someone is making noise outside and it's causing the neighborhood dogs to bark

I burnt my mouth on a pizza roll

  I didn't see the northern lights tonight, even though they were supposed to be visible as far as southern Finland. The sky is completely overcast.

I hope we get some water rains soon, I hate street dust!

Ugh. I slept for a loooong time! I woke up it was almost noon. I'm still groggy. And now my medicine schedule is off. I debated taking my Vyvanse or not, because it's going to keep me awake for longer today. I ended up taking it. Maybe I can force myself to sleep tonight.

Two of our dogs just started fighting over a bird nest 
Both are fine, but I hurt my hand trying to separate them.

Little background info: 2 years ago I broke my hand. Turned out I had a tumor in the broken bone, which the doctors first thought was cancer. In the end we were told it was benign.
Fast forward to february this year, I broke it again. This time they finally explained to us that the tumor is in fact cartilage and without removing it, it would continue to grow and weaken my already egg shell thin bone.
I am currently waiting for the operation to take place some time in may/june.

..Unless something were to happen with the hand again, which would postpone the operation.

Just.. uuuuurgh

I'm so sorry, Destiny That's a lot to deal with.


My new glasses are a tad crooked. I didn't notice it when I tried them on yesterday. I can get them fixed for free but that means going all the way back to the eye center. I wonder if an eye place closer would fix them. Or if there even is an eye place that's closer

I felt like I was babysitting baby birds this week.

Earlier today I noticed there was a scruffy little black bird on my patio that was just kind of chilling. It disint fly away when I went out, so I was worried it was sick. I brought it out some winter and seeds, but then what Im assuming was Mama bird flew down and fed it. At that point they scurried off somewhere. I have no idea how they got out since it seemed like the scruffy one could fly, I was just relieved it wasn’t hurt or sick.

Then, about an hour later, Amazon delivered some packages to my door. I heard the door on their van slam and that they drove away, but it REALLY sounded like someone was still at my door playing with it. I decided to peek out the window, but I didn’t see anyone, so I just opened the front door to grab my stuff. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN THERES A SCEUFFY LITTLE BIRD THATS FLAILING RIGHT BETWWEN MY DOOR AND THE SCREEN. I freaked out and closed the door back up and went around to release it from the front. I have zero idea if that was the same baby bird as before or how on earth Amazon managed to trap it, but I’m glad I didn’t just ignore the noise!

Then this past week there has been a dove that keeps suicide bombing my glass doors on the patio. Like multiple times a day, multiple times this week. I finally looked it up online and I think it might be trying to fight its reflection since it doesn’t seem to be getting hurt, but omg it’s concerning every time it slams the glass!

I have to go into the office next week. I hope the birds can behave when I’m not there to monitor them!

Having a cold.
That is all

[BlackCurtains]

Minty, draw an owl face and stick it on the window. That should stop the dove. And yeah, it's fledgling season, so babies who have left the nest but don't have the hang of flying yet are out and about. The parents are always watching them though. Last year I had a fledgling starling who liked to hang out on my balcony


My complaint, a major cold front has moved in but it's brought on thunderstorms. I like thunderstorms but Aster doesn't. She's afraid and hides under the bed. I keep telling her she's safe in the house, but she doesn't believe me.

edit, later: Ugh, as the day goes on I'm not feeling well. My stomach is bothering me and I'm so hot!

[Taffeta]

Baby birds are so cute though. They do do silly things. I had one get into my room a few years ago. It wanted to nest in my wardrobe, but I coaxed it out.

I'm glad you were able to rescue baby bird from the screen/door though.

Pigeons and doves seem quite tough but they do like flying into windows...

My trivial complaint. Getting stuff out of the garage, plants and the like...and some of the bulbs seem to have been eaten by the mice that ate my geraniums' roots. The most of them are okay but in the sorting out and planting of those that were sprouting, I managed to mix the crocus dahlia and the begonia tubers together. Whoops...

[BlackCurtains]

I was feeling okay until I ate. Now I'm back to feeling like crud. I must have a gastritis flare. Great.

I slipped with my bike today on the gravel they put on the ground to prevent slipping on the ice. Well, the snow and ice on the roads are gone, but they have not removed the gravel and it's as slippery as the ice was. I did not even bike that fast as I was coming up to a sharp curve on the road. My pants are thorn, my knee is bruised and bleeding and my hands are sore. Luckily I wore gloves so no scrapings on the palms. The steering on the bike became a bit crooked but my husband managed to fix that.

Also, I had an audience. Yaay! *takes a bow*

[Beth3346]

i hurt my hand over the weekend and it hurts to type

[Ponybookworm]

Recovering from a cold: rest (a lot), clear out the rubbish (especially dead tissues), change clothes & do a laundry, & still somehow keep fed & do what I WANT to do. Why is being ill so much work???

I've felt horrible today.  I know I keep saying that , but it's getting harder to remember when the last day I actually felt normal was. 

I'm scared of scam emails.  I had just got one that was trying to pretend to be Amazon Prime, but I knew it was a fake because I don't even have Prime and the email didn't come from Amazon.  I checked my other email and had 6 emails about claims being processed.  I opened those because I thought they might have something to do with my monthly shot.  I googled the phone number on the email and the company it's from is a real copay company.  The number of emails is the same as the number of shots I've gotten at the place I have to go to if I include this month's shot so I'm hoping it's something they've set up on my behalf.  I have never dealt with the company that the emails are from and the email they were sent to is not one that I give out often, but I do use it for medical stuff and work.
