What, dreaming of waterchanges isn't normal? Oh boy, do I feel awkward... :P

Thank you everyone for the advice. I will likely set aside a premeasured baggie for my friend to come in halfway through my trip. I know I can trust her to not go about trying to "fix" anything.

I've left my platies alone for a week or two at a time before with no damage done, but I'm worried I guess because of puffers' hypersensitivity to ammonia.

No, it is like playing hookey - the illicit is often a private pleasure. 8)
