he was good fish…

he committed suicide this week, in the form of jumping out of his tank to the place of his death, the floor…

He didn’t leave a note or anything…

but I thought he was feeling neglected after we got our puppy, Logan.

I just never thought it would drive him to this.

I flushed him, respectably, after a final goodbye. (At least that water was blue..)

I shall go mourn my fish now. The purple betta who wagged his fins everytime he saw me. Reed said he did that because he was hungry, but I think it was much, much deeper than that.

Originally, I was going to entitle this blog “Life Lessons”. The two problems with that is first, the title is way  too cliche’, and second, I’ve learned a lot in my life. I’m on the library computer with a one hour time limit, and I dont think thats enough time to tell what I’ve learned in my life. My fingers would get tired, and you would get tired of reading. So, since I’ve started school in gotten married in the last six months, I’ll just tell you what I’ve learned since then :)

1. Husbands steal blankets. Although the never want to admit that they’re about to freeze, their subconcious knows it, and it shows when they’re sleeping.

2. The smoke detector in our kitchen works very well.

3.Don’t ever, under any circumstances, believe anyone when they say ”Getting pepper sprayed now would probably be a good idea.” They’re a liar. It is NEVER, a good idea….

4. and if you do believe them, don’t wear the same shirt that you got sprayed in twice…

5. and if you do wear it twice, try to not pull it over your face.

6. Babies can make something come out of every orifice of their body. They’re just talented like that..

7. Dont try to make the POPAT easier by treating the 50 ft tunnel (that your supposed to craw through) like a slip and slide. You’ll  look stupid, and it’ll hurt.

8. When you’re husband starts a sentence with “Honey, dont get mad,” it probably means you’re about to get mad…

9. and if you want to have a whole lot of  fun playing with your husband’s mind, look at him and say “Do you notice anything different about me?” Even if you haven’t changed a thing, he’ll find something different.

10.When an instructor tells you to “Shut your mouth,” just go on ahead and shut it.

11. When instructors pick someone to show self defense moves on, don’t hide behind the tallest person in the class. They’ll still see your feet.

12. When people are in a “line formation,” in a position that looks like they’re ready to take the world on, dont yell “Spartans, attack!”

More to come soon….

I took my POPAT yesterday. In the mud. Pouring down rain. And I forgot my tennis shoes. I’m still a minute off. Looks like I am going to be doing more running (in tennis shoes this time). Hopefully I’ll be able to pass when I run it for the third time come May.  However, this weekend will consist of no running. Although we’ve gotten out of class earlier than usual every day this week, it still feels like the entire week has dragged. 10 weeks to go and if I can pass that dang POPAT, I’ll be graduating.

I start driver training next week. That is also something I will need some practice on. I learned today, I’m just straight up not the best parallel parker in the world. We’ll leave that issue at that.

Also, I took my two tests today. I missed 3 questions on both tests, which is worse than I normally do, but, it’ll do.

As dry as this post is, I really cant think of a single interesting thing to blog about. I really just needed to do something to kill some time, so here it is!

If my life gets more interesting, I’ll be sure to let you know :)

*~E~*

Most people don’t know that police officers only work 14 days a month, 12 hours per shift. However when it comes to being married to a cop, I think I’d rather it be 25 days a month, working 9-5. We’d see each other much more that way. Due to our schedule conflicts, Reed and I have barely seen each other for the past three days. When I come home from school, he’s off to work, and when he comes home from work, I’m off to school. I sleep on his side of the bed when he’s working. He says it’s a security thing. I believe I agree with him.

However, we do have a much needed date planned Friday night! We’ll finally get to spend a copious amount of time together. I believe we’ll try renting “Changeling” for the second time since the first time the DVD didnt work, and forget about nutrition for one night and have pizza and milkshakes. Being away from each other so much really helps me cherish the time we have to spend together.

On another note, I should be spending my time tonight studying. I have two tests this week on Motor Vehicle Law and Domestic Violence. I should also be getting to bed earlier than usual. I have my second POPAT tomorrow. For those that don’t know, that is the Police Officer Physical Abilities Test. It consists of running, pushups, sit-ups, crawling through a tunnel, pushing through a door, going up steps, dragging someone… however, my focus is on starting a blog. I”ve been meaning to do it since I saw the neat wordpress site when I read Olivia’s blog. So now dear readers, I can let you spend a day in the life (actually, quit a few days in the life) of me. I have a feeling I will be on here no less than 14 days a month.
