Settling in
Thursday, May 10, 2007
Our new place is slowly getting more tolerable and normal. Until yesterday, which was my day off so we made good progress with unpacking, it was simply unpleasant to be inside surrounded by all the boxes and paper (oh, endless paper). Since this is an older building, there are things we didn’t have to deal with in Irvine (sigh), such as getting drawer and cabinet liners for the old and crusty surfaces.
The most unexpected thing is that our three remaining betta fish seem to be enjoying their new spot on top of the fireplace. I even did the most life threatening thing yesterday that I can relate to the other fish’s mysterious deaths, i.e. a water change, and all of them were just fine afterward, even the one that flipped himself into the sink.
When we find our camera cable, I’ll upload some pictures of our new place. We’ll be having a housewarming soon too, hopefully before the end of the month. (Batman – when are you moving?)
Hmm… is the plural of fish “fish,” or “fishes”?
i will probably leave on May 31, give or take a day.
I think either fish or fishes is correct. I think in common usage, multiple fish of the same species is “fish” whereas when referring to multiple species of fish you can say “fishes”.
E.G. I caught lots of fish. The ocean has many different fishes.
But I could be totally wrong about that.
