JUST MORE STUFF ©By Russ







Life here gets to moving a bit when Em pulls in from work. Misty and Tipper hit the gate, tails wagging, making happy sounds. The cockatiel screams for her attention, while I pull a chilled glass out of the freezer and pour her some wine. Not more than seconds through the door, and she has rolled her pantyhose and panties down off of her hips and into tight ball, tossing them aside like the peel of an exotic fruit. A sip from her glass and straight for the shower, to wash her work away. Misty automatically wanders over and curls up in front of the bathroom door, creating something to trip over when she comes back out. Becoming something to guard against rather than the other way around. Emmy makes an appearance wearing a t-shirt big enough for us both to wear, with a big towel wrapped around her wet hair. With glass in hand, she settles onto the couch to take a quick look at the mail, before starting to tell me about her day. Unwinding and coming together again at the end of the day is a habit we’ve both learned to enjoy...I listen she talks, (it hasn’t always been that way). Cockatiel perches on my shoulder, hissing and biting, every time I move, or nod my head. Starling perches on my head and tugs at strands of hair...’hey be careful what you do up there’. This dull-colored bird is showing the beginnings of a black and white spotted vest. Emmy checks the computer to see if there’s any mail. I hope she has some, ‘cause I feel a bit uneasy if it’s all for me'. Together we spot something new outside the window, just beyond the computer screen. A baby dove has discovered the safety of our back porch, and has made her self at home. Who knows, maybe we’ll just sit together at the end of the day and unwind too.
