I hope that ...

everyone has a nice peaceful weekend. I had a bad stomach bug The beginning of this week so I'm working today to make up time.

I watched The Great Dr. Scott Sunday morning and a person rescued a wild parakeet (that's what Dr. Scott called it) who had cataracts and couldn't see and brought the bird in for a checkup to make sure he wasn't injured. The bird was very content perched on the vet's hand and was eating treats. It didn't look like the parakeets I'm used to seeing. It looked like an Australian King parrot. It had red feathers.

We think of parakeets as the little budgies. There are 115 different types of parakeets. The Australian King Parrot is also known as the Royal Parakeet... Maybe it was, and that's why he called it a parakeet?

I hope you're feeling better. I know there's a stomach bug making the rounds all over the US lately. This year seems a very buggy year! Have a good weekend!

Yes, he called it a parakeet.

It has been a buggy year. This is my second nasty bug since I got my flu shot in November.
