Wake up and smell the coffee!
Disclaimer - this is not my bird, however my bird looks just like this and she does goofy things just like this. Every morning, in her little birdie voice, she says, “Wake up.” And every night, without fail, in her little birdie voice, she says, “Nite, Tib.” (Her name is Tibby.) It’s so sweet!
Tibby has quite the vocabulary. She asks, “So?” She repeats various versions of “Step up,” as in, “Wanna step up,” and “Please step up,” and “Tib step up.”
She can say, “Wait!” “C’mere.” “Okay.” “What?” “What’s up?”
Of course, cute and funny as she is, she can bite like a demon, or a dinosaur from which she’s descended - I tell you, it’s a good thing dinosaurs shrank into birds because otherwise they’d make very bad pets.
All of which is way off topic! It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve accomplished next to nothing writing-wise. The website’s about all I’ve looked at. Three days of work IRL entails at least two days of mental and emotional recovery. Then I got a nasty migraine. Still have it. I did however, get a contract offer from Siren - which is very exciting - and I managed to fill out my forms. That’s something. And I found this great coffee - just the smell draws me out of bed. Starbuck’s Gold Coast Blend - it’s like heaven.
I have watched some basketball - I’m second in my pool because I picked some early upsets but there’s no way I can win the whole thing. Enjoy some B-ball this weekend! Fist bump for March Madness!
