several things - greetings, a request, and a new pet-

[mary_j_59]

I just saw on Pythia Delphi's livejournal that it is Bohemianspirit's birthday! I am terrible at keeping up with my livejournal friends' birthdays, so please, everyone, consider yourself wished a Happy Birthday!

And - I just found out Dad is in hospital again, so could all my friends who believe in prayer say a prayer for him and my Mom? Thank heavens for my younger sister, who brought him to the hospital; they suspect a mini-stroke, and it's always much better if they get to that fast. He sounds as though he's doing well. Still, it's a worry.

Final thing - I got another betta today. At first, I thought his name might be Aquila, but, once I got him into his bowl at home, I decided he was Severus Secundus, after all. He's very pretty, and seems to be settling in well; unlike Severus primus, he ate right away. But I only gave him one pellet, as an experiment, because the young man at the store told me I have overfed my bettas. Deirdre hasn't, and hers have lived longer than mine. Point taken!

Anyway, here's the pic:

Thanks very much! They released him today, and I think that's a good sign.

Oh I hope your father feels better!

And what a gorgeous fish.

Thanks - I heard from Mom that the doctors are releasing him today. He's doing better.

And yes, Sev secundus is beautiful, isn't he?

Thank you. He is doing better, and is coming home today. :)

Thank you for the birthday wishes; I had a very good day, relaxing at home with the computer off, and having a long conversation with my son on the phone. I'm glad to see your father is home and out of the hospital!

Thanks! I'm glad you're feeling better, too.

Sorry to hear about your father - but glad to see from the comments above that he is improving. I'll keep praying anyway. And what a lovely fish - hope he has a long and happy life with you!

Thanks, Anne - I just saw Dad and Mom this weekend, and he seems pretty much back to normal. And I hope Sevvie the second has a long and happy life, too! He's amazingly pretty, but very averse to having his water changed - just tried that now, and couldn't catch him at all. )

Oh, and I hope you're feeling better, as well.
