Brave celebrities using their celebrity to do good. That’s what I like to see.
Not much new - working, sleeping, hiking - smelled a mountain lion yesterday but couldn’t see anything - it smells like the lion cage at the zoo - just like a giant dura in Captured!
I am without reading material so I think I’ll take a suggestion from Rebecca at Dirty Sexy Books and pre-order a copy of Guy Gavriel Kay’s newest release, Under Heaven. His prose is glorious!
I’m also glad to hear that George R.R. Martin may finally release the next book in his mammoth, brilliant and once missed the mark series - A Song of Fire and Ice. I had despaired of ever learning what happened to my favorite few surviving characters.
Personal tragedy - I have this parrot, and she has a buddy, a little parakeet we rescued from a wilderness park - snatched her right out of the claws of a hawk. We call her Alstie. Anyway, Alstie and my parrot are best friends and true companions. They love each other. We keep our house pretty cool so I have this heat lamp - off the cage and it’s low voltage and I check it all the time to make sure it’s not too hot. Anyway, somehow Alstie got her wing caught in the heat lamp on Monday when I was at work and burned off her tail, part of her wing and a relatively large area on her back. Since I cannot catch her, she’s totally untamed, I can’t medicated her or clean the area - as a nurse who once worked on a burn unit, I know how bad burns can be - bad stuff is likely to happen after the initial injury. I’ve been feeling so awful because I can tell she’s in pain and I’ve been waiting for her to get septic and die and that thought makes me really sad. But! She’s rallied! I figured if she could survive the first week, she had a chance. She’s eating, moving and talking a bit. Where there’s life there’s hope! Wish her luck!

Thanks. That’s about all I’ve been able to do for her. She seems better today. Fingers crossed!
