On the way to my regular church, I pass the mall, and every Sunday there are signs out that say a church meets in the theater at the mall. In the theater! I’ve wanted to go there for a long time. Yesterday, I finally went.

This is the mall entrance. I couldnt get a picture during the service. It was packed.

The service and theology were similar to the last church I visited. The feel was different though. The preacher seemed like a lay person. He talked about Father’s Day. His message wasn’t polished, but it was earnest. I liked it.

The crowd was different, too. They were very vocal, and interacted with one another as if they all knew each other. There was a strong family feeling there.

The service was an hour and fifteen minutes long. Afterward, I stopped at Starbucks.
It was literally on the way out! I got a chai latte. I hadn’t had one of those in ages.

Yesterday I left my apartment early so I could take my truck to the mechanic. My compressor has been working, but the fan hasn’t been blowing. It was okay during the winter, but the temperatures are getting hotter, and I really need my air conditioner.

Anyway, as I was heading out the door, I couldn’t find my keys. I looked in all the usual places, and even some unusual ones. Then I looked here:

They were in the door. I don’t even remember why I put them there. Maybe when I unlocked the door I got distracted and left them? Sheesh!

But I am very happy to report that my truck air conditioner works again. Yay! The cool air feels so good!

While I’m gone to Nebraska, my classroom aquarium will be unattended. I got an automatic fish feeder. It can be programmed to feed the fish up to four times a day. I’ve programmed it for two.

The container of the feeder is too big for how much food I had. I decided to pick some up from the aquarium store. While I was there, I looked at the fish. I wasn’t going to buy any, but they had albino corydoras catfish. Dang. I had to buy them. I’ve been looking for them.

Now I have bottom dwellers. My aquarium is complete.

The top swimmers are guppies. They are a beautiful gold color. They were swimming too fast for me to get a non-blurry picture.

The reflection in the glass sort of looks like a bare bottom, but it’s just my knuckles.

The middle swimmers are neon tetras. I love them. They’re so blue and red and shiny.

They look so cheery to me.

And the bottom swimmers are the corys. I got albinos so they would be highly visible. They also have a nice shimmery sheen, so that’s nice.

The clearest picture, because it was just holding still.
