Projects update: I took an assessment over the weekend and realized, as I was bemoaning my inability to get things done, that I did get things done. I got this #FishTank up and running! And although it’s a bit more labor intensive than I want it to be at the moment, it brings me joy, several times a day.

The #Otocinculus (not pictured) are fat and happy, and the #kuhli #loaches feel safe enough to come out of hiding all of the time.
