lemon juice on paper cuts

I've had a pretty busy week... Sarah the little girl I watch after she gets out of school was home Mon and Wed from a cough. So I had to entertain her while getting my work done around the house too. Thursday we went to the fish store to get some new live rock and a test kit for our tank water. And we were going to take back USA, but we forgot him at home in the tank. I rearranged the rock in the tank and I think that Bernie likes it the way it is right now more than before because he swims all around the whole tank, where as before he would just hover in mostly one spot. Plus it looks way cooler the way it is set up right now :) And we went out for some Sushi at a place that Jack (the guy I work for / keep an eye on) suggested that I take Jake to. It was a really good meal. And I put together a cool art project while watching t.v. Then yesterday when I got to work Jack was not feeling well. So he didn't want to go out for coffee like we do every morning. But he asked if I could run to the store to get some cough drops and then get him a cup of coffee. When I got back to the house he was in bed trying to take a nap. So I left him to be and did my work around the house. After I got Sarah from school at 1pm we came home and decided we were going to tackle her room. It was a huge pig sty!!! It took us over three hours to get to a stopping point. Notice that I didn't say to "finish" because its still not quite done. But we made it look a TON better. Then as we were cleaning Steven and John (two of the sons of Jack) came home on breaks and decided to take Jack to the hospital. He was getting worse I guess and couldn't walk. Turns out they had not given him his medication for several days and he had a water build up in his chest which caused his cough and eventually his small heart attack that the doctor discovered he had. Thankfully they said it caused no damage. Jake and I went to go visit him this morning. He said he felt a lot better. He looked better than he did yesterday. But he still looked weak. We brought him some coffee too, because he loves his coffee in the morning. Then we went out for breakfast, and then Jake took me to Michaels the craft store and I got a new cross stitching project. After that we came home and then after an hour took a walk down to the back to deposit my check and get some quarters for laundry. And I got to make a stop at McDonalds for an iced coffee. I always get vanilla, but today after I ordered I tried a sample of the hazelnut, and I think I like it better! I was so surprised because I hate Starbucks hazelnut iced coffee. Then when we got home we decided to do a test on our water. The levels were not good, so we went back to the fish store to get some more live rock, and I wanted to get some new little hermits to replace the ones that USA killed. ALSO, my diamond goby died... I forgot to tell you about it. Well when we were there on Thurs I asked a guy there if I should be worried because he wasn't coming out from under the rock. He said as long as I could see him, to give him a couple of days to warm up to the tank. But that if I wanted to I could lift up the rock and make sure he was still alive. I saw him on Tuesday for sure, but I had not seen him on Wed. So I figured I would lift up the rock to check on him, plus I had to rearrange the live rock in order to fit in the new one. Well when I lifted it and there was about 1/3 of the goby left under there. So that was sad. I JUST bought him! And he was about $25 with tax. Anyways, so at the fish store today I talked to one of the guys about it and he said he will replace it for me. But he said that he doesn't think that the goby will be happy in such a small tank. So decided not to get it. But he said he will still owe us a new fish. But then I was still wanting something to clean our sand and he suggested a Nassarius Sand Snail. They bury themselves completely under the sand and clean it, and sift it so that the sand gets moved around and the debris can get sucked into the filter system. So we got two of those, the four or five hermits (he gave me extras!) and the thing for the water levels to get better all for free since my goby died!! That was pretty sweet. And now we are watching the UCLA game :) I really hope they win, but right now we are down three points. Jake just called me into the room to look at something in the aquarium, and guess what I caught USA doing?!?! He was trying to pull one of the new little hermits our of his shell! He's just a little guy, so USA can't need his shell! USA is just being hostile. I think he wants to be the only crab around. We are going to have to take him back to the store after the game tonight. It makes me sad, but I don't want to keep him around just to kill all the other new ones! Well thats not really all that has happened these past few days, but I am going to watch the game with Jake now!
