Today was supposed to be relaxing and wonderful. Its my day off. Yes its raining, but that can't stop a good day.
But there is one thing that can stop a good day. That item is a note from your dad saying that there is a bird in the basement. Now normally that wouldn't bug me, but when today is also laundry day and the washer/dryer are in the basement, that note seems to be a bit on the not-so-good side of things.
I made it downstairs with one load and got it started. Now in my house we can close the doors(sliding awful ones) to cut the kitchen off from the rest of the house and the basement stairs come up into the kitchen. So I knew I could keep the bird at bay... well at least just in the kitchen.
That bird came upstairs and saw our large picture window in the kitchen and thought it could escape from there. I heard thud after thud. This bird could not understand that no matter what part of the window it went to that it still could not leave through the window. It seriously broke my heart hearing the thuds. I called my dad and he gave me the number for our animal control. I called and left a frantic message on their phone. This was also after the bird escaped the kitchen and flew a couple of times into the big mirror in our living room. Animal control called me back and said they'd send someone out. The bird had flown back into the kitchen so I resealed all the exits. I tried to reason with the bird. I asked God to tell the bird to come to me and I'd take it outside. Have you tried reasoning with a bird? Well you just feel foolish. The animal control guy was here about an hour ago and got the bird out. She had left the kitchen and was waiting in the dining room. Now mind you, I had been dealing with the bird since I woke up so there was no making Katie look good. I talking pjs, hair sticking straight up, just nastiness. Good thing I did put a mint in my mouth before the dude came.
My nerves are still shot. I hear a bird chirping outside and I get all nervous that it could be in the house. Okie. Hopefully the rest of the day will be less eventful.
