Random stuff to recap

I'm not really in the mood for writing, but I figure I should. After this Sunday, my updates will be very scarce because of Matt being here, even though I'm going to attempt to write more. So... yeah. Doing this simply because I don't want the month of May to be bare of entries... compared to the other months, that is.

The past three days have been spent cleaning. Saturday I went over my room again with the shampooer (and the water didn't change color at all) though it does look a little bit better... it's more like there's dark "areas" on it rather than dark spots. Yesterday, I spent most of the evening mopping the kitchen... My mother helped a great deal (though she complained the whole time in a playful way), since we didn't even know where an actual mop was. We've used the Swiffer Jet thing (don't know if that's the right name) for ages, but it's nothing like scrubbing the hell out of a floor with a mop covered in badass cleaning chemicals :P Then, today, I had the lovely job of having axolotl shit up to my elbows today... erm, I mean, cleaning Herbetta's tank. That alone took roughly 4 or 5 hours, but that's mainly because I haven't cleaned it since January... ugh, I'm such a bad pet owner :(

Speaking of Herbie... she's been freaking out all evening since I put her in the tank. I gave her food before putting her in there, but she ended up throwing it all back up in a corner of her tank. I think she's finally settled down (I haven't heard the rocks moving in a while) but ehh :ehh: I guess the complete water change stressed her some... I've read that's bad to do, but she never had a problem with it before. Maybe it's because it's been months since I've done it... but who knows. Why can't my axies be healthy and happy all the time, and not get sick so much.

Most of the days that I was cleaning it was pouring outside, so I couldn't even walk if I had wanted to. It finally cleared up yesterday, though, so around 7:30ish I went on my usual route. The smell outside was so amazing... the smell of the lake, the evening air; it make me think of cucumbers and flowers. It brought up alot of memories of riding bikes and hanging at sweetbrior park, or the pools here in the Lake... they're not all good memories, but they're the only ones I have of being younge it careless. I had hoped the same smell would be in the air when I went walking tonight, but it wasn't... I guess it's too early yet for it to always smell like that. Makes me look forward to the next time it rains.

I've also been working out more. When I go for a walk, I go into the garage and do 60 push things... not sure what they're called, but they work the arms and the top part of your back. Then, after the walk, I finish up with 60 situps. It's not really that much, but I feel great to be doing it with such stamina. Cleaning is probably also helping that along. But ehh :P

Ugh... tired of writing now :P Wasn't really writing about much, anyway.
