Livejournal Dream

I wish I had written it down this morning when I first woke up, but I got too busy with caring for the kids and animals, etc. I had a dream that I went to meet [livejournal.com profile] preternatural and [livejournal.com profile] jessical in real life. I'm pretty sure the dream came from reading about [livejournal.com profile] preternatural's dream the other day. We were meeting in an airport somewhere and I was taking them to some high school reunion or something. We were like 3 best friends.

hmmmm...

In other news, the bird is doing great. I had a half a day of thinking she was a starling and keeping her, but now I'm quite sure she's a sparrow (not as good pets) so I'm pretty sure I'm going to let her go. It's hard because nobody will take her, no pet stores, no animal sanctuaries, no veterinarians (I've called and called). She has about doubled in size since Saturday and she's getting lots of feathers. She's even trying to fly a little bit, which is so cute. I just hope she's ok when I let her go, she didn't have the teachings of her avian mom about how to avoid cats and how to hunt for food. Fingers are crossed. She definitely has already imprinted on me, which is not good because she clearly thinks I'm her momma. When I try putting her back in her box after feeding her, she struggles to stay on my hand. It's kinda heartbreaking.

If you think she's imprinted on you, it may not be such a good idea to release her. Her chances for survival are probably not that good. It's a shame you can't find anyplace that will take her. :(

Yeah, I'm kind of afraid of that as well. I was thinking of releasing her at my house and trying to keep a cage for her outside. I know it's probably pretty unrealistic, but I really don't know what else to do. I figure her chances of survival were zilch if I didn't pick her up on Saturday, so I feel I've already done a good thing (rationalization, anyone?)

We'll see what happens...I needed this like a hole in the head.

Cool. Maybe it's a sign. (Yes, I'm talking out my ass, but it's before eight a.m., and I'm allowed.)

Wow, talking out of your ass, I'd pay to see that.

Sorry, I guess my weird-dreaminess is infecting other people!

Last night it was one in which I found rolls of paper towels in deep blues, purples, greens, and burgundies. I was totally excited, thinking indigo paper towels would rock. But they cost $4.75 a roll.

Oh don't be sorry. I love dreams that I can remember. And to be honest, you've been on my conscious mind a lot lately. As I've said before, I so admire your strength and I'm so very happy for you and Jes and Gabe.

Best of luck with the move.
