Blah!

I'm not doing so well on my nanowrimo. I only have 440 words. And, Sisco is just as naked as ever. But...at least I have 440 words! That's more than what I had before! So what if Sisco is naked? At least she is happy! Maybe a little chilly, but happy!

Two Weeks From Hell

My family has had the worst 2 weeks imaginable! We lost the patriarch member of my husband's family after a lengthy illness. It wasn't a complete surprise, however death is never welcomed or expected.

On top of losing my husband's grandfather, my 95 year old grandmother fell and broke her femur bone and had to have surgery to fix it. Since she had a hip replacement surgery less than 5 years ago, it wasn't as simple as putting in a few screws. She had to have a plate, some screws, and wire to hold it in place! She is such a trooper and came through the surgery with flying colors!

All of this has affected Sisco. Her new shoulder feathers are gone. Her leg feathers are gone, there is a tail feather on the floor next to her cage, and she did nothing but yank and pull feathers out last evening while we were cuddling. Needless to say, she is pissed at me! 

Grumpy Gus!

Sissy is very grumpy. Who could blame her tho. Last week at this time, she was all tucked into bed. Daylight savings is hard on our babies. But...at least she still has all her new feathers!!!

Dare I say It?

This morning, Sisco still had her new feathers on her shoulders and the ones on her chest are still there! Today's plans are to give her a bath and to get her to eat some scrambled eggs. We're not going to be home much today, but while I am home, I will make sure to give her one on one attention. 

New Feathers!!

Sissy has new feathers on her shoulders and 2 coming in on her chest! Yes, I am celebrating these feathers even though I know that they won't stay for very long. It's an accomplishment, no matter how tiny! :-)
