big fish little fish swimming in the water...

so i had this random dream last night that my dad, my sister, and i went to costa rica for a day. yes. a day. but the activities we did seemed like much more than a day. and the condo we were staying in had all these fish tanks (almost like a fish store) and everytime we came in, fish had jumped out...so i was always scooping them back up and putting them back in the tank....sometimes i didn't get them before they died...but it was this recurring thing i did in the dream. the guy who owned the condo game by once and i mentioned it to him but he was blase about it...the dream ends with us rushing to get to the airport so i can fly home and meet jessica and co. to drive to athens to see sugarland. ok, so i get up this morning. feed the cichlids, feed the hippie love commune, and then go to feed the baby guppies in the closed-off spare bedroom (which is always FREEZING when it gets cold b/c i have it shut off)...ok, so i notice the fish look baaaad....i put my hand in and the water is like ice...i don't know if it was too cold for the heater to keep up or if it's just broken....poor things are almost dead. i get the thermometer and the water is 55 degrees (after i've poured almost a gallon of HOT water in)...it's supposed to be 75-78 or so...so i put in another heater...get 2 heaters working and now i'm just hoping they recover ok. but how weird is it that i had this dream where fish (including guppies) kept dying b/c i couldn't take care of them quickly enough...

ok. next thing. i got my first gas bill. aside from including all start-up costs and such, it only has 4 days of usage on there. guess what the 4 days of usage totaled to...$26.....let's see, multiply 26 times 8 (to get a month)and you have a THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR GAS BILL for a month of time. now listen to this...i keep the house at 67 at the HIGHEST and 60 at all times i'm not here and when we go to bed (which is the majority of the day). what the fuck. i'm going to be POOR just from the fucking gas bill. so, today, i go buy space heaters. yup.

my first proposal for consulting was accepted. now, i just have a 12.5 hour project to complete before next wednesday, along with ANOTHER big project to complete, and all the other stuff for school. here comes my personal hell....

4 days until sugarland..
