Could be. Things have been busy here; hopefully you won't hold it against me if I don't keep you up-to-date every single day. After all, I never claimed this would be one of THOSE kinds of blogs...
I worked on DVD menus and special features straight through yesterday and had a miserable night when my parrot expressed a keen interest in climbing the curtains of his adjacent window and hanging from them like a bat.
I decided for his better interest to take him upstairs for the night with me to his "vacation cage," where he can get away to when he needs attention and isn't finding it in his own room. Unfortunately, he really hates his vacation cage. I can't figure it out, but something about the room makes him incredibly uneasy. He won't stand anywhere but in the very corner, all night, and if -- heaven forbid -- I should turn off the lights, then he'll make a jump for it and fly straight for the stairs.
I thought maybe the claustrophobic corner was making him jumpy, so I moved his cage last night to the floor, and then set it next to my bed. Unfortunately, I seem to have been wrong about the corner; he remained skittish and paranoid unless I held him. And the thing about birds is, you can't let them sleep in your bed with you, or you might roll over and squash them.
So I zonked out "early" at 2AM, still in my clothes, and left the stairway lamp on. And he stood on the corner of his cage wide-awake, I think, and waited all night for me to wake back up and return him to his room. Poor little bird.
On a side-but-related note, I dreamed I took a group of children camping, and someone lit a fire in the forest and burned some trees down. At least one kid died in the fire.
