Bertha continues to be a very good houseguest. She's putting on weight despite the occasional setback, so I continue to be optimistic. She tries her hardest to be a human: in the morning, she stands in the bathroom with me and preens while I do my routine; when it is time to do things around the house, she walks around enjoying sunny spots and scratching for crumbs; when it is time to eat, you bet she is there begging for food or perched on my shoulder trying to steal it from my mouth; when it is time to relax on the couch, she snuggles in my lap.

I got a baofeng finally since I got my technician's license a few weeks back. So far all I've done is listen to the NOAA weather radio.

My wife has finally hired and trained some new people so she is not the sole person doing everything in her department. She's still really busy, but she has a bit more energy when she's off the clock. It's nice to have her back.

Hubski's interest in Bertha is one of my favorite things about this site right now. Glad to hear she's doing well!

I would die for Bertha. She's a gentle and noble hen, and it's nice to hear about her progress :)

Glad things are improving around the house, your wife must feel at least as relieved as you! Congrats on getting your technician's license, too

We've started a new morning routine so now she gets to cuddle in bed with me before I get up. She tucks in under the covers and alternately purrs and nods off.
