Catching Up

I'm busily packing and sorting through things in my closets and files. I threw out more than 8 bags of garbage over the weekend! It has been interesting going through this process. It's a trip down memory lane. Something as simple as a cancelled check can take me back to moments I had completely forgotten. I also can't believe I survived on so little. Now it seems like I can't save a dime.

I took my bird to the vet yesterday for x-rays. They revealed something in his chest. The vet thinks it is metal toxicity. I couldn't think of how he got a hold of any metals, but suddenly it occurred to me that he has been messing with the lamp by his cage. That could be it. I'm waiting for a call back from the vet. He will probably have to go on antibiotics. The poor dear!

A friend of mine told me that her company is going to sponsor a trip to France next May. I'd really like to go, but I don't think I can afford it or take that much time off. It figures.
