Brooding
Note: brooding not broody.
Been thinking a lot about yesterday and why what happened to Kai happened. At the moment I can't stop watching Pips because I'm terrified that something unexpected is going to happen to him as well. I think the worst thing was that the woman I spoke to at Pets at Home said he was going to be ok, which reassured me that as long as I saw the treatment through, he was going to recover. So, ok, it's her fault that I got my hopes up, but ultimately (and what's the worst thing), it's my fault that he became ill in the first place. Pips is clearly a stronger fish, so I'm sure he'll pull through, but I'm still incredibly nervy where he's concerned. At the moment, he isn't noticing when I feed him because he's used to much more, but I guess that's something he'll adjust to. He definitely hasn't lost his appetite since he's constantly foraging for food (he looks so cute when he picks up the gravel and spits it out :D), but, nevertheless, I'm still worried for him, and can't wait until the treatment is over when I can switch the light on and have a proper look at him again. I am thinking about getting another fish to keep Pips company once the tank is sorted and I'm sure Pips is healthy - if it was up to me, I probably wouldn't get another so soon, but goldfish are very sociable, and I can tell that Pips is lonely, especially since he doesn't have much to play round any more either.
Still feeling very low after having to deal with what I found when I came back in the afternoon, so I haven't really got very much done today. Done lots of research and printed several things for further reading, but I'm not sure anything's gone in much. Still feeling kind of numb. I guess it sounds really stupid to anyone who hasn't had a pet, or even anyone who hasn't had fish, but I really got attached to Kai, and losing him felt horrid.
I've got the joy of Staging Histories tomorrow morning, this time with Tony Gardner, who, if this is humanly possible, is worse than Fiona. I had him for my interview for the uni, and he had us in an audition for MUCH longer than all the other groups.. and plus, he kind of creeps me out. Not really sure why, but I'm not particularly hopeful about this 3 hour lesson.
I've also got my interview with La Senza tomorrow afternoon - still not sure whether I should tell them I'm going home at Christmas since it's a Christmas temping job, but I'll play it by ear and see how it goes. Wish me luck for both...
