Oh where has my sweet Phryne gone? Trying to do laundry and received 4 bloody bites on my hands while trying to wrangle her back to her cage. My right pinky has kinda seized up from one of the bites and doesn't really move correctly now. Ugh. And I was trying to give her a treat in the cage too. 
Ugh, Karen's gone on a trip and not returning until Sunday. That leaves me with Phryne, who has become the bitey-bird to me. My hands have lots of healing beak marks where she has been drawing blood on me lately. Have to admit, it's getting me a bit down. I'm just hoping she will outgrow this. I'm also making sure to be verrrry respectful of...

Every year we rent a large house at the beach for Karen and I, her parents, her sister, a friend Beth and 3 dogs. It's always expensive because it has to have a pool (so the dogs can swim in it) and an elevator for her parents. I'm allergic to dogs, so during the week I claim one chair and the dogs aren't allowed on...

Wow, okay, I've been absent for 2 months. Didn't think it was that long. Well, had some struggles, was down a bit, started new meds and am doing great. Just got back from a week at the beach and am trying to catch up. I hope you all are doing fabulous. Love and hugs to all.
Happy 24th Anniversary to Karen, my love, my life, truly my everything.
31 years ago I met her for the first time and was smitten, even though, then, I was engaged to someone else. Fortunately she broke it off.
29 years ago we went on our first date! Although she did not want to admit we were dating, I hung in there.

Ever wondered if you are doing something wrong? Here's a basic litmus test: Is Trump or his administration doing, supporting, tweeting this? Then it's wrong. Stop, go back, start again with a path that does not alienate, harm, and denigrate another person or group. O_o
AHH! OUCH!!
Today was exhausting. Took Phryne to the vet for another round of tests and antibiotics.
Got home and felt something hit the back of my shirt, thought it was a fly or something. When I came in and sat down it felt like a needle was stuck into my back. Pawed at the sofa cushion and my back, found nothing, leaned back...AHH! Pawed...

Phryne's new trick...
I'm feeling rather ... out of it? Dizzy, hard to think, difficult to walk. Driving will be a challenge. :-0
Phew, it's hot today. A nice glass of cold water sounds gre...orrrr Phryne can take a bath. That's fine too. O_o
Ugh, bad night's sleep. First I couldn't sleep until 2:00 am. Took over an hour then to fall asleep. Bad dreams, woke up crying, apparently enough to wake Karen up. Blargh.
Phryne is certainly perky this morning, though. Hopping everywhere.
