It’s not easy to take a picture of a bird while also also providing the perfect perch for her bath-time. Like the dog, she prefers running water, slightly colder than I would have anticipated.

The boy and I are both sick today, with colds and general misery. I do not like having company while I’m sick, and I think I’ve made him feel worse by making that a little too obvious. But I’m the crawl off in the corner and be by myself kind of sick person and he’s the snuggle up on the couch and want attention kind of sick person, and they’re really not a good combo.

Took an actual sick day from work but I am still feeling compelled to check email every hour.
