Patience
Pretty stressful day today, but I had tacos for dinner, so now today was the best!
Tacos make everything better. Sorry such a stressful day Walker. Maybe you need desert too!
 
Everybody okay for a Thursday?

Had to head up to the hospital for a test that is needed so I can get prior authorization for my infusions. I don’t think I did well, getting home at 10:45pm last night I didn’t get a chance to study like I would have liked to. Stopped by my lfs for some LRS reef frenzy and a coral but it was gone :crying-face: , she is going to call me when she gets another.

Are u joking about not doing well on test - hard to tell with all the jokes.

What coral were you hoping to pick up?
 
Always so difficult to leave the “work” family. But I bet there are quite a few people at your new job that are waiting for “Amanda” love and energy to come their way. They just don’t know it yet.
Thank you that made me feel better.
 
I’m I the only one who takes pleasure in adding Reef Energy AB+ and watching my tank turn yellow?

Hehe, I love when I add the reef nutrition Phyto gets poured in every night and it’s dark green murky cloud floats thru the tank - muhahaha.

Guess we’re both weird like that!

I haven't done that yet but I am sure I will enjoy it because I love watching fog from my fogger fill up my Fairy Garden terrarium.

Generally if my lips are moving I am joking but I can see the difficulty with texts. It was a blood test. Last Thursday I waited one and a half hours to be told I could only have performed at the main hospital. You will have to wait and see when I post it on my build thread, it just past the two year mark on the 16th and I’m trying to get some traffic there, hoping to get to page four by the end of the year.

Oye. So you were joking about todays test then

And since you know notifications don’t work around here, can you post here when the first build thread update hits?
 
I made carnitas and ate them with tortillas, refried beans, guacamole, and little lime on top. It was so good I ate way too
That sounds much better then what i’m having:

Tomato soup and cheese quesadillas. Which is nice comfort food but yours….
