Doctor, I think I have MTS. *gasp*

Dear reader,

If you have been following this blog for the last few months, you know I am on a mission to change my life for the better. This means getting organized, getting a "real" job, and pretty much just growing up and being a big girl. For the most part, I would say I've done OK. If you have been reading my blog and watching my videos, then you probably also know that I am sick pretty much all the time.

I feel you and I have been through so much together. We've had our ups and downs, and I am still your writer, and you are still my reader. It is a close bond. It is because of this tie that I feel I must share something with you. I have MTS, and I am afraid there is no cure.

Yes folks, I have Multiple Tank Syndrome. I have my 77-gallon hex tank, my 55-gallon long, another 55 in the barn, a 20 in the barn, and I just set up my new 5-gallon planted tank. I can't help myself! I would say that aquariums are my anti-drug, but I think I probably spend more on my tanks than I ever would on actual drugs, so I'm not quite so sure that is a good thing.

I should also warn you that MTS is highly contagious. Watch enough of my videos, talk with me about all my aquatic buddies, and soon you will have your own tank at home. Give it a year, maybe two, and you will have at least one more. Just wait, my friends. One day, you will all be infected with MTS and there is nothing you can do about it! *cue maniacal laugh*

Love,

Miss Oddi

p.s. Check out my latest video! In it, I show you my 5-gallon tank build from start to finish.


p.p.s. Please subscribe to this blog and my channel. I would love to know who is watching/reading. Oh yeah, please leave some comments, too. I heart dialogue.

Good morning, everyone! I just wanted to pop in here and share my newest video with you all!
So yeah, I know that was super random. However, it does nicely summarize what I've been up to of late.

Today, I start my bathroom makeover project! I'm really excited, but also lacking some motivation to go ahead and get on with it. I have a nasty cold (again) that is doing its very best to keep me in bed/on the couch. Luckily, I'm all caught up on my DVR, so at least I have that going for me. I've even run out of things to do with my fish tanks! In essence, I really don't have anything better to do at this point, which is probably the best motivator for me to get going on this project.

As usual, I will be working my way down a checklist today. I love lists because they make giant tasks seem fairly simple. They also help me maintain focus on what I want to accomplish. Without a list, I'll work for an hour, maybe two, and then head off into lala land.

Anyways, stay tuned for my bathroom project update in the next few days. I can't wait to share it with you!
