Todays adventure....

My morning started out with having all 13 macaws out on their play gyms by 9am. I had the plumber coming to move the baseboard heating in the bird room to under the windows (where it should have been in the first place). I needed to clean the windows and the floor before they started and move all the cages away from where they'd be working.

After a couple hours I figured they might be thirsty...I should have known better. As I was walking around with a BOWL in my hand giving everyone a drink of ice water Budgie wanted seconds, so the nice "mom" I am went back, he took a nice long drink then narrowed his eyes....he nailed the same finger Ruben did at the beginning of the week! He ripped open my cuticle and held on.

I decided he needed a time out and went to get a stick (don't trust him stepping on my hand, been bit too many times that way). Well, he jumped on the floor and ran over to the t-stand Moki was on. I grabbed her and tossed her across the room. She didn't like that and came back to not only attack Budgie but to show me who's boss. I don't know how she did it but she ended up on the atom that was hanging above my head. I toweled Budgie and gave him a time out in Harleys cage. I had to towel him to get him out, he complained but settled down after I put him on my lap. We had a few minutes of scritches then he wanted to get away.

After the plumber was done I decided to clean the room and mop the floor. Now, the floor is cement and I was wearing flip flops. I had mopped the entire section the length of the window. I needed to get more newspaper from the kitchen to clean cages...it happened so quickly. As I made the turn around the cages my feet kept going straight while my body went the other way. I landed on my left knee...Harley was in the room with me and just looked at me. MaiTai was looking at me from the kitchen saying "Oh ****" over and over.

I have a huge black and blue on my knee, elbow and top of my hand.

Ouchies. NOT a fun day, I can tell! Might wanna watch the knee. Last time I did that, I ended up with torn stuff and a year's worth of healing, even with physical therapy.

I hope you're feeling better soon. Painkillers are the ticket! STRONG painkillers! *grins*

Update... my knee is very sore and b&g, my wrist is killing me and I must have twisted my lower back. I just took a muscle relaxer an once it kicks in I'm heading to bed.

Snowboarding is definitely out for this weekend.
