Smart Bird

I have a very smart bird. This morning, he made a little sound, which I like to think of as a little kiss. In response, I made a kiss sound back. Then he made two kiss sounds, and I did two back. Then he kissed three times, and I did too. Then he did four in a row, and I did too. Then he lost count. But wow! I have the smartest parakeet on the block, for sure. Just don't ask him about the vacuum incident. I'm not sure he's gotten over that yet.

Nose Day

Today I had my septum undeviated and my turbinates shrunk.

This is what I look like tonight. An icepack on my cheeks and a gauzy moustache under my nose. How lovely.
