HOME!

Ugh what a week. On one hand, I wasn't really feverish so I could still go out on the beach. Cocoa isn't as crowded a beach as the touristy ones a little further down the coast are (Daytona, New Smyrna, etc) so we were able to stick to ourselves without close interaction with others. But on the other hand, I felt the worst in the mornings and evenings and as per usual hotel beds SUCK so I don't feel very recovered. We actually came home a day early. First thing I did was take a shower, it's nice to actually feel dry and not damp/salty still.

Boss texted me to warn me Regional VP will be coming to my store Thursday :loudly-crying-face: apologized for the intrusion because he knew I was on vacation but figured I'd rather have the heads up still. I told him it was okay, and jokingly said I was pretty sure his flying in and out every week passed me covid so vacation wasn't super great anyway and he immediately went in and rejected my vacation time and told me to resubmit it as sick time instead (our company keeps them separate, sick rolls over year to year and I have over 100 hrs of it still). That was pretty cool of him though.

New boss is officially incoming new boss. I got a few messages from contacts at home office throughout the week touching base since we'll be working closely together for the new store opening. That's exciting. Not 100% when I swap off this store's payroll yet. We have a call Tuesday to see if everything is still on track for the current grand open date and to figure out deliveries and timelines.

Important updates in a moment....

How long is 'Just a moment'?

Jul 18, 2015 — So, if someone asked me: How long is just a moment? I would reply resourcefully and realistically: 6 hours long. LOL.

Hah sorry, ran to pick Skeletor up, got home and unpacked and started laundry and doing all kinds of house stuff.

Important updates:

Tanks are both good. Everything appears to be alive and happy. There was a little extra algae to clean up off the glass but nothing critical. I plan to do water tests tomorrow. I also plan to place the order for pods/phyto to start all that back up again in the next few days.

Picked up some mangrove pods, doing that again.

I'll get some photos tomorrow after I clean up a bit.

Im So excited for you!

Saw some floating in the water while visiting the grandkids. Some still had the roots on them. Thought about bringing them back but not prepared for it so decided against it.

Isn’t there jail time if you get caught with the mangrove pods?

Yeah, another reason I thought against it.


Nope, not illegal to take washed up non rooted pods. Is illegal to tamper with or trim living established plants without a permit (all maintenance is restricted to certain times of year to protect them)

Edited to add: there *might* be a quantity restriction. But no one is going to bat an eye at minor amounts. I collected 3 washed up where they won't be able to root anyway.

Okay, couple photos from the cube because that's all I had the energy to clean the glass on... the pico acrylic is looking rough.

Time to look up phyto/pods to start up that culture again. Glad the tanks did okay while I was out. Glad the minimaxis are starting to color back up with the old RB light - not sure what I'm going to do with the new one I won....

Got my smart dosing containers in yesterday! Super fast shipping @Reef Outfit ! They look awesome and I can't wait to get them set up :) They're going to be perfect for the peninsula.

I think I'm going to start a very particular tank in my office at the new store... freshwater, planted, with leeches
Some leeches can express amazing colors!
My kids found one with red edges and green dots-ish when I was fishing with them.
We all thought it was a leaf till I told my kid to poke it. Then it attached to the stick they prodded it with and started moving along it.

Frappe spiked with Kahlua for a nice afternoon snack earlier.

This machine is pretty amazing.... I think frozen sangria is what I need to make next :thinking-face:

Yep! And with dinner we made frozen strawberry margaritas with it. Got it directly from Ninja, they keep selling out fast. But definitely worth it. Matt splurged when we both had a trash work day last week lol
