Fishtanks, Enki, Reiki, and far too much debit card drama
So my mother calls to tell me what's up with the debit card. Turns out to have been my dentist running the $860-something bill twice (Dentist, meet your right hand the secretary...) and this in turn caused all sorts of fun and drastic things like the cancellation of the checking account.
I wandered out from my room into the living room, and noticed that what I thought I'd been percieving all along had been correct: the shelf separating the kitchen and the living room was tilting dangerously, on the verge of breaking.
So there was formed an emergency bucket brigade to move the damn things FAST. Little Fayoumis mostly stayed out of the way when he was given instructions on how he could help. And he did them. His problem with getting in the way in emergencies is wanting to actively do something to help. And when he can, he does.
Enki got unplugged, as he was sitting under the counter, and was in immediate danger of having water fall upon him.
When picking up the turtle tank to move it off the counter, Marx strained his wrist, and had to be gently sat down upon the couch. I tested out my new reiki skills, and they were found to be good. Explained that I was likely not unusually good at it; it was just that it's like a DSL connection for healing energy...
Turning on Enki again proved to be a bitch. The monitor seems to be out; I cannot hear the tube turning on, though the status light says that it's getting signal from Enki. So main screen not turn on. So I waited until the DSL modem's status light had turned to solid green, and put in the password to log in to Windows. Thank gods I'm used to logging in without necessarily seeing things...
So.
Monitor.
Or, we could move the damn thing somewhere that he can plug into someone else's monitor in case of needing to see him...
