Not feeling so well today. Sure, I haven't slept well for a few weeks, so this could be the issue. I'm trying to keep my mouth shut, and be really careful what I say, as I seem to have lost my rude filter. Poor Karen has been very understanding so far, but I don't want to push her benevolence. So keeping my mouth shut seems...

Pretty tired this morning, but pushing myself forward. Know who else is tired? Phryne. It appears she is grumpy tired. She came up to kiss my lip, grabbed it and twisted, trying to do harm. She is not in a good mood today! I think someone needs some alone time. And a nap. Phryne does too.

I hope you are all having a great day....

Still not sleeping well. I sleep for about 4 hours, then wake up for a few hours, then am ready for sleep again. This disrupted sleep is a killer. On the other hand, if anyone needs someone for mid-watch, I seem to be their person.

10 more days until we head off for a 10 day vacation, cruise through the south Caribbean. 4 stops and...

Today Phryne crawled into my sweater sleeve, hunkered down, then began to nibble on my arm. This wouldn't be so bad but that beak is sharp. I need a birdy pacifier for her to chew when she is content where she is and just wants to nibble. Maybe pecan flavored.

I have not been sleeping well at all. I don't know if it's allergies, the...

This stupid US time change with Daylights Savings Time has me really messed up. I really wish we would repeal this thing, as it never helped in the first place. It was originally supposed to help farmers have more daylight, but the thing is, farmers don't watch a clock to see when it is good to go outside and work. They watch the light. So...

I need to stop complaining about having chunks taken out of me by Phryne. So, I'll just have to instead talk about cute things she does. Every time I give her a pecan piece she says sweetheart and wolf-whistles. She's training us to give her treats.

Just lost yet another big chunk out of a finger. Phryne was getting her head scratched and very happy then suddenly turned around and bit, released slightly, then dug in deeper into the bite. No warning, nothing. Maybe we were wrong. Maybe we should not have another bird.

Hello. Been a little while since I've posted. Here's some of the things that have been going on. I've been missing you all. Hope I get myself together and can get up here more often.

1. When ordering a bag of bird pellets, 10 pounds doesn't sound like a lot until it arrives and you realize you've only over bought the 2 pound bag before....

Ugh, well, posted my last update to FB. Maybe for a while, maybe forever....

Hello loves. I have been battling an ever increasingly deeper despair from which I cannot seem to dig my way out. Lately I've begun to wonder why I even try. So, I've decided to check out. Of FB, that is/ Not sure how long, or even if it will be permanent....
