We've made some changes around the house to accommodate the rehabilitation of Katie's new knee. We positioned a convenient chair in the walk-in shower and put the shampoo and soap within easy reach of the bather. We can't think of everything.
Yesterday Birdie took full advantage of the new arrangement and ate what was left of the Dove bar. It was an act of unpardonable stupidity on her part, not confusion. We don't believe for a minute she mistook it for the popular ice cream product of the same name.
She was up all night last night -- so were we, which is not unusual these days, but we were just starting to get back to more regular sleep. Thank you very much.
About 3 a.m. she tossed her cookies, er soap, mostly onto hard surfaces, so cleanup was a breeze. Just add warm water, it made its own lather.
She's feeling just fine this morning, prancing around, acting nonchalant, home free. We'll skip her breakfast and she can nap the rest of the day. We're tired too, but that's to be expected, what with exercises twice a day, pain killers and all the other rehab rigamarole.
There will be no punishment for Birdie, of course, and there will be no after-effects, we are sure. As the information on the box makes clear: it's hypo-allergenic, fragrance-free -- and perfect for sensitive skin.
