rest of the day was pretty good for Toby .  I just fed Toby, and I gave him more air kisses, before I gave Petie kisses, and I had my prayers, then I went to sleep.

On Tuesday, January 15th, I woke up again, and I made my bed.  Then, I fed Toby , chatted with Petie, and he was happy.  We watched LMAD and TPIR .  After I had some breakfast, I cleaned Petie's cage.  I also continued studying Lesson 3 .  Later on, I fed Toby, blew kisses to Petie and Toby.  Then, I spent more time in prayer, and I went to sleep.

On Wednesday, January 16th, I did the same things that I did on the day before.  I took care of Toby and Petie, studied, and later on that night , I fed Toby again, blew kisses to both Petie and Toby. and I also hugged my mom , before I spent even more time in prayer, before I went to sleep.

On Thursday, January 17th, I woke up, made my bed, I fed Toby and checked on him, then I checked in on Petie, we watched LMAD and TPIR.  Then, I cleaned Petie's cage, ate lunch, and after lunch, I checked the water to see if the PH level had gone up, and it had, but I still did a 20% water change to help it go up a little more.  The day ended with a hug from my mom, before I watched Person Of Interest and Elementary.  Then, I said my special good nights to Petie and Toby, had prayer, and I went to sleep.

On Friday, January, 18th, I took care of Petie, after I fed Toby, then later on, while Toby had fun exploring his watery world, I took Petie to the den with me.  He watched me play some video games  on my new X Box 360 , and I tried out KINECT Adventues.  I was happy when I won a Silver in Rally Ball, then I tried a rafting game where I jumped, dodged, and moved around all of the place.  I also checked out Disneyland Adventues .  I created a kid, a girl, danced wtih Mickey Mouse, and then I had to look for Donald Duck's hat on the Matterhorn, where I had a snow ball fight with Yetis, that I had to knock down, and at the end I accidently hit the wrong button, so the game had me go through all four parts again.  Once that happened, I stopped for the night , and I watched TV with Petie.  Then, I had my special good nights with Petie and Toby, before I had my prayer time, but after I went to sleep, I had hard time staying asleep , when my left wrist started to hurt me so badly, that I just went to my mom.  My mom helped me wrap it in ice, she also had me take some Tylenol.  I prayed some more and then I finally went back to sleep.  The Tylenol helped with the pain, but the LORD helped me to sleep.

On Saturday, January 19th, I woke up praising GOD!  My wrist felt so much better.  I still took things slow, but I could move my wrist again.  Mom was happy too, and we made our special breakfast, that was delicious.  After breakfast, I slowly made my bed, and I got ready.  Then, I fed Toby, and I gave Petie his bath and royal treatment, before I took some time to rest, before I helped mom with supper, and I picked out an outfiit for church.  Then, I said my special good nights to Petie and Toby, had prayer, and I went to sleep.

Stay tuned next week to find out what happens next!

Enjoy Your Weekend!

     ‍Part Thirty- Six  On Sunday, January 20th Toby Got A New Fish Friend!

‍Sunday, January 20th, started out as a normal Sunday morning.  I woke up, got ready for church, and I fed Toby his half of the shrimp pellet.  I was happy becase my hand felt even more better.  I did not have any pain, so I was able to take care of Petie with out having to take things slow.  When we went to church, I told people about my video game , and what had happened to my hand.  Then, I turned all of my attention over to GOD .  During the message, I was reminded that my citizenship was of heaven, and of GOD's unconditional love.  After church, we had lunch , before I took a sample of my water from the aquarium.  Once, I had my sample ready to go, we went to ‍Petco.  ‍Where I had my water sample tested to see if the properties had improved enough for me to bring home a new fish.  I tried not to act too anxious , while I waited for the results, and then I heard that all of my prayers had been answered!  My water was good!  I finally was able to get a new fish, and a friend for Toby! 

I had some help in selecting a Spotted Cory that was healthy and active.  I named him Skipper, a name that I had gotten from a website that had all kinds of names for fish.  I was also told that I could stop using the ph up!  My PH was up , so it was where it should be.  I was beyond thrilled after I heard that, and then we paid for our new fish friend, Skipper, before we brought him home. Once we were home, I floated Skipper's bag, until I heard the timer go off.  During that time, a very interesting thing happened, Toby came up to the bag, then Toby and Skipper kind of touched each other , before they both quickly retreated.  I had never seen that kind of thing happen before , so it got my attention for sure.  After the timer went off, I completed the rest of the acclamtion process , then I was ready to Skipper, after I slowly opened the bag up, before Skipper started to swim out, but then for some reason he got stuck, so I followed my mom's suggestion to submerge his bag deeper down into the water.  After I did that, I gently guided Skipper out of his bag.  Then, he was finally free and he quickly found a place to rest, so I left the light off and I observed the two of them for a little bit from my bed, so that I gave Skipper some space.  That was when I noticed that Toby wanted to chase Skipper , but I also saw how Skipper defended himself. 

Then, I just tried to leave them alone and let them be.  Later on that night, I fed Toby his half of the algae pellet, before my mom and I hugged, and I had my special good night routine with Petie, Skipper, and Toby, turned off Toby and Skipper's light, before I covered Petie's cage.  Then, I spent time in prayer, and I thanked the LORD for helping my hand to feel so much better, and for answering my prayers about bringing home a new fish friend for Toby.  I put Toby and Skipper in HIS hands, and when I went to sleep, I was happy to have Skipper with us.

Stay tuned for next week to find out if Toby ever stopped chasing poor Skipper!

Until Then!

Enjoy Your Weekend!

Please pray for all the victims and their families from the mass shootings that have happened this month !

God Bless!

      ‍Part Thirty-Seven  Monday, January 21st, 2013

‍On Monday, January 21st, I had a moment of happiness when I saw Skipper eat his half of his shrimp pellet!  Toby acted like he wanted to eat all of the food, but Skipper got some food too.  I was a little concerned about Toby's behavior, but as the day went on I did not see him chase Skipper.  Then, the rest of the day after that went by without any problems.  So, that night I fed Toby and Skipper , before I had my special good night routine with Petie , Toby, and Skipper, and I had my prayers, which one of them was for the Lord to watch over Petie, Toby, and Skipper while I was sleeping, then after my prayers, I went to sleep. 

Stay tuned next week to find out if Toby was a bully, or if Skipper just needed to learn his place in the aquarium!

Until Then!

Enjoy your weekend!

God Bless!  Please keep the people in California and the first responders, especially the fire fighters as they all deal with and fight wild fires.  I am praying it rains for them soon, and that the fires will be put out for good. 

 ‍Part Thirty- Eight  Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013

‍Tuesday, January 22nd started out very early .  I had a special day planned with my church, but I was really concerned about Toby.  I did not want to be away from home, and find out that Toby really went after Skipper.  So, I looked up some information on aggression in fish.  I hoped that Toby was not a bully.  The information I found was helpful and I learned that fish had a pecking order, and that the first fish was in charge.  When it was time to uncover Petie's cage, I also checked on Toby and Skipper, before I fed them each their half of the algae pellet.  Toby tried to keep Skipper away from his piece and he thought he could eat both.  In that moment, I found out that I had a "Mommy look."  I gave Toby the look and it made him stop, drop his food, and then he sulked in the corner.  I told Toby to be nice, then I got ready and told Petie where I was going.  I had a waffle for breakfast, got my teeth brushed, cleaned Petie's cage, and then it was time for my ride to arrive.

I hugged my mom, and she told me she would watch Toby and Skipper , for me not to worry, and have fun .  I thanked her, and got into the SUV, and on the way to our destinatiion , we all talked about the shows at ‍Holy Land Experience, ‍our pets, and animals in general.  Once we made it to Orlando and ‍Holy Land Experience, ‍we met up with the rest of our group from church, and we got our tickets, before we all went to the Tabernackle , where we all sang praises , I also watched the performers dance, it really looked like a lot of fun, and I sang along with a song I had heard on Z 88 . 3 on my radio.  After our time of worship was over, we followed one of the disciples over to a big lake, and we waited for Jesus to arrive (actor portraying Jesus.)   While we waited we all leanrned how news would be shared in the Biblical times, it was people shouting things over to their neighbots on their roof tops, because that was the only way, and he shouted , "Jesus is coming!" Over to another person, and then we all saw Jesus walking on the road, before we all took an active part in listening to Jesus.  The actor really looked like Jesus and sounded like Jesus, we listened to the famous parables and the sermons.  Then, we became a part of the 5,000 that Jesus fed with only two fish and five loaves of bread, ours were fish crackers, but it was neat to see the BIBLE come to life.  After that presentation was over, one of the ladies in my group, let me use her cell phone, and I called my mom.

I lef her know that I made it there safely, and I felt so much better when she told me that Toby and Skipper were eating their food together!  That news made me instantly relax.  I thanked my mom and she told me to enjoy myself.  I hung up, and I thanked the lady for allowing me to use her phone.   Then, we saw a show called , ‍LEGNA ‍, it was all about God's angels in disguise that was shared by another angel that was in disguise, he shared stories about Daniel and the Lion's Den, along with other stories where God 's angles stepped in to save those who believed in GOD, the angel's appearance made some people stay away, but a young waiter showed him kindness and brought him some iced tea, he was the one the angel was sharing the stories with, and at the end he heard about his mother that had passed away from cancer, how much she loved him and wanted him to have the same faith in GOD that she did, and the young waiter ended up believing in GOD too!  We all clapped and cheered , then at the end of the show, the angel in disguise got on his motorcycle and he said, " ‍LEGNA ‍is ANGEL spelled backwards, you never know when you will entertain an angel in disguise."  He rode off on his motorcycle , and after we left , we looked around in a cave, where there was a model of the birthplace of Jesus, and there was another part of the cave where guests could have communion with Jesus.  I also saw a beautfiul pool with a water fall , where people could get baptized , but that particular day was too cold.  I saw a kid's area , before I saw the Ten Commandments , along with a boat.  We were all very impressed at how the entire park was so clean.

This part is very long, so I am going to stop here for now , but I will finish this later today!

God Bless! 

 ‍Part Thirty-Eight Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013 Continued

‍We had lunch , and we went to celebrate the Lord's Supper with Jesus.  We each were given a little wooden cup, and I kept mine.  Another woman that was visiting with our church, joined our group, and she was worried what Jesus would think of her looks.  I told her that it did not matter to Jesus .  HE looks at her heart, and it is what is on the inside that HE cares about.  She thanked me for saying that.  What I said was true and would always be true, Jesus loves us for who we are, not where we are from, not our outer looks, HE shares HIS unconditional love the same love that GOD has for us with anyone and everyone.  Then, we joined a larger group of people and had a tour guide talk to us about places that were very important in a huge model of Israel , we walked through several rooms, and he made us laugh with his jokes too. 

After that, we watched some more of the shows, we kind of came in on the tale end of them, but one was about forgiveness, and another show was about the women that were impacted by Jesus telling why they loved HIM, and not romantically, their love for HIM was on a deeper level .  At the end of the show, a Roman soldier came and arrested Jesus, and we all watched HIM being taken away.  All of the shows that were performed tied into the final show of the day, ‍PASSION OF CHRIST ‍, the whole park shut down, and all of the cast brought every moment of Jesus's life to life for us.  From HIS birth to HIS baptisim , which was amazing , we all could see HIM as he was laid back fully into the water, no sprinking , he was dunked .  When HE rose up, we all could see the droplets of water fly off of the tips of HIS hair !  Seeing HIM being crucified and watching Satan laughing with every pound on the nail, made me cry, but in the end Jesus had one final battle with Satan , and gave Satan the final blow of death , before he was led away in chains .  As the song We Shall Behold Him ‍, played, Jesus came dressed in a royal robe with a gold crown on HIS head, we all clapped and cheered.  Then, people were given an opportunity to pray and ask Jesus into their lives, and many people did.  They were saved, and they gave their hearts and lives to Jesus.  I used that time in prayer to renew my committment to HIM.  Then, we headed home, and I thought about working there, it was a wonderful way to reach out to people from all over the world for Jesus.

I also rested on the way home, and I was so happy to be home again.  Petie was so happy to see me, and I told my mom all about ‍Holy Land Experience ‍, she said, "Wow."  She also asked me some questions, and she was so glad that I had a great time .  I spent the evening relaxing, and I happily fed Toby and Skipper.  It was so exciting to see them eat together again, I told Toby that he was a good boy, and that I understood that Skipper had to learn his place in the aquarium, and that Toby had first pick of everything.  Then, we had our special good night routine, before I gave Petie some love, covered his cage, and I had prayer before I went to sleep. 

Stay tuned next week to see what happened next!

Until Then!

Have a great weekend!

God Bless! 

      ‍Part Thirty-Nine  Saturday, January 26th, 2013

‍Not much happened , far as Toby and Skipper were concerned, until Saturday, January 26th , after lunch , I tested the water, and the PH was 7.2, and I did not have any nitrates!  I still did my 20% water change, and I added the ammonia treatment .  Then, I spent the rest of the afternoon watching the 2013 U.S. Nationals .  Later on, I had my special good night routine with Petie, Toby, and Skipper.  Then, I spent time in prayer, and I went to sleep. 

This part was short and sweet, stay tuned next time to see what happened next!

Until Then!

Enjoy Your Weekend!

 ‍   Part Forty The Last Days Of January

‍The last days of January started with Sunday, January 27th, and that day was Skipper's first week anniversary !   It was also the day I had an algae attack, it was everywhere.  So, we went to ‍Petco‍, and a nice young man helped me find the right treatment, he told me it was the same kind of algae treatment that he used.  I also selected another LIVE plant that was called a Peacock Fern.  When we went to pay, the other young man I thought was cute, was our cashier.  I told him about Petie, and my fish, Toby and Skipper.  He was really nice and my mom told me , that he smiled at me.  I was happy, then I went home, and relaxed for the rest of the night.

On Monday, January 28th, I fed Toby and Skipper their shrimp pellet , their half, then later on that day, I performed my monthly cleaning, before I planted my Peacock Fern that I named Percy.  I also added the algae treatment.  Later on that night, Petie, Toby, and Skipper had their special bedtime routine, before I spent time praying, and I went to sleep. 

On Tuesday, January 29th, after lunch I made another small water change.  Toby and Skipper seemed to like Percy, and Percy looked happy in my five gallon aquarium.  The rest of the day was not very eventful and like every night , we had our special bedtime routine, that included my prayers before I went to sleep.

On Wednesday, January 30th , I did not have too much to do, I fed Toby and Skipper in the morning and at night, they interacted more with Percy, in  a good way, they did not up root him or anything like that.  We ended the day with our special bedtime routine , before I spent more time in prayer and I went to sleep.

   ‍Part Forty-Five February 17th- February 19th

‍ Sunday, February 17th, was a good day.  Not only was it the LORD"S DAY, but it was also Skipper's fourth week with us!  He was doing well, and Toby was doing great!  They both ate their morning meal.  After I got ready for church, I cleaned Petie's cage, and I ate a piece of raisin toast , then we left for church.  When we got to church, we ran through our song and practiced ‍If That Isn't Love, ‍for the pastor's wife and sang it a couple of times, then we sat down and worshiped with our fellow church family, until it was time to sing.  Everyone really liked it and enjoyed it.  I quietly thanked them, then I focused my attention on the sermon, that came from John 3, and the sermon was titled, "How Others See Us."  I heard about a man named Gaius and he was described to us as one that knew responsibility and leadership.  John him health and wealth, as he looked out for the people in his care and those who followed him , he also cared about the poor, he was involved with the people, and he was successful in serving GOD .  He was also very open and transparent , and I was reminded that Christianity is all about being real and letting our light shine.  Gaius also showed loved to the missionaries.  I also included some points, 1. We are all family members of GOD.  2. There are no other means of support.  GOD will provide.  3. We work with those who serve GOD.  Then, it closed with another character named Diotrephes , and he was the opposite of Gaius, he was in love with himself, he was a dictator in the church, and he acted in evil.  Another man was mentioned , Demetrius and like Gaius, he was good, he had it together, loved  and walked with GOD.  He also had the desire to be what GOD wanted him to be, and I wanted to do the same.  After church, we came home and I had lunch, before I checked some e-mails.  Later on, we had supper and I watched some TV, before I fed Toby and Skipper, and we had our special bed time routine, then I spent time in prayer, before I went to sleep.

Monday, February 18th, was pretty good too.  I woke up feeling well rested.  Petie was in a good mood too, along with Toby and Skipper.  So, I fed them and watched them eat.  Then, I made myself a waffle, and I enjoyed ‍Let's Make A Deal‍ and The Price Is Right‍.  After the shows, I got ready for the day, cleaned Petie's cage, and I spent time reviewing and writing down ideas for my Mandatory Graded Assignment.  I also enjoyed lunch, before I read John 8 to Petie, had prayer, and I did some work at the computer, before I helped my mom with supper, and I took out the trash. That night, I watched ‍CASTLE‍, mom and I hugged, then I had my special bed time routine with Petie, Toby, and Skipper, and I spent more time in prayer, before I went to sleep.

Tuesday, February 19th, started out in the normal way, I woke up, and I fed my finned friends, Toby and Skipper.  I ate a waffle for breakfast, I also watched ‍The Price Is Right‍, then I got ready for the day.  I cleaned Petie's cage and I studied until it was time for lunch.  After lunch, I tested the water in Toby and Skipper's five gallon world, I checked out the Ammonia, Nitrate 2 and PH. The Nitrate 2 was in the caution area, PH had gone up to 7.2, but the Ammonia was in the stress zone.  So, I did a 20% water change, and I changed the filter cartridge.  Once that was all done, I fed Toby and Skipper.  I also read John 8 to Petie, and I had prayer, and I rested , before it was time to have supper.  Later on, I blew kisses to Petie, and I blew kisses to Toby and Skipper, had more prayer time, and I went to sleep.

     ‍Part Forty-Seven February 24th -February 26th

‍Sunday, February 24th, was Skipper's fifth week with us!  I fed Toby and Skipper, before I talked soothingly to Petie.  Then, I got ready for church, and I cleaned Petie's cage, before I ate a piece of toast.  When it was time to go, we went to church.  Where we spent some time visiting, and we all worshiped the LORD together, praying together, praising HIM together, before we learned GOD's word.  The message was titled, "Every Spiritual Blessing Is,"  The message came from Ephesians 1:1-10.  Ephesians 1:3 said, "Blessed be the GOD and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.  Paul's letter to the Christians in Ephesus was about the trouble in Asia.  People saw Jesus through the life of Paul.  I was also asked a question, "How do we handle suffering?"  The answer was "Trust in the LORD."  I was reminded that I needed to be a blessing to others.  After church, we ran some errands, and we came home, had lunch, before I read more from John Chapter 9 . while Petie listened to me share about Jesus.  Then, my mom and I had to make a ‍PETCO‍ run, where a nice young man tried to help me solve the mystery behind the cloudy water in Toby and Skipper's home.  He also thought I should use Crystal Clear, so we bought Crystal Clear, and he was pretty sure that my aquarium's water should clear up. 

That evening, we relaxed, after I put a drop or two of Crystal Clear into the water, then we had some supper, watched TV, and later on that night, I got ready for the night.  I also hugged my mom, and I had my special night time routine with Petie, Toby, and Skipper, then I had prayer, and I went to sleep.

    ‍Part Fifty-Eight The Next Four Days That Followed

‍On Friday, April 5th, I woke up to see the pretty sunshine again.  I fed Toby and Skipper, watched the morning line up with Pete, and I had my own breakfast, before I got ready for the day.  It was a peaceful day for Toby and Skipper.  So, I cleaned Pete's cage, and I finished reading John: 16 to Pete, after I spent time studying, and I had lunch.  Then, that night, I had my special bed time routine with Petie, Toby , and Skipper, after I fed them, before I spent time in prayer, and I went to sleep.

Saturday, April 6th, started out like any normal day.  I woke up, had my morning routine, I also fed my fish friends, and they looked happy.  I helped my mom with our breakfast, and the dishes, before I got dressed, gave Pete his bath, while I cleaned his cage.  I also finished my chores, read John: 17 to Petie, had lunch, rested, and then I made myself some ramen noodle soup and a sandwich for supper.  J.C. also called me and told me some very shocking news , that concerned our American Bald Eagle friends, two of them were killed by a power line, during a rescue mission, I did cry that night, and I shared the news with my mom, and we hugged.  Later on, I picked out an outfit for church, then I watched some TV, and I fed Toby and Skipper their supper.  Then, we had our good night routine, and I had prayer , before I went to sleep.

Monday, April 8th, was another good day, I woke up, had my morning routine, I also fed Toby and Skipper, laughed at Petie's silly antics , before I had a waffle for breakfast, after breakfast, I got ready for the day.  I cleaned Petie's cage , and I spent some time before lunch, writing my assignment for school.  After lunch, I read John: 17 to Petie, and I had prayer.  Then, I rested , until it was time to help with supper.  I also took out the trash, watched TV, hugged my mom, got ready for the night, watched more TV, fed Toby and Skipper , before I said my special good nights to Petie, Skipper , and Toby.  Then, I had my prayer time , and I went to sleep.

I found and read some answers to a similar question from another person.  The answers were mixed responses, some of them said it was a normal thing for fish, while others thought it was not normal , and I really did not have a definite answer, so I did something to try to help, and I put in the measured amount of Melafix, while I also prayed and hoped they would get better.  I also cleaned out the aquarium, by getting the skin they lost out , and I had to change the air line tubes, and it was gross, and luckily I did it a few hours after lunch.  Then, I had a nap, and I got the recycling bins ready to go out.  I helped my mom with supper, and after supper, I replied to my sister's e-mail, and I asked her if she could read my paper.  I also relaxed, watched TV, before I read John 19 , and I had my prayers, after Petie, Skipper, and Toby had their good nights.
