Time is flying like an arrow, and the clock hands go so fast they make the wind blow...

So today was a good birthday. Very low key, but nice. Got all sorts of good wishes from people, and my roommate made me a fantastic cake, and I feel better about life in general than I did this morning. And I bought myself a present, a big bag of bath stuff from the book fair in the gallery. It smells good, and it was half-price.

I gave the birds a special treat, putting all the major food groups together for their snacking enjoyment. It was pretty funny, I dismayed Reid and Loren by mixing hard boiled eggs, celery, spinach, broccoli, orange, banana, and pickled beet together, mashing them up with milk, and loading the resultant mass into ice cream cones. The birds liked it quite a bit. They smell a little pickled now, though. Supplemental feeding is supposed to be really good for birds on seed diets, and I should do as much as I can now, while so many fruits and veggies are readily available.

But now I will be heading off to bed. I just drank a quart of water, and it's making me feel very sleepy. Not quite sure why. But I don't mind sleeping. Night, everyone!
