Thank you phoenixcat, that's such a nice thing to say. I will now try to look forward instead of backward and concentrate on the fact that I will definitely try to give this bird a good life, and on the fact that my old bird will finally have a companion.
I'm going to do a list before lunch.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client 10 minutes on plants Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

After lunch I went outside but could only stay half an hour, way too uncomfortable. So all I did was water all the recently planted things. Now that I'm inside I see that I'm starting an ocular migraine so I guess I'll have to sit for the next 45 minutes until it goes away. I swear they are connected to stress even though what I've read about them say they don't know the cause other than constriction of blood vessels.
My shopping friend will probably call today and if she does it will be soon, so I can close my eyes and relax while talking to her.

Diane, that little bird doesn't know it YET, but he/she is going to have a good life with you and your already on board bird. Thanks for saving it in a good way.

Oh thank you catcats, it helps to think in terms of "saving" him. And yes, the poor guy (I'm hoping he will turn out to be a boy so I will call him that until I know otherwise) doesn't know it yet--he's sitting in one spot and as far as I can tell he hasn't eaten anything yet. I put some music on for them, a little quieter than I usually do, and my current bird chirped but the new one didn't. Birds seem to take a couple of days to adjust to any kind of change, even minor ones, so I'm sure he'll be okay in time.
No phone call yet, so maybe not until tomorrow. I will work in the meantime.
Next:
Pot up 2 caladium bulbs in 2 separate pots Place Walmart order Choose military names for letter/cards Delete 10 hard emails

I decided to run to the library, I had a book due today but I figured going to the pet store was more important so thought I would go tomorrow and just pay the overdue fee. But rain is predicted for tomorrow and they aren't specific as to when, so I got ready to go, but couldn't find my library card. It's always in my wallet but I remember last time I went there were people up near the self checkout and I just wanted to hurry up and move out of the way so I must have put it in my purse instead of the wallet. So I looked everywhere, including in my purse, couldn't find it, so I went and got money and proof of address so I could get a replacement card--meanwhile it's getting closer to closing time which is early on Fridays. I finally looked in my purse again and found it, so I was able to go, but that was half an hour wasted time.
I didn't even finish my last list, I still have to go online and choose military names.
After that, and posting in the challenge thread, I think I'm giving up for today, tomorrow will be more productive.

I spent a chunk of time today folding clothes. I have another bag packed to donate I took DH's small Rubbermaid bin and cleaned it out. He had brand new packages of layering pieces, think under armour but cheaper versions. I put those in plastic gallon Ziploc bags in case they have critters. All of his winter stuff that wasn't washed is ziplock'd.
I have one more basket of clean clothes to sort and fold.
Met my DD and SIL for Mexican food. It was good. We sat outside and I got a chill. I have on a sweatshirt and I am sitting on a heated seat to warm up
I am behind on cleaning my bottles for our craft tomorrow. I threw a bunch in the dishwasher and I am hoping that works in the delabelling process I hope I have enough twine!
Ok. Heading home to go to bed!!

Diane, hoping your new bird settles in well!
Reached the end of a long week. I have Monday off work, so hoping that I can get a bit of a clothes and shoes clearout going. I finally ordered myself some new running shoes as my current ones have been causing me pain as they seem to be slowly disintegrating. I think that's a good excuse to clear out my half of the shoe rack in the hallway.
Done: Sprayed down shower Handled mail Vacuumed bedroom Achieved dining table zero Achieved coffee table zero Achieved floor clothes zero Watered plants
Jobs for the next few days: Organise a callout for oven repair Wash blankets from the living room Water the lawn now we have put moss killer down
