I haven't had much to say lately. I'm not depressed. Just a little blank or "on pause."

Wild Coyote, my husband and I also clean our groceries before bringing them into the house. We do the cleaning in the garage. Stuff is wiped down with rubbing alcohol, unless its an exposed food (like certain vegetables), which are washed well under the sink.

My husband is actually the big shopper of the house, but I've joined in lately.The freezer that's part of our fridge is packed. So is the chest freezer in the garage. We need to cool it with the buying of freezer stuff. Frankly, our supplies are becoming overwhelmingly big.

We put the oven on the self clean cycle for the first time in ages. Ages. The fumes are horrible! All of our windows and the front door are open. There is no way we would have been able to do this with our past pet parrots home. It would have been dangerous or even fatal for them.
