Well, today is my 33rd birthday. The past year has been challenging with all of my health issues, so I definitely feel older. I think I’ve aged physically and mentally. Much of my last year has been spent in doctor’s offices and taking different prescriptions to try to solve my issues. It hasn’t been fun, I’ve been stuck working from home and I definitely miss the outside world. The more I think about it, I feel much like a prisoner the past year and can only hope things get better so I’m not saying any of these same things next year.
Sadly, our favorite fish, Token, didn’t survive the tank change. She was the only one of the originals we had remaining from my last birthday and it was definitely a bummer to see her go. I know, I know, just a fish, c’mon now. Well, yes, she was just a fish, but what a personality and gave me something to laugh about almost everyday with some stupid antic or what not.
She was a black moor and over the course of the year, she changed her color from black to orange. I read that they do that to make themselves more attractive when they want to mate. She laid eggs and everything, but unfortunately for her, she was the only black moor in the tank, so they went to waste. A definite character, she’ll be missed in the tank.
Here’s a picture from a few weeks ago, fully orange (and with Gary the snail hot on her heels!)
