Bird Sitting Pretty, and Not

Well, Bird Brigade, Bird's fever hasn't broken. She woke up with a temperature of 101.9, so she is home again today. Yesterday, the doctor told Ted that she had "the cold with flu-like symptoms that wasn't the flu" that's going around, apparently, so there's nothing to do but try and keep her comfortable and amused while it runs its course. So yesterday, Ted and Bird went and explored the Knollwood Mall, where there is a TJ Maxx Home Goods store that Ted has been wanting to check out now that he is working on projects to sell more sheets and the like. They had lunch at Panera and got the car washed. Tough act for Julie to follow today. It turned out to be fortuitous in one way that Ted and Bird were home yesterday: the sofa repair people called and said the sofa was ready, and so Ted said "Bring it!" So it's back, and it is pretty fabulous in every way. Look at how fluffy the pillows are! They look like. . .what? REAL sofa pillows! That's it! Here Bird is sitting pretty on it (and Boo--let's not forget Boo). Hopefully, she will be sitting pretty for real soon.
