Good morning turkeyhill!
Reve, I hope you fought off whatever you were coming down with.
Oust, it sounds like you have as much work as you can handle, that's good, although it's hard to do anything at home when you work long days.
Catcats, thank you, I do think I made the right decision. The weird thing is, as soon as the old bird knew there was another bird in the room he totally relaxed--now hearing birds outside doesn't provoke any reaction, and he doesn't seem desperate for the younger bird's attention--he goes to different perches at different times, not just the perch next to the other cage. It's now the younger bird that seems upset if the old one leaves the perch right next door!
Today is the first of 2 days with a high of 90, then we have 2 days in the lower 80s and then--I don't even want to think about it. The next 6 days, which is as far as the 10 forecast goes, are lower 90s, all in a row. I'm seriously worried about how I will handle that. And it's only mid-June.
I went outside early and spent an hour and 15 minutes watering, with some weeding in between. And I still only watered 3/4 of the yard, I'll have to go back out short periods at a time to finish the rest over the course of the day. I have several things blooming now, but not very many bees--hopefully they will pick up like they did last year after a reduction in numbers.

hi everyone thanks so much for your well wishes!! Diane I am SO glad that the birds are doing well!
I go to doc tomorrow; I just have this feeling they will be slackers...I want a referral to an specialist. I hope PT is the key. It is feeling better but I am not using it ...and when I start to use it - the pain starts to come back. I am feeling kind of depressed and a little scared.
I have developed a new phrase "the carelessness of the able bodied" - a little dramatic I guess but what I mean is when I had no knee issues I could be careless and think I'll do that later. Now with mobility issues everything is so much harder and stuff I let just pile up is more of an issue than an annoyance because it is harder to deal. I now need to be so careful - in my movements and in dealing with literal stuff and just life. DD continues to be such a huge help and has had to go to the grocery store everynight unfortunately to get a dinner and things I forgot - my old careless self had no worries to run an errand but now I need to really thing about all that I need.
Chaos is still ugh. She has not once asked me how I am! it seems like she would at least care from a work standpoint. I sent in my doc letter for accomodation to work at home this week. yesterday was this all day meeting that she was so nasty about. every single person there wished me well except her... she actually brought up a story about another employee who took a really long disabillity time and another employee who was in much worse shape who came back right away. SMH.
So I was on a zoom from 9 - 11:30 and 1:15-5 straight. I was so brain dead and actually had a headache. I am amazed at the people who can just keep going for hours and hours.
today I have so much work to do. it is such a busy time. I wish I had the money to call up today and say I quit! But I am grateful for and need this job as I need the money.
I have not done much. I was able to get puppy into daycare yesterday which was such a blessing! no way could she have endured me in a zoom all day. DD was at her job so puppy would have been wild. and then we had a tired puppy at night which is the best bonus of daycare!
otherwise while we are keeping up with the basics - litter, dishes, groceries, the house is starting to look shabby. I have asked poor DD to do some housekeeping today. I'll do what I can do.

Good morning bree and TT!
My plan was to go out several times today for 10-15 minutes to finish the watering, but I went out about an hour ago and it was already so hot I figured I would just stay out and finish--it is bound to be worse in a few hours. I watered the rest of the yard, including the tree, which wasn't on my original plan. I weeded and cut down some fast growing things, like the pokeweed that is sprouting in a few places. I brought the two cans in from the street, and I refreshed the bird baths and watering bowls, I also put some fruit and compost in the butterfly puddler. So, now I don't have to go out for the rest of the day if I don't want to.
It's still relatively cool downstairs so the central air has not kicked in, so I put the window unit on upstairs. And now I will cool off and figure out the rest of the priorities for today.
Diane

Good for you TT! 
I'm not having a good day--I think something's wrong with my window air conditioner unit--and just before a major heat wave--ugh.
I also got a letter from my state saying I owed something on last year's income tax with no explanation of why.
I'm going to have to pull out my room AC and hope that it still works.

This is going to make me eat crow, because I didn’t want to buy the warranty, but my husband insisted.
