Sad day.

This is a photo of how I felt today. I woke up pretty late and was unhappy right away for no apparent reason. Then I wrote my paper that's due tomorrow, and when I finished I went into the front room to find Mr. Speckles in really bad shape. He had coughed up a lot of no good looking stuff and there was some blood in his tank. My mom said he had been convulsing a bit too. I held him a bit and we tried to coax him through it but it was not great. He has now passed on and is awaiting my return home to take a place in the backyard.

RIP Mr. Speckles, it's been a great 12 years.
