it's been so hot lately. the cat has taken to sleeping in the bathroom sink again. something he hasn't done since he was a kitten.



also, mike noticed, a few weeks ago, that some birds had made a nest in our blinds on the balcony. when i first went to check it out i didn't see anything inside. and i figured they must've decided, after building it, that it was too dangerous of a spot. but last weekend i noticed two birds sitting on the blinds near it and flying back and forth from the trees across the way to it. then i realized that they were bringing food to a baby. i stepped out onto the balcony to get a better look and closed the door all the way behind me (because i wanted to keep the cool air in). then the door locked and i was stuck. mike and billy were both at work. after about 10 minutes of sweating my ass off (the a/c unit was blaring hot air at me) i called out to my neighbors. thank god she was home and my apartment door was open so she could come over and let me in.



anyway... back to my story. so i have been watching them now... the birds, not my neighbors. and they are so cool. there are at least 2 babies and they get bigger and bigger everyday. at first i couldn't see them at all, then the next day i saw just their beaks, the next day their whole heads, and now today i could see all the way down to their fuzzy little shoulders and stuff. they are so cute. i enjoy watching the parents bring them food all day. and i feel awful that we are blasting them with hot hot air from our a/c unit that doesn't even cool our apartment down.



so, they are cute and i will just continue to watch them grow and fly away and hope they have a good life.
