One day last week, I went on a book binge. I bought 3 books and checked one out at the library. I'm about a third way done with "Eat, Pray, Love" - I find myself happy when I'm reading that book.

I signed up on Facebook so I could see Krysta's pictures and videos while she's in Japan. I don't really get how the thing works, but it's nice to keep in touch with the kids. I think it's cute that Ryan and Travys even added me as their friend =). So with Colleen and a massage school classmate, I have a total of 5 friends! It's funny how it says "JoAnn and Colleen are now friends 7:35pm". Krysta has posted some cool videos - she's in Kyoto now. I'm so glad she's having this exprience. I know when we go and see her, she'll have mixed feelings of finishing school, and leaving Japan.

Last night I thought it was the end for Mark the fish. He was floating on his side again and his skin looked weird. So I decided to put the rest of the salt in the pond as a last resort to save him. As I thought about it before I went to bed, I thought that maybe the green medicine solution wasn't agreeing with him. So if he survived the night, I wouldn't use that stuff anymore. Just the salt. And I was relieved to see him still alive this morning. I checked on him every hour and he did look better to me. I still don't know if he'll recover, but I'm a little more hopeful right now. At least he doesn't look like he's getting worse.

I'm a little worried because he still isn't eating. But I guess when he feels better, he'll eat. He's much tougher than I thought. It seems that the salt is helping in the healing process. I read somewhere that it also calms fish down. Which makes sense to me because epson salt baths are good for humans. And God wrote that we are the salt of the earth, which has many redeeming qualities. Giving flavor, preserving, cleansing, healing, grounding.

I had a good restful 3 days off. I'm not working every weekend since I now know that I'll have a tax refund to help with my trip. But I'll still work some weekends.

I've been having some good luck at the casino lately. I think this week I've won almost $200 =). I think I may finally buy those new windows for my bedroom and Mom's bathroom. I've been saying that for a while, but this may be the week! Then after that, a security door for the front. I wish they didn't look so...security-like?

I got my renewed passport in the mail. I mailed off my massage license renewal. I need to call the gym to give them my new atm card exp. date. I need to pull weeds in the backyard.

I want to make an appt. with a Naturopathic Doctor so she can run some tests and get an idea about my health. A co-worker is going to her and is working at getting her body in balance. I also want to do a colon cleanse and get to the gym to tone up my body. I just want to feel strong and healthy. I don't feel weak and unhealthy, but I just think I could feel better.
