You're doing good TT!
I hope you both feel better, reve and ohblondie.
So, today was supposed to be a cooler day, but the upstairs heat is just awful. I had planned to get a whole list of things done but I have to sit most of the time in the room with the birds, with the room A/C.
This morning I put the new bird in with the old bird. So far, so good. I decided that I have to bring them downstairs for the heat wave, since the handyman will be here tomorrow and he'll help me move them downstairs. Once they're downstairs, I'll be with them a lot of the time, but not all the time, so I wanted to put them together now when I can sit in there observing.
I also went out to plant 2 plants, I couldn't stay out any longer. There are 4 more plants on the porch--one I want to pot in a bigger pot and permanently leave on the enclosed front porch, the others I might just put into bigger pots and put on the front porch temporarily. It's getting too late to plant them outside since it will be so hot soon, so they might be better off waiting.
I talked to my decluttering client and washed some dishes, other than that I've been sitting down reading.

Hi oust! Don't feel bad if you can't post often, work (and life) come first--check in when you can, we're always glad to hear from you! I'm glad you're getting a good amount of work now.
Up until one hour ago it was so hot up here that I could only do one little thing and had to go back to the bird room, the room A/C isn't very cool but it's a lot better than nothing. I did sit in that room and plant some seeds from the fridge--they were in there a long time so I don't know if they'll grow, but I'm going to try.
The birds are doing well together, I hope it continues--sometimes when they're first introduced they're kind of puzzled and if one will be pesty or aggressive that doesn't happen right away, but it's been really cute watching them. The new bird follows old bird around, and old bird is okay with that until new bird gets closer than about 6 inches away, then old bird moves. But--one time new bird got distracted by a toy and was playing with it, and I saw old bird inching his way closer to him! So I am fairly optimistic at this point that it will work out. The new bird went to look at all the toys, and scraped on the cuttlebone--like he's trying everything out. Then they will both fall asleep for a while, 6 inches apart.
I have waffled back and forth but have decided to definitely move them downstairs tomorrow, I will be less anxious if I know they're in the coolest place in the house, even though that isn't all that cool.
Tonight I have to go out and do some watering and weeding, but I'm going to wait until later. It's down to mid-70s now, so I have the fan drawing the cooler air through.

the work week comes to a close... ohblondie and reve hope you feel better TwinkleToes you did so much, glad friend visit went well and here you are cranking away again! Hope Confusion leaves you alone! Diane sooooo glad birds are doing well catcats you have a lot ahead, many prayers for you! May He hold you in the palm of His hand! today was an awkward day as I had to deal with medical offices. got an appointment with specialist for about 2 weeks out. was glad it was not months! had to call my own doc office to get a return to work letter just due to Chaos basically being Chaos. work is kind of a muddle. I did get stuff done today. I am an ambivert. I just heard that expression for the first time. I am such an introvert that I dread making phone calls. I am such an extrovert that I miss being in work. but I did get work done, moved some projects along, had to meet with Chaos but just a short one, and I submitted a big report which was due today. phew. I did the dishes. did some bathroom floor mopping. tossed out some old dog toys. today was day in which I took pupster to daycare. So I have a gloriously tired lab!! I went to Aldi's today as it is a smaller store to walk in. bought groceries. this was a hard week. I had tentative plans for us to go visit familly this weekend in a resort but did not happen due to a few things, knee being a biggee. I was supposed to go to a Big City for a conference next week but did not happen as we have Super Big Project next week. So I pulled out, I could not just leave my team with this huge project. but it would have been fun and easy as with DD home no need to find pet sitters, pay pet sitters, get house ready for pet sitters, wonder if I should board pup or have pet sitter, no fee to pay, no worries about animals but of course I would have worried about DD, my very competent young adult but mothers worry! anyway so many emotions -- worried about my future mobility, worried about work, mixed feelings about missing family and work trips -- as a result, I feel very unsettled. Now I am drowsy. DD is home tonight which is so nice. like a sigh of relief. she was chatting away and she had me smell some of her favorite perfumes. I just adore that girl and I so love having her home. like that old poem....Mornings at seven, God's in his heaven, all is right with the world. I might have the words wrong. but DD being home is like all is right with the world! Gnite!
