A story for Derick. I didn't bother telling it this morning because he was halfway sleeping.
So I got up at 2:45 to pee, went in the bathroom, and noticed something large and black at the bottom of Blueberry's tank! I thought maybe it was a discolored piece of gravel that I hadn't noticed before, or a bug, or...something. It was about the size of an average piece of gravel.
Anyway, I decided to go get the fish net and scoop it out, and as soon as I came out of the bathroom to head into the kitchen, Patrick got up from his movie chair and scurried into the kitchen. And just as I was about to go to the cabinet to get the fish net, he went to the cabinet and started doing his thing where he just rustles around in the cabinet to make it look like he's doing something. UGH.
So I stood there with my hands on my hips, and finally he moved out of the way. So I got the fish net, started going back to the bathroom, and he scurried into the laundry room to hide. I know he wasn't doing laundry because his towels were already back in the bathroom, clean and dry.
UGGGGGHHHHH so all that trouble is pretty much why I couldn't fall back to sleep!
But anyway! Back to the fish tank. When I scooped out the object and inspected it, I realized it was a HUGE FISH TURD. Then I looked at Blueberry, and his swollen belly was back to it's normal size! Wtf, I don't know how he was able to pass something that large!! But he's definitely feeling better now
