Mmm, Sushi

For Valentine's Day, Marc took me out to my favorite sushi restaurant. I ordered a big bowl of vegetable udon, and I think I ate like 5 rolls. I'd hoped to be able to eat more, but I was totally stuffed. I should've gotten some sashimi too, but I forgot. Man, I could eat sushi every day.

He also sent roses to my work, which was really sweet. They're still alive, too. Although the instructions said to remove the outer rugged petals. Which turned out to be the small green ones, but which I mistook to mean the outer rose petals. So my rose bulbs are a little skinnier than normal.

I finally caught the blue tang. I waited until the lights went out, and she went into her usual sleeping space, which is wedged between two rocks, where she lays on her side. I quietly stuck my hands in the tank, and gently pinned her tail against one rock, which I used my other hand to grab her body. Once I got a finger on each side of her body, she calmed down a lot, and I was able to pull her from the rocks and out of the water.

I gave her a freshwater dip, and a bunch of the ich spots fell off. Not all of them though, unfortunately. I didn't want to dip her too long and stress her out too much though. She seemed to recover just fine once I got her back in the tank.

Who would've thought I'd have better luck catching a fish with my hands than with a net?

Okay, time for lunch.
