#annual weather

[the-ephemeral-ethereal]

Limits of survival are set by climate, those long drifts of change which a generation may fail to notice. And it is the extremes of climate which set the pattern. Lonely, finite humans may observe climatic provinces, fluctuations of annual weather and, occasionally may observe such things as 'This is a colder year than I've ever known.' Such things are sensible. But humans are seldom alerted to the shifting average through a great span of years. And it is precisely in this alerting that humans learn how to survive on any planet. They must learn climate.

Newt’s allergy to soybean has been theorized for a while but never confirmed, until today. He used to pluck really bad and we sorted out that pellets high in soybean seemed to trigger the plucking. At the time we also changed 100 other things to help alleviate the plucking so while soybean was a possibility we couldn’t say it was 100% the cause.

So from then on he’s been getting the only soybean free pellet (TOPs) and some caitec OFB which still has soybean but it’s lower on the list since there’s much debate on whether or not TOPs is nutritionally balanced. He hasn’t had any problems with those two.

Today I offered him some Harrison’s high potency pepper pellets as a treat (literally like 10 minuscule pellets that are Mia sized). Thinking the small dose would be fine, the flavour would be a good treat for him, etc. within 5 minutes of eating the pellets he broke out in to a massive sneezing fit. I’m talking back to back constant sneezes with no break in between.

I isolated him to the bird room, ramped up the humidity, heated up the room, and blasted the air filter on high. Minimal changes were happening until I realized what was triggering it (I initially thought it could have been environmental, an air pollutant, etc). The internet was completely unhelpful since looking for “parrot allergies” just shows the absolute basics or humans allergic to parrots. I ended up just thinking about what helps my allergies and offered him some cold cooked sweet potato to coat the throat and cool it to relieve inflammation and itchiness. He almost instantly stopped sneezing, about 10 minutes of offering him small bits of sweet potato to continually soothe the throat and it had completely subsided.

So hey if anyone else’s bird has a food-based allergic reaction - giving them cooked and refrigerated sweet potato seems to alleviate the symptoms.

Busy day of Artst things

Grandma’s Irises, Jacquelyn Block Today was a busy artsy day for me. I had two openings, the Michigan Annual at Anton and the Today’s Weather at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. Since I couldn’t attend both at the same time my mom generously represented me at the Grosse Pointe show and accepted my honorable mention on my behalf. Thank you mom! And although I didn’t win any of the awards at the…

Still figuring out that WFH life but this is the first time I brought my laptop to the hair salon and tbh I like the fact that I can get paid at the same time my hair dye is setting. Getting those small chunks of time back — where I don’t have to schedule a haircut in the evening or the weekend, or waste a half day PTO or even totally unpaid because I needed it for an appointment — is pretty dang cool.

I just abandoned my living room because a centipede touched my arm and vanished, and now there's a big spider on the ceiling over my computer where I escaped to watch TV in my office.

This is why I hate fall.
