Working From Home With Mommy

3/26/2020

Well, it happened. Mommy is working from home. They finally gave her a laptop and send her into quarantine last Friday. And I have to say, she was right about one thing: I find her work excessively dull. How boring! She sits at the computer, processes stuff, and answers messages all day. It's no wonder she rarely has insomnia. Good grief! 

It did get exciting yesterday, because she had a conference call and a webinar. I participated in the conference call. Mind you, I wasn't invited, but I screamed my two-cents worth in anyway. Did you know that speaker phones are more entertaining than regular phones, because you can hear both sides of the conversation? I won't lie - I did answer some things. I believe they were surprised, but it was fun. I enjoyed that. 

I set Bubbles to oversee the webinar while I took a nap, but she reported that it wasn't as much fun as the call. There was no interaction there, because they muted the lines and ran a presentation with us only able to hear the speakers. The nerve! And how boring! It sounds like I came out on the better end of that deal. But we both got rewarded when daddy was home and she "logged off" for the day, because we got to sit on the front porch in our travel/outside cages. The weather is warming up, the rain had taken the pollen down a notch, and it was nice. We don't often get to do that on a weekday. Maybe there are some perks to this quarantine and working from home. 

That's all today. .Be sure to be a good assistant to your parronts if they're working from home, and a good comfort to them if they're "essential" and still must go in (like daddy). Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a wonderful weekend. We've earned it! Anipals are working with their humans these days!

Luv,

Scary Times

Things are getting scary with this quarantine! Schools are closed for teachers and students, churches are closed, no social gatherings, all community events are cancelled, restaurants and bar are take-out or delivery only, shops are limiting purchases of some items (if they have them), and they’re establishing “senior citizen hours” for safe shopping of the quarantined population – but they need to restock their shelves so they have stuff to buy!

But mommy and daddy still have to work. That’s not cancelled. Meetings are cancelled, but work is still open.

Oh well. The world has gone crazy, but the truth is that we aren’t seeing many changes. The parronts did take us to the Sonic Drive-In last Saturday for dinner. That was fun! But since then it’s been work, and home, and normal routine. Scary news reports, and pollen and Zack and I fighting spring hormones. I don’t think we’ll see much change until the weekend. THAT’S when we’ll be affected.

Then again, they’ve always been overprotective of us, especially since Chloe died. That’s a good thing. We have the best parronts, and they take good care of us. They just need to take good care of themselves, too.

And so do you! If you’re quarantined and looking for things to do at home, check out mommy’s latest blog for suggestions. If you’re still out there like our parronts are, take care. You know what to do.

That’s all today. Stay safe, take care, and have a great week.

Luv,

Bubbles

Silly Humans

Panic! Pandemics! Quarantines! Oh my! You humans are in a mess this time. But mommy says this happens every few years. Heck, the flu vaccine doesn’t even work like it used to. It’s inevitable, she says. With your big, nasty bodies, things are bound to go wrong.

Oh my goodness, I’m glad I’m a bird. But it’s spring and we’re hormonal, so I can’t really say that Bubbs and I are off the hook. At least we have parronts who understand us and are committed to our care. That’s good to know. It’s also good to know they won’t take it personally if I bite them because they tried to snuggle me when I've decided it is not snuggle time.

But we have to understand them too. For example, mommy was excited this morning because she finished a big cross-stitch that she’s been working on for 3 years, 1 month, and 3 weeks (I know, because she made me help her count on the calendar). She even got up early so she could iron and starch it before work, and share pictures of it all over social media.

Now she’s gabbing about getting back to writing and starting the next book in the scifi/mystery series she’s writing. Bubbles is excited. This will be the first book series she’ll “help” mommy with from start to finish, since she was in the middle of writing The Earthside Box Set when we adopted Bubbs in 2016. Me? I listen to her talk about characters and settings and plot ideas. Then I joyfully take credit for being her muse when all I did was listen and try not to nod off while she talked and cooked supper, or cleaned, or did whatever mommies are doing all over the house.

I don’t think mommy is very worried about coronavirus. In fact, I think mommy was hoping the President would tell everybody to stay home so she can get back to reading and writing. After she drops off that cross stitch at Hobby Lobby, of course.

Oh, humans. We do love you, even if you are weird and silly.

That’s all today. Take care. Have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a wonderful weekend.

Luv,

Zack

Pissed Off Parrot (or: Humans Aren't Smart)

​Well, they got her. Mommy got the flu last week, and Bubbs and I were helpless to do anything but watch her lie in the chair, sniffle, sneeze, cough, and snort on snot in her sleep. She’s better now, thankfully, but now they’re going to have to listen to her with postnasal drainage for a few weeks.

Thankfully, daddy is smarter than the average human. He got TamiFlu as soon as mommy was diagnosed to stop the spread of this viral parasite. Because that’s what the flu is, folks. It’s a virus, just like Coronovirus. The nature of a virus is to spread so it can continue to survive and mutate in other healthy hosts. We learned that from watching Star Trek Discovery with the parronts over the holidays. You can learn it by reading this article.

I’m going to venture a guess that most humans didn’t see that series, or read the article. Or aren’t nerds like our parronts. Or either don’t know or care about educating themselves on infectious diseases. They’re very good at panicking when there’s a pandemic, and don’t realize their own negligence is what caused it in the first place. You should have been washing your hands, covering sneezes and coughs, and staying home when sick BEFORE the flu and Coronovirus spread all over the nation, and the world.

Humans aren’t  smart, are they? Mommy says no. Mommy says this is inspiring her developing book series. Mommy says the fate of humanity doesn’t look good, in either fiction or reality. I tend to agree with mommy.

I’m glad we can’t catch things from humans because our RNA is less complicated than theirs and the virus can’t bind to me and Bubbs, but I still don’t like that human stupidity has bred something that’s killing people. The pathogens on our planet are certainly taking advantage of stupidity! They don’t need a brain to act on their nature, and take advantage of human negligence.

Yes, I’m a pissed parrot. I don’t like my parronts being sick. I don’t like them having to worry about what other igits are spreading all over creation. One thing is true: this panic over  Coronovirus is coming about three months too late. You should have worried about it when it was contained to Wuhan. That can of worms is open now. There’s no stopping it.

Yes, I’m a pissed parrot. I don’t like my parronts being sick because other people are too stupid to do what they’re supposed to do. We’re not asking you to have complex knowledge about viruses. That’s not how this pandemic happened. It happened because people are inconsiderate and don’t do what they’re supposed to do. Now you’re busted. Just leave our parronts out of it.

That’s all today. Take care if you can, and have a good rest of the week.

Luv,

Zack
