Hilda

Beatrice sat on my lap again today for a good long time. She is my pseudo African Grey that I was saving for years ago. She only cost $2.97 though and will not be a talking parrot friend. But she is fulfilling that desire I had for a bird-friend. ....melting heart. But this is Hilda. Hilda decided to be the photogenic one today.

I won the staring-down contest, almost.

More anger
Breathe
Breathe again (because we all know it is only the second deep cleansing breath that offers relief
Last night: Neighborhood Girls Night Out (thankfully, missile blasting neighbor was not invited.
Over and Out
