Christmas with no plans. I think that this is the first Christmas I

have ever been alone. Unlike last year I did not put up a tree. But

I did decorate in other ways. Hannah gave me two brass candle

stick holders that say JOY. No need to put them away after

Christmas. I want joy in my life every day.

I was out and about today and stopped in at Northwest Seed and

Pet. They had a peach faced lovebird. He looked so sad. I had

seen him there about a month ago. So I took him home. I had to

buy a cage, food etc. As Ileft the store I thought that the total was

a bit low. When I got home I realized they had not charged me for

the cage. They were surprised when I called to get the amount I

needed to send them. But I would have always felt guilty when I

looked at the cage.

Entry

The web site is coming along. I have joined a love bird news

group. Lots of messages but I am learning a lot. Living with

Squeek is getting into a pattern. Most birds go to sleep at sun

down. But Squeek will get up in the morning and be active before

I go to work. When I come home for lunch he is always in his

cuddle hut. He comes out again and is active until I go back to

work. When I get home at night he spends a lot of time being

active. He can stay up until 9:00 pm as long as there are lights

on. He likes to visit me in the bedroom. I leave a towel that

hangs from the end of the bed and he uses it to climb up. It

seems that I am not as intimidating in a prone position. It is funny

to feel his little feet pattering up the quilt. And when we are all in

bed together it realy feels like a peacable kingdom.
