If I were 11

I remember being 11 and 12 and wanting desperately to be a 'teen'. No idea now, of course, why, but I remember the feelings very clearly. I do not think that was/is uncommon. Except now. If I were 11 now, I'd be counting the days until I was 12 so I could get the vaccination, take off my mask and show the world that I was no longer a little kid. The new rights of passage.

Around here, I am enjoying the fruits of my brother's labor. My house feels so organized and streamlined. I've always loved living here. Always. And now, after 30 years here, I still feel like if I didn't live here, I'd want to desperately. I'm so lucky.

Today is dinner and a game at the ballpark. This means I need to charge up the scooter and pick out a Mariners shirt from my collection and not eat much of anything to shore up my hungry.

This morning, Biggie is bird spotting from the living room. Not sure what that's all about.

And just when we think it's safe...

Another bird, another breadbag... He brought it into the same spot in the living room which I now refer to as the killing field. RIP little bird.

One thing that does occur. This morning is one of the first mornings in a long time that we've had full sun on the terrace. I'm pretty sure, the last time we had a kill, it was a full sun day and I'm also pretty sure we've not had one since the last full sun day.

Interesting. Maybe the sun makes the birds crazy or Biggie. Another data point to watch. Not sure what to do about it but data will be collected nonetheless.

After the phone debacle, I could no longer get my phone attached to my chromebook and it was bugging the shit out of me. So, just now, I did a power wash on the chromoebook. This is basically a factory reset. It's easy peasy and I'm back in operation in under 5 mins. I should do it more often. Anyway, issue totally fixed!

Biggie just came back in from outside and went over to the kiling fields to make sure his bird was not still there. I think he gave me the stink eye.

Biggie 2, birds 0 - today's tally so far

i'm convinced the full sun is in play here.
