French toast and farewell to Snowy
Oct. 7th, 2010 04:30 pmNote to self - do not try to catch up on journal posts while simultaneously babysitting a griddle full of french toast. And misplacing the spatula and running around in a circle going "I can't find my spatula!" prompting my entire family to suddenly begin reciting the Spatula City (Spatula City! SPATULA City!) commercial from UHF.
Been a mixed sort of day, started off badly with finding one of my parakeets in a bad way from being egg-bound (pretty seriously) then having to find a vet who treats small birds, then getting her there only to find what I'd already figured, that we'd have to put her down. The only good side of that is it was Snowy, the mean bird, not Sherbet the nice one - now Sherbet won't have to spend every day in a cage with a broody, dominant hen who attacks her from time to time, so overall maybe an improvement though I will miss old Snowy and we'll have to find Sherbet a new friend.
So considering it started off with putting down a small pet, the rest of the day's been pretty good... found some nice stuff for my Etsy shop including a vintage "space race" card game we're going to try playing, worked at the food cupboard bagging beans and filling little bottles of shampoo, making french toast with maple extract in them as an experiment (Next time, more extract), etc.
Just maundering about life, I guess - hope yours is also on an upswing!
