Mixed...
Sooo... I'm frustrated by my lack of organization. My days have no self-imposed structure, and my rooms is a mess. I fail to do the things I need / want to do, seeming to not get much done besides Work. < sigh > When will I learn how to take control of my life?
I *did* however have a very pleasant chat with someone who I've been meaning to catch up with for a while, and was even told that a call would be welcome. I'll have to get to that at some point. But that's also a little frustrating... so many friends are so far away... And I seem so crummy at keeping contact with them. < SIGH >
Ahh yes.. Bird. Still no name, I'm afraid. I've thought of Tanya, one of my favorite characters from my father's books. But what if she's not female? Not sure about that one. Tanya *did* pretend to be male a bit... I've also been considering interesting translations (Ooo.. gaelic! I hadn't thought of that.. should ask someone about it.) I am currently considering Tári-Titta, which is roughly "little queen" in Elvish.
Unforunately, while she's really quite sweet and lets me pet her and will sometimes agree to sit on my finger, and greets me with a raising of her wings when I come into the room, she still isn't doing anything (!!!), and I'm worried. Parakeets are supposed to play and explore and chirp--she shows interest in none of this! I'm scared that she isn't just adjusting and that this isn't going to go away or that I don't know the right things to do for her... I feel so guilty... what if I've taken her away from a happy life with with her playmates to live in miserable solitude with me? Meh...
