I bear glad tidings of great joy!  Okay, so she decided to emerge sometime early this morning and not Tuesday like I thought.  Before I went to bed last night, she was still on the stick with only her head sticking out.  I did not notice any color changes in her except maybe some color where the lateral thoracic stripes would be.  When I checked the aquarium this morning, she was fully emerged and floating in the water!  I'm thinking,  "arrrrgh, after all this she has to go and drown."  When I plucked her out, however, she latched on to my finger.  She was wet, but unharmed.  I must have gotten to her in the nick of time.  After all the shock, I then see a note from my brother that said simply, "dragonfly"  with an arrow pointing to the aquarium.  He noticed that she was hanging from the top of the aquarium at 6:50 am when he left for work.  When I checked at 7:25 am, she was in the water.  Her wings were fairly stiff, though, which was a good thing since I had to handle her.  She wanted to fly almost right away, so I emptied the aquarium and put her back in it on the stick and drove to work.  After many pictures and much celebration, I let her go.
