My ribs hurt, starting just under my shoulder blade, going around to the front, almost to the sternum. But only on the right side of my body.
Pulled some weeds yesterday, using long rake to get the ones with long roots up and out when needed. Didn't think it was that strenuous. *wince* Guess I was wrong.
And that solitary Lorikeet was back again today. Same spot. I chatted with it for a while. I really miss Archimedes, but this guy makes it hurt a little less for a while.
Archimedes ‘chat buddy’, a wild Rainbow Lorikeet, stopped by again. I will resist the urge to tame it, as I can get pretty close to it. It might have been someone else’s pet, but it’s doing ok on it’s own.
Alan says he is surprised at how much he misses Archimedes. Just got through putting groceries away, and we used to have Archimedes as a cheering section. Squawking and bouncing on his perch as we worked. It's just so quiet.
Odd thing happened this morning, though. A wild Lorikeet landed in the yard... it started calling, then waiting. and called again. Flew off after a few minutes. I'm wondering if it was Archimedes 'chat buddy'.
People who don't have pets, or don't like them, don't understand that it's not "just an animal". They become part of your life, and you do love and care for them. And when they are gone, especially because of a stupid accident, it hurts a lot. As childish as this reads, I want him back. Logically, I know that isn't possible.
