My daughter's Betta fish died today. I'm really sorry to see that happen. Not sure what caused it. I've been changing the water frequently and cleaning the bowl thoroughly.
My daughter cried about the fish. I'm torn up to see her cry. However, there is an up side to that. With other animals, she has shown signs of stress and sadness but has not cried. That was something which worried me. She thinks very rationally, trying to make sense and accept things as they are. However, I have worried about her keeping her emotions inside too much. While I don't want her to cry, I was happy to see her doing so just for what it signifies. That she is becoming more in touch with her emotions. That she is able to let emotions out and not hold them in until they cause damage.
I know what damage that can do.
Yesterday the weather was decent and we went to a nearby open space for a while. Today we made some ornaments from clay. Let them dry this week and paint them next weekend.
She is getting better at artwork all the time. Now she's drawing dragons and doing an awesome job with them. She picked up an interest mainly from some books she's been reading. It's amazing watching her skills develop over time.
Still not able to wear my lower dentures. Too sensitive. But the tissue is filling in and healing, so hoping I'll be able to wear them by next weekend, when daughter and I will have our Thanksgiving. My lips are still dry and cracked, adjusting to my face being more filled out than the last few years. Obviously, not done yet because the process will continue after I can wear the lowers. Oh, well. Few more weeks and my body should adjust. I may be also fighting off minor infection from food particles getting into the gum tissue. That's getting better, too.
Weather supposed to turn colder again tonight, stay that way for a few days, warm up again and then drop even more next week.
Still having to go with temporary actions to keep different parts of the house warm because of heat migration. If I can isolate various rooms, I can focus on keeping the rooms in use warmer and not have to keep the rest of the house as warm at the same time. With the house being so open, I have to heat much larger spaces. So, using tarps and mover's blankets for now. I can get something more esthetic later. I also taped a tarp over the air conditioner in the big living room. Stopped the cold air leaking in there. Definitely feeling a difference, even with today being as windy as it was. Good thing about the tarps is that they can be reused elsewhere when I replace them with something more attractive.
