Ugh. Joy & Brian arrive this afternoon, and there is much to be done—but I have a cold that started yesterday evening. I must have sneezed 30 times today. Somehow, Jonathan didn’t wake me up until 10:30 a.m. this morning! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I prised them open to peer at the clock. So I have been plugging away at the cleaning, vacuuming, etc., but the minutes just keep ticking by. Guess things will not be up to my usual standard.
On the other hand, I feel as though I’m moving in a slow fog and can’t speed up, even though I’ve had three cups of coffee. I also haunt my computer to see if anyone is actually reading this blog and also to see if the next version of my genealogy software has been put up for download yet; those of us on the mailing list for it having been expecting it since last Thursday. I remain yet to be fulfilled, however.
My child caused me to leave Whole Foods yesterday without purchasing anything and with him under one arm. He was a little whatsit, full of contradictions and pushing those boundaries. Finally we sat down in the rocking chair and got to the heart of the problem—he misses our friend, Andy. Either that or he misses Andy’s bubble machine (his PDA, which has a Bubbles game on it). Jonathan often acts up when guests leave, but yesterday was definitely a new record. Good thing we’re having new company today.
I’ve been watching the cardinals, Carolina wrens, and squirrels fight over my newly rehung bird feeder this morning, and I’ve decided that what I need is another bird feeder. Except where will I hang it? All my hooks are occupied.

Posted by: Patrick on March 4, 2003 11:56 PMLiz: I have found that now matter how many bird feeders you hang, the aviary word will spread and your feeders will empty at the same rate as if you added none. I started with one small, now have 2 small and 1 extra large, and I still can't keep up. Fill in the a.m., empty by the time I get home.
You can, too, tell when someone reads your blod IF they leave a message, like I just did!
