New Day, New Birds, New status for Biggie

Yes, it is just before 8 am and that is birds... plural.

He brought in the first one and it got away. He got it again but then it was lost. It actually may well be in this pile of stuff from the terrace cupboards. If it's there, it can stay there. I'm not digging in looking for it.



I opened up the door to the terrace in hopes it would fly out. It may have.

I got coffee and sat down. Biggie was here on the floor just sitting and a fucking bird FLEW IN THE DOOR!!! Seriously, bird brain is not an unfair jab. Dudes got no sense.

Biggie tore after it. He knows his job and he done it. It was back beyond the kitchen somewhere. He brought the body back here to his 'body' spot in the living room. (At least he's consistent with that.) I'm now using whatever plastic bags I have on hand. That stupid bird is now out of its misery and in the trash.

So now, Biggie is not so much a predator as a protector of me!

Meanwhile, night two and no report from the behaviorist. So I sent an email. This morning I got one from her assistant saying they had sent the report twice now... did I get it? Was I receiving emails? Yes, actually, I got her email fine. Still not report. It amuses me to think of some other SusanDennis who maybe has one n in Dennis or some other typo-close email address getting my cat report. Sure better than the Sears receipts and real estate documents I get from people using the wrong address.

I have several things being delivered today from different places/vendors and, oddly, they are all coming via UPS. The good news here is that UPS is nearly always here about noon and always brings everything right to my door. So I don't need to keep an eye on the tracker or even haul shit up here from the garage. Nice.

I loved the TV show, The Good Wife. I followed it when it turned into The Good Fight and dutifully paid for CBS All Access to watch it every season. This year, CBS All Access turned into Paramount+ with a different fee structure and they lost a couple of key cast members and they picked up one - mandy patinkin who is one of my least favorite actors of all times. So I was done. Except then Amazon offered Paramount+ for 99 cents a month for 3 months and so I got it and decided to watch one episode. And then two. And now, of course, I'm hooked. Solidly. And will have to keep the subscription and pay full price until the last episode drops. Sigh. Such a good show. And, so far at least, this season is way better than the last two where they were kind of going off the rails.

I have a fair number of chores that I want do accomplish today including getting the few remaining items out of the terrace cupboards before it gets too hot so I'd better get on it.

Murphy's Stupid Law

The one day I really want UPS to get here on time, they do not. It's 3 pm. A hair past their promised time of 10:45-1:45. Plus this means it's not the usual guy so he probably won't deliver to my door if he ever gets here.

Also I have a delivery coming via Fed Ex which is promised by End Of Day which is likely Monday.

Sigh.

On the other hand, The cat people have decided that my email can't handle PDFs so they sent me the Word Doc version of their report. After 4 emails from me asking for it. And, of course, it was not at all worth the effort. She repeated the jargon she gave me on the phone, told me not to do a bunch of stuff that I would never do anyway and recommended 6 different cat toys, 4 of which Biggie has and 1 was a food puzzle that sucked so badly I sent it back. Quelle waste of time. But, no big deal. I can, at least quit stressing about it.

I got the terrace cupboards emptied and still, I'm delighted at the relative smallness of the pile. I also got the sewing room turned into the guest room.

I learned today of a new Seattle Company founded by the woman who was the marketing directory for Wyze (my 'new Seattle Company' of a few years ago). Vilo does mesh routers that are attractive and cheap and work. I already have a mesh router but if I didn't, I'd be buying these for sure. I'm even tempted anyway.

I found bird feathers in the bathroom and Biggie's been back there a couple of times today so I'm guessing that's where the suicide bomber when this morning when he flew in. Ewww. At least, apparently, the bird action is confined to the morning. So far, once we get to noon, we seem to be bird free for the day.

Game tonight.
