New Pets & New Jobs

My new Betta died today. He hadn't been well since I brought him home, and I tried everything experienced betta/fish keepers suggested. My other two are doing fine. I am very careful to not cross contaminate. I rarely work w/ both tanks on the same day.

Today my daughter had one of her dreams fulfilled. She has longed to own a hairless cat, and recently one was dumped at the shelter. So it went home with her today, for free. When I told her there was one at the shelter, she almost had a panic attack over it. Apparently she struggled all day today with anxiety over getting to see it.
When she got there and saw him, she cried. So she went and purchased cat supplies then picked him up and took him home.
He is named Sav, after Salvador Dali.

I'm not entirely quit of the shelter. I fill in where needed, but I took a giant step back and away. I only worked 5 hours in Sept. vs the usual 30.
Today was my last day at my 'real' job. It's sad, but I just could not work there any longer. I'm only taking a 30$ a week pay cut, but it's worth it.
I'm looking forward to feeling peaceful and positive again!

Sorry about the fish. I had Beta fish in my 20's but they did not last that long.

Very happy for your daughter. Please post pics of the cat I am dying to see Sav in all his cuteness!

I think you have the right idea with regards to the shelter of filling in where needed. You need to feel peaceful and positive again and get some breathing room.
